Why small caps will continue to sizzle
Money Control
·
11m ago
Medial
The BSE Midcap and BSE SmallCap indices experienced significant losses on Monday, falling 3.6% and 4.21% respectively. However, market experts believe there are enough driving factors to suggest that mid-cap and small-cap stocks will continue to outperform larger stocks in the near future. The strong systematic investment plan (SIP) flow in schemes focused on mid-caps and small-caps is seen as a major driver in sustaining this rally. Despite concerns over valuations, the consistent SIP inflows are supporting these segments. Investors are advised to maintain realistic expectations and proper asset allocation.

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.

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.

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.

AU Small Finance Bank has submitted its application to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to transition from a small finance bank (SFB) to a universal bank. The move comes as AU Small Finance Bank is in the process of merging with Fincare SFB. The RBI had outlined specific guidelines for SFBs to convert into universal banks, including having a minimum net worth of Rs 1,000 crore and a satisfactory track record. The conversion to a universal bank will allow AU Small Finance Bank to overcome the geographical limitations and lending caps of being an SFB.

She advises investors to book profits and move to a steadier portfolio if they have invested in areas that have seen significant gains. Mehra also highlights the importance of playing conservatively and warns against the misconception that high risk guarantees high returns. She concludes by sharing data on the volatility and unpredictability of small caps and urging investors to be cautious in this segment.
