What we know today as large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks are, actually, classified by the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI). AMFI is a body that oversees the work of the mutual fund industry and ensures that they follow the rules specified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
AMFI also classifies companies based on their market capitalisation. The stocks are classified as follows –
- Large-cap stocks – the first 100 stocks in AMFI’s list having the highest market capitalisation
- Mid-cap stocks – stocks numbered between 101 and 250 on the list
- Small-cap stocks – stocks which are numbered 251 and above
Based on this classification, mutual funds allocate their portfolios. For instance, large-cap funds invest in large-cap stocks which are classified by AMFI.
