    SBI Large & mid cap mutual fund review: Can it be counted among top picks in its category?

    Synopsis

    Within the mid-cap arena, it chases absolute returns with a pure bottom-up approach. Its sizeable small-cap presence, compared to peers, is an outcome of this approach than design. After a stretch of weak performance (2018-20), the fund put in a strong show last year.

    Should you buy?
    From a market-cap agnostic multi-cap offering (SBI Magnum Multiplier), it morphed into a large- & mid-cap fund in 2018. Under its revised mandate, the fund runs the two core buckets distinctly. In its large-cap portfolio, it remains benchmark conscious and plays a momentum strategy. Within the mid-cap arena, it chases absolute returns with a pure bottom-up approach. Its sizeable small-cap presence, compared to peers, is an outcome of this approach than design. After a stretch of weak performance (2018-20), the fund put in a strong show last year. The fund needs to show consistency in delivering outperformance in its new avatar to be counted among the top picks in its category.
