# HDFC Mid Cap hits Rs 1 lakh crore AUM; experts say size not key 2026-08-09T10:02:57+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet HDFC Mid Cap Fund has crossed Rs 1 lakh crore in assets under management, becoming the fourth active mutual fund scheme to reach the milestone after Parag Parikh Flexi Cap, HDFC Flexi Cap and HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund. The feat has raised a question for investors: can a fund become too large to deliver strong returns? Experts say investors should not avoid a fund merely because of its size. Bharath Rathore of Anand Rathi Wealth noted that large-cap funds of similar AUM have delivered very different outcomes, with ICICI Prudential Large Cap outperforming despite being the biggest. Sriram BKR of Geojit Financial Services cautioned that size can hurt in less liquid segments. Both advise assessing risk-adjusted returns, consistency and portfolio quality over AUM. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: AUM, fund performance, HDFC Mid Cap, investing, mutual funds Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/hdfc-mid-cap-hits-rs-1-lakh-crore-aum-experts-say-size-not-key/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
