→ Sensex headed for 1 lakh over the next 12-24 months
→ Nifty trading at historical average valuations (could go higher) while the Mid and Small Cap indices are trading way higher
→ Gold continues to be attractive as an asset class for the next 12 – 24 months
→ The Nifty Small Cap, Nasdaq and Nifty 50 have been the best performers over the past 20 years while China has been one of the worst
→ Household saving into eq should cross 10% by 2030 which will keep the domestic liquidity very strong
→ Big Risks - Major domestic political uncertainties, major credit defaults (domestic or globally) creating a cascading impact, escalating geopolitical tensions making oil go much beyond 110 and stay there
→ Existing Investors – stay invested as per your risk profile, rebalance mid and small caps to the target levels (lower in most cases)
→ New Investors – Deploy 50% immediately and rest 50% over a 3m (Large Caps) and 6m (Small and Mid Caps) of your desired allocation
