I do not know which is the best right now but here are a couple of observations. Large cap stocks have performed terribly for the last 6 years. They are about due for a recovery. The same with growth stocks. They have performed evern worse than large cap stocks. On the other hand small cap stocks and value stocks have performed really well. It might be time for a readjustment in stock valuations in favor of large cap and growth stocks.
China and India are running circles around the developed world. 10% growth versus 3% growth. TDF, JFC, GRR, FXI, PGJ for China. IIF for India also IFN but it is selling at a healthy premium.
There are so many option for investing in growth stocks and large cap stocks, I do not know exactly where to begin. Here are a couple of large cap offerings--GRE and JLE. Both are large cap and growth stock oriented. Both have so so records of return.
Even though small cap stocks have way outperformed large caps stocks, who is to say they will not continue to do so. Royce Funds offers many small cap fund offerings, all with excellent records. And there is the grand daddy of all small cap stock funds--Bruce Fund--with annual returns of better than 30% time after time.

Why are you asking at the last quarter of the year? Investment analysts (and salesmen) usually do their pitches at the start of the year, to be able to tell you that they foresee a strong ___ market by the end of the year.
This year it was emerging markets, such as Brazil, Eastern Europe, India and China (thus, what Templeton Investments calls their BRIC fund; R for Russia).
I think there's still room for this BRIC, although China is said to be slowing down next year, and all of them being already high at the moment.
I'm not making any recommendations though; if you have $100k, I'm sure your banker will be very happy to assist you. Just always ask what his commission rate is; if it's more than 1%, go look for someone else.

Mutual funds suck big time! They are hardly any better than bank cd's. You are better off with stock from an established firm that pays good dividends and is increasing in value. Stocks like AT&T.
