Large-Cap is an abbreviation of the term "large market capitalization" and refers to the stock of publicly traded companies with market capitalization values of roughly more than $10 billion, like Walmart, Microsoft, and Ford. Because of their size, the conventional view is that these companies do not present investors with an ability to be opportunistic. The Large-Cap Portfolio + Website argues that, contrary to popular perceptions, significant opportunities exist in these stocks.
Written with a fluency that both the savvy amateur and professional investor will understand, the book fills a void in the market by offering the practitioner a methodology to identify and approach the major assumptions that underlie valuation, with an emphasis on issues that are more relevant to the analysis of large-cap stocks.

Editorial ReviewsFrom the Inside FlapPrevailing investment wisdom has declared active management of mid- to large-cap stocks a futile endeavor. Large-cap, or "large market capitalization," refers to the stocks of the largest, most highly valued companies in publicly traded securities markets. With market capitalization values of roughly more than $10 billion, these companies include many of the most recognized businesses in the world—from Walmart and Microsoft to General Electric and McDonald's.

From the Back Cover
praise for The Large-Cap Portfolio
"Tom Villalta has crafted a thoughtful must-read for anyone who's a stock picker, anyone looking to step up their game in investing returns, or even the casual reader interested in how markets work. The book not only offers insightful tips from a seasoned pro, but also a spirited defense of the passion for picking stocks in an age when many are content to let the machines take over investing."—Tiernan Ray, Senior Editor, Barron's magazine
"Most investors hold large-cap stocks in their portfolios but don't really understand why. In The Large-Cap Portfolio, fund manager Thomas Villalta offers a clear explanation as to the importance of owning large-caps and why this asset class should not be taken for granted. He also offers a compelling case for actively managed strategies as opposed to indexes or 'closet-indexes.' All in all, it's an interesting, detailed look at an often overlooked sector of the market."—Gregg Greenberg, Mutual Funds Reporter, TheStreet.com
