Key Insights (Source: Alpha Strategist - February 2025, Motilal Oswal Wealth Ltd.)
1. Why 75% of Mid & Small Cap Stocks Have Fallen 20%+ from All-Time Highs
Mid and Small Cap segments have faced significant corrections, with nearly 75% of stocks down over 20% from their highs.
The Alpha Strategist report highlights that these corrections are part of a market cycle and often provide long-term investment opportunities.
“Historically, such corrections have led to strong rebounds, making this a favorable time for strategic accumulation,” the report notes.
2. Tactical Accumulation Strategies for Long-Term Investors
Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) help investors average out costs during market volatility.
Contrarian investing—buying fundamentally strong stocks during corrections—has historically yielded higher long-term returns.
The report states, “Investors who follow a disciplined accumulation strategy in weak markets tend to outperform over multiple cycles.”
3. Best Approaches for Hybrid, Large Cap, Flexi Cap, and Mid-Small Cap Investments
Hybrid Funds: Combining equity and debt to balance risk.
Large Caps: Defensive plays for stability during volatility.
Flexi Cap & Mid-Small Caps: For investors willing to take calculated risks in select sectors.
The report recommends gradual accumulation rather than lump-sum investing in volatile conditions.
Investment Strategy (Based on the Report’s Recommendations):
* Stick to Asset Allocation: Maintain a diversified portfolio across equity, debt, and alternative investments.
* Use Volatility to Your Advantage: Market downturns present long-term buying opportunities.
* Consider Hybrid & Large Cap Funds: Defensive investing to reduce risk during high volatility.
