Sectoral Rotation Drives Divergent Performance in Indian Large-Cap and Sectoral Funds
Over the past two years, sectoral rotation has led to the underperformance of large-cap stocks in India, while sectors like defense, metals, and PSU banks delivered strong returns. Large- and mid-cap valuations have corrected significantly from their 2024 peaks, with large-caps down 29% and mid-caps 27%, whereas small-caps saw only a 4% correction. Divergent earnings growth and valuation changes across sectors influenced mutual fund returns, highlighting the impact of sector-specific factors amid broader market consolidation and global uncertainties.
