Invest in These 3 Best Large-Cap Growth Mutual Funds
Read MoreHide Full Article
Growth funds focus on realizing an appreciable amount of capital growth by investing in stocks of firms, the value of which is projected to rise over the long term. However, relatively higher tolerance to risk and the willingness to park funds for the longer term are necessary when investing in these securities. This is because these may experience relatively greater fluctuation than the other fund classes.
Additionally, large-cap funds are ideal investment options for those seeking a high-return potential accompanied by lesser risk than what small-cap and mid-cap funds bear. These funds have exposure to large-cap stocks with a long-term performance history, assuring more stability than what mid or small caps offer.
Commerce Growth (CFGRX - Free Report) seeks growth of capital. CFGRX invests a minimum of 65% of its assets in common stocks of companies that witnessed lower-than-average price volatility in the past. The fund may also invest a major portion of its assets in the technology sector. The fund normally invests in common stocks issued by companies whose characteristics can be compared to those that are included on the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Commerce Growth has returned 21% in the last one-year time frame.
CFGRX has an expense ratio of 0.79% compared with the category average of 1.10%.
