Midcaps continue to remain at disadvantage at this point of time and I would advise to stick to large caps, Ajay Srivastava of Dimensions Corporate Finance told BloombergQuint.

Key highlights of the conversation:

The feeling entering Samvat 2075 is a little somber.
Not planning into an entire year, only uptil elections.
Global events have impacted us substantially and domestic markets is saturated with retail participants.
Looking into new Samvat with the retail investors saturated with investments which have done okay or not okay depending on when they entered the market.
Challenge for today is that we won’t see the same bullishness in supply of capital, as we did last year.
Stick to the large-cap stocks
Use the revival of mid-caps stocks to exit out.
Do not get tempted by mid-caps stocks, they are a trap.
Now is the time to take concentrated portfolio bets, maximum 10-12 stocks.
Elections do wonderfully for few industries and we should stick to those.

Markets are adjusting to lower level of fund flows and correction is done for markets and economy is set to grow, Raamdeo Agrawal of Motilal Oswal told BloombergQuint in an interview.

Key highlights of the conversation:

Banking system usually grows two times the economy growth rate and with few private players to cater this kind of growth liquidity crunch is bound to happen
NBFCs are good asset franchise, but weak liability franchise
With weak NBFCs, opportunity for larger private sector banks is high
Large asset base and wider presence give large private sector banks an edge over others
After 10 years, serious capex cycle in India has begun
As India is coming out of capex slump, construction and infrastructure companies will tend to benefit
Real estate sector is still in pain; customers are happy, but the builder community is in pain
