Who should invest in Large & Mid Cap funds?

Somebody who finds pure mid cap too sharp and pure large cap too slow. A sensible holding period is 7 years or more.

How is this list ordered?

By five-year CAGR computed from AMFI's published NAV history, within one plan type. It is a sort, not a verdict — a fund near the top is there because its style suited the last five years, which is not a promise about the next five.

Should I choose the Direct or Regular plan?

A Direct plan holds exactly the same portfolio without the distributor commission, so its expense ratio is lower — commonly 0.5% to 1.2% a year — and it compounds ahead of the Regular plan for ever. Choose Regular only if you want an intermediary's advice and are content to pay for it annually.
