Imagine a mutual fund that hasn't given you a single negative calendar year in the last decade.
Not 2018's correction.
Not 2020's COVID crash.
Not 2022's global rate shock.
Zero red years in 10.
That's the story of the Edelweiss Large Cap Fund, run under Radhika Gupta's Edelweiss Mutual Fund.
Over the last 10 calendar years:
No year in the red. Not one.
That's not luck. That's design.
The fund doesn't chase fireworks.
It runs a factor-based, process-driven playbook — quietly engineered to avoid blow-ups.
Three ingredients do the heavy lifting:
Bhavesh Jain, Co-Head of Factor Investing at Edelweiss, calls it "stability across market cycles."
The data agrees.
A ₹10,000 monthly SIP started at launch?
👉 Worth ₹65.73 lakh today. XIRR of 12.40%.
A ₹1 lakh lumpsum at inception?
👉 Now ₹8.17 lakh. CAGR of 13.07%.
Not the loudest fund in the room.
But compounding doesn't need to shout.
Here's the catch — the fund hasn't been beating its benchmark in the short run.
It wins the marathon, not every sprint.
And in a year where mid and small caps got bruised, that defensive DNA suddenly looks very attractive again.
With Nifty at a reasonable 21x PE and large caps trading near long-term averages, the boring giants are quietly back in fashion.
Midcaps and smallcaps? Still expensive.
Large caps? Better risk-reward.
And a fund that has never lost money in a calendar year for a decade…
suddenly feels less like a fund.
More like a seatbelt for your portfolio.
That's all for now!
