Large & Mid Cap is a new category defined in recent SEBI guideline. There was no formal or informal category by this name before. In this category fund house invest in both large cap and mid cap as per specific percentage described by SEBI.

Whereas Multi-Cap is an old category where fund manager has complete freedom to allocate funds in stocks across market capitalisations.

Many large and good performing funds have categorized themselves into this category such as Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund (which was mostly tagged in mid cap before), Reliance Vision Fund (which was tagged as Large Cap before) etc.
