Riding a Wave of Optimism, Small and Midcaps Outshine Large-caps in May

In May, small and mid-cap stocks outperformed large-caps, with Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices delivering stronger gains than the Nifty 50. Improved fundamentals, easing macro risks, and renewed investor interest contributed to this shift. Mid and small-caps are attracting attention due to cheaper price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratios compared to large caps. The rally extends across various sectors, supported by strong corporate earnings and easing global and domestic risks, suggesting improving market sentiment.

NFOs, lower redemptions trigger a near three-fold rise in flows in large-cap schemes

In August, large-cap mutual fund schemes in India saw a nearly three-fold increase in net flows, reaching Rs 2,637 crore. This surge was attributed to new fund offers (NFOs) and reduced redemptions. Despite this growth, retail investors continue to favor mid- and small-cap funds. Experts believe that the increase in inflows reflects a shift among investors toward reducing risk by increasing exposure to large-caps. However, challenges remain, including the potential risk of large-caps being sold by foreign investors during global market corrections.

Equirus Flags Valuation Risks, Backs Large Caps and Rural Demand

Equirus Securities' report forecasts large caps leading India's equity market by 2025, fueled by rural demand resurgence. Overweight sectors include auto, cement, and FMCG, benefiting from rising rural incomes and favorable monsoons, indicating improved purchasing power. While small caps pose valuation risks, mid-caps offer visibility in growth areas. Domestic investors, bolstered by strong SIP inflows, play a crucial role, stabilizing demand. Monetary policy supports returns, and public capex remains robust despite some global uncertainties.

Sensex, Nifty log weekly gains on ceasefire with Pakistan, US deal hopes

Nifty rose by 4.21%, and BSE Sensex increased by 3.62%, although both fell by 0.2% daily due to IT stock pullbacks. Market optimism was driven by easing military tensions, promising India-U.S. trade negotiations, and declining domestic inflation. Broader markets, led by small-caps and mid-caps, recorded significant advances, indicating positive market trends ahead.

Daily Voice: US elections not a major factor for Indian stocks, says TRUST MF's Mihir Vora

Mihir Vora, CIO of TRUST Mutual Fund, believes that US elections are not significant for Indian stocks. He predicts potential earnings downgrades in banks, metals, oil and gas, FMCG, and some large-cap IT stocks for Q2FY25. Vora suggests that the options for high-growth segments are predominantly in small-caps or mid-caps, and there is still ample scope for stockpicking in small-caps. He states that small-cap stocks offer growth-adjusted valuations that are not expensive and are well-suited to TRUST Mutual Fund's philosophy of 'Terminal Value Investing'. Vora also identifies undervalued sectors for investment, such as banks, NBFC, chemicals, defence, auto and ancillaries, and asset management. He believes that India remains a buy-on-dips market and the US elections have minimal impact on Indian stocks.

Markets in resting phase, be watchful of correction in momentum stocks: Samco's Umeshkumar Mehta

Investors are withdrawing funds from secondary equities markets as several momentum stocks show "sell" signals. Umeshkumar Mehta, CIO of Samco Mutual Fund advises caution with stocks that have seen recent significant increases, as they may experience sharp corrections. Mehta believes the market is currently in a resting phase before the elections and warns that corrections may last longer and go deeper, posing risk. Opportunities lie in large caps, particularly in the oil and pharmaceutical sectors, while correction is also underway in small- and mid-cap indexes. Defence stocks are on an upward trend but may slow due to government contract limitations.

The pros, cons, and key takeaway of the first passive fund in flexicap category

The Nifty 500 Flexicap Quality 30 Index Fund tracks an index combining momentum and quality filters, addressing gaps in typical flexicap fund allocations, which often favor large-cap stocks. Initially designed for diversification across large, mid, and small caps, flexicap funds tend to be large-cap centric. A rule-based flexicap fund can bridge this gap. Investors need to assess whether such a fund aligns with their investment strategy before investing.
