Be Cautious on Small and Mid cap stocks :
Nifty Small cap 250 has risen by whopping 69% in 1 yr compared to 27% in Nifty50 . This enforces that we need to move with caution while investing in small cap funds.
Small and midcap stocks have shown strong earnings growth momentum and high quality of earnings growth. However, the current valuations are stretched. This means they are in an expensive zone
More importantly there is empirical evidence that suggests that after 3 years of rally in small caps the index has corrected meaningfully in the 4th year and returns in the 4th to 6th year have been flattish.
Small cap and midcap AUM (asset under management) % to large cap schemes in last 6 months have grown so big that a bubble in small cap space is being created
Surprisingly retail ownership in small cap companies have surpassed institutional ownership in many mid and small cap companies which is not a great sign at all.
Do not invest more than 20-25% of asset allocation in Small and Mid cap stocks/ fund
PREFER COMPANIES THAT HAVE Large opportunity; scalable businesses, sustainable moats , superior ROEs (over long period) ,quality of management – passion, leadership.
Historically, in the Indian markets, a combination of healthy ROE and high earnings growth has resulted in superior price performance
Avoid Companies with Corporate governance issues , high sensitivity to changing regulations, highly cyclical industry, capital misallocation.
