Outline
1. Market snapshot
After softness for the last 2 weeks, this week market saw some optimism. Real estate was the top gainer this week i.e. up 9% and it has also performed well in the last 3 years, 1 year and 1-month horizons.
IT has been the best performing sector in last 2 years i.e. gained 120%. In last week, Industrials, Consumer discretionary & Telecom were up by 4.1%, 3.4% and 2.5% respectively. The only sector which lost was Energy/Oil & gas by 2.3%.
A very interesting observation from the above chart: if we look at the 3-year horizon microcap’s returns were -3% which has been 70% in the last 1 year.
2. Breaking Investment Stereotypes with Nilesh Shah
This week on our another episode of “Breaking Investment stereotypes” we hosted a podcast with Nilesh Shah (Managing director of Kotak Mahindra AMC).
Many crucial topics are discussed here like whether the markets are in a bubble, corrections in small-cap stocks wherein it was explained how “Low float is a moat for existing investors and not for the new ones”. Current markets were also compared with the 2003-08 period, discussed the current situation of the automobile sector and sectors which are well poised to play out this capex cycle.
We recommend you to watch the podcast here or listen here.
