“Indian Large Caps often mirror mid and small caps in the Global context, presenting a growth canvas for savvy investors. Today, Indian Large Caps boast the apex of quality with soaring RoE, robust PAT, and impressive Sales figures. Furthermore, their valuations stand at a modest with trailing PE at 21.9, unveiling an ideal blend of quality and growth potential,” said Atul Mehra of Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund.
The AMC has recently launched NFO of Motilal Oswal Large Cap Fund, which is open for subscription till January 31.
When seen against small and midcap stocks, largecaps have historically had lowering drawdowns and have recovered faster. While Nifty 100 companies have gained share in overall Revenue and PAT of listed universe, the overall share in market cap has fallen from 72.3% in 2018 to 64% currently.
Given the improving macro strength of India, FIIs are also expected to bring in more flows. Historically, a significant portion of FII allocation gravitates towards largecaps. With India’s weight in EM indices at an all-time high, passive /active flows into EM funds could in turn drive significant foreign buying, Motilal said. Mutual funds have also seen outflows in largecaps, which may be about to change.
