Apart from FII flows, we have been witnessing good inflows from DIIs and rapid mobilisation of household savings that limits volatility, says Shreyas Devalkar of Axis MF.
We believe in a long-term approach to investing and accordingly hold selected positions in companies we believe will grow over a longer period of time. The mid and smallcap segments are well represented by the investment and exports sector, which includes chemicals, auto ancillary and manufacturing while the consumption theme has a broader representation in the large cap space.
It’s been a little over a year since a massive front-running scandal erupted at Axis Mutual Fund. The firm has since set its house in order and is now readying for a fresh innings.
“Broadly we should be somewhere around one-third, one-third in large and smallcap category and somewhere around 25-26% in midcap categories as of last month. Sector-wise, one should look at it more from the B2B versus B2C and so on. The financial services sector is high, 25% plus. Sectors in the B2B or manufacturing part of the economy are more in auto, auto accessories.”
