Over 3 years the fund returned 9.6% a year, against 9.3% for similar funds, and over 5 years 9.1% a year, against 7.5%. Its yearly fee is 1.01%, the same as the 1.01% for similar funds. Over the last 3 years it has kept ahead of similar funds in every 3-year stretch, and it has finished in the better half of its group in each of the last 5 calendar years. Keep in mind that over the past year it returned -11.1%, against -9.0% for similar funds, and it fell somewhat less than the market in bad months, though not by much. The lead manager has been in place since January 2021. #### Pros - Ahead of the peer median in 100.0% of rolling 3-year periods (weekly, last 3 years) - 5-year return (a year) 9.1% vs peer median 7.5% - Ahead of the peer median in 75.8% of rolling 1-year periods (weekly, last 3 years) #### Cons - 1-year return -11.1% vs peer median -9.0% ### SBI Large Cap Fund Rank 14 of 27, managed by Saurabh Pant (lead since Apr 2024) (Steady) Middle of the pack: ranks 14 of 27 in Large-Cap. #### Pros - Downside capture (3Y) 85 vs peer median 94 #### Cons - Ahead of the peer median in 7.3% of rolling 3-year periods (weekly, last 3 years) See where they stand among all large cap funds: [Best Large Cap Funds](https://foliyo.ai/mutual-funds/best-large-cap-funds/). ## How Foliyo’s research ranks funds Every month Foliyo’s Research Desk reviews each Indian mutual fund with at least ₹500 Cr under management (1,035 funds in the review of 23 October 2026), through its Direct Growth plan, and ranks it against the other funds in its category. No fund house pays us, and we earn no commission, so the ranking has no reason to favour anyone. For equity funds the ranking weighs: - **Performance (35%):** 3, 5 and 1-year returns, and where the fund stands among all funds in its category over 3 and 5 years. - **Consistency (25%):** how often the fund was ahead of its peers over rolling 1 and 3-year periods, and in how many calendar years it finished in the top half. - **Risk (25%):** return per unit of risk (Sharpe and Sortino ratios), how much of the market’s falls it took (downside capture), its worst fall and its volatility. - **Cost (10%) and stability (5%):** the expense ratio, and how long the lead manager has run the fund. Where a fund stands sets its label: **Leader** (the strongest in the category), **Strong**, **Steady** and **Laggard** (behind most of its peers). A fund under 3 years old is never judged on a full record: its first year is compared with every peer’s last year (1-year return 25%, steadiness against peers 15%, Sharpe ratio 15%, worst fall 10%, downside capture 10%, cost 15%), and it is labelled **Emerging** when that start is among the strongest, or **Too early** otherwise. Red flags are set by rule, never by opinion: a new lead manager, a portfolio that strays from the category’s mandate, high cash, high cost or a concentrated portfolio. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which is better, ICICI Prudential Large Cap Fund or SBI Large Cap Fund?
