3 Top-Ranked Large-Cap Blend Mutual Funds to Buy for Stellar Returns
Read MoreHide Full Article
Large-cap blend mutual funds seek to offer value appreciation through capital gains with relatively less volatility by investing in both value and growth stocks. Blend funds, which are also known as “hybrid funds,” owe their origin to a graphical representation of a fund’s equity style box.
In addition to diversification, blend funds are great picks for investors looking for a mix of growth and value investment. Meanwhile, significant exposure to large-cap stocks makes these blend funds a safer option for risk-averse investors when compared to small-cap and mid-cap funds. Also, these funds are believed to provide long-term performance history and assure more stability than what mid-caps or small-caps offer.
Fidelity Advisor Growth Opps fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies the adviser believes have above-average growth potential, including domestic and foreign issuers.
Fidelity Advisor Growth Opps has three-year annualized returns of 31.1%. As of the end of May 2026, FAGOX had 159 issues and invested 13.9% of its net assets in NVIDIA.
BlackRock Advantage Large Cap Core Inv fund invests its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in large-cap equity securities and derivatives with similar economic characteristics, with large cap defined by the market-cap range of the Russell 1000 Index.
BlackRock Advantage Large Cap Core Inv has three-year annualized returns of 25.5%. MDLRX has an expense ratio of 0.73%.
Meehan Focus fund invests in common stocks of companies with potential for significant growth over at least a three-year period.
Meehan Focus has three-year annualized returns of 25.5%. Paul P. Meehan has been one of the fund managers of MEFOX since January 2005.
