Large-cap growth funds have recently delivered strong returns, with an average gain of 16.77% over the past year and standout performances from Fidelity, Vanguard, and Loomis Sayles offerings. 

Fidelity Advisor New Insights and Contrafund, managed by veteran Will Danoff, ranked among the top five funds, with returns exceeding 18% annually over the past five years. Loomis Sayles Growth Fund posted the highest three- and five-year gains, driven by a disciplined process and long-term investment strategy. 

Vanguard’s Growth Index and Mega Cap Growth Index funds also performed well, offering low-cost, passive exposure to top-performing large-cap growth stocks. Despite their success, these funds come with risks like high concentration in mega-cap stocks and share class accessibility issues for individual investors. 

Finsum: As interest rates remain high that could provide a relative advantage to large caps over small caps.
