These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 31%
This is an undeniable fact. Most investors who have Rs. 1 lakh to invest would prefer to buy 5,000 shares of a small-cap company rather than put the same amount in Reliance and own just 73 shares.

Some of them may indeed do well. Though many may not. The greater probability, however, is that, in the long term and from current levels, large-caps like RIL and LT may give higher returns and see less drawdown in volatile markets.
