3 Top-Ranked Large-Cap Growth Funds for Spectacular Returns
Read MoreHide Full Article
Large-cap funds are ideal investment options for those who seek high returns accompanied by lesser risk than small-cap and mid-cap funds. These funds have exposure to large-cap stocks with a long-term performance history, assuring more stability than what mid or small caps offer.
Additionally, 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.
Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund Investor Shares (VWUSX - Free Report) aims for long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests in large-capitalization stocks of U.S. companies, which according to the fund manager has above-average earnings growth potential and reasonable stock prices in comparison with expected earnings. VWUSX has returned 24.1% over the past three years.
As of the end of June 2020, VWUSX held 258 issues with 7.73% of its assets invested in Amazon.com Inc.
Principal Blue Chip Fund Class A (PBLAX - Free Report) aims for long-term growth of capital.
