Kotak Notes Frequent Changes Limit Usefulness of Nifty Midcap 150 Index for Investment
Kotak Institutional Equities highlights that frequent changes in the Nifty Midcap 150 index's composition limit its usefulness for investment analysis. Only 46 stocks remained consistent between FY22 and mid-FY27, while 275 unique stocks appeared over FY22-FY26. The index's mechanical construction and limited size cause sector concentration and volatility, with a few sectors or stocks disproportionately influencing returns. This churn reduces the relevance of historical earnings and valuation comparisons for investors.
