Conclusion:
Though the recent performance in mid cap funds has been outstanding in line with overall equities market withthe S&P BSE Mid Cap index delivering the second best returns on a year to date basis, investors can simply not be bogged down by impressive returns. They need to understand and be mindful that experts currently are advising caution when investing in such funds as the broader markets have seen a sharp rally of late.
"Macro-economic shocks over the last few years like demonetization, hastily implemented GST, IL&FS crisis & Covid-19 induced lockdowns have helped the large companies become larger and stronger, supported by scale and balance sheet strength. The smaller companies, however, have weakened and lost market share. Against this backdrop, when Covid-19 related uncertainty still lingers on, midcap valuations are close to all-time highs. We believe the markets are opting to ignore the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, but this could quickly reverse if global liquidity dries up or we encounter a Covid-19 third wave. We would advise the investor to tread with caution in the midcap & small-cap space," said Sorbh Gupta, Fund Manager- Equity, Quantum AMC.
But definitely with a longer investment horizon of more than 3-years you can add these mid-cap funds to your kitty to generate a higher return over the investment term but at the same time be prepared for any moderate losses.
