As geopolitical headwinds make it tougher for equity investors to make money, Dalal Streetโs top voice Nilesh Shah, managing director of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management, told a gathering of HNI investors at the ET Alpha Wealth Summit on Thursday that there are four specific investment structures which deserve a place in most portfolios right now.Shahโs first recommendation was the Special Investment Fund, or SIF, a structure that marks a meaningful shift in what is available to Indian investors. Shah noted that the mutual fund industry has, until now, been a long-only business but the SIF changes that. These are long-short, absolute return-oriented funds, designed to generate returns regardless of market direction rather than simply riding the equity tide.The second vehicle Shah flagged is performing credit AIFs. His reasoning was grounded in a simple supply-demand observation that for corporate settlements today, capital is not available from banks, mutual funds, or insurance companies.As institutional lenders have stepped back, borrowers are plenty and lenders very few. Amid this imbalance, Shah said the need is real and returns are attractive. Performing credit AIFs, which lend into this gap, are positioned to benefit directly from the scarcity of competing capital.https://youtube.com/shorts/Xa4AcXFg8hA?feature=shareThe third idea was REITs, and here Shah introduced a timing element. Over the last three years, REITs have delivered index-level returns of around 13.5%. But with interest rates rising, he suggested that the next six to nine months may present an opportunity to enter at better prices. Rising rates typically compress REIT valuations in the near term, and Shah framed any such correction as a potential entry point rather than a risk to avoid. Beyond the return potential, he positioned REITs as a portfolio diversification tool as the asset class behaves differently from equities and fixed income, and that is still underrepresented in most Indian investor portfolios.The fourth recommendation addressed global diversification but came with an important caveat. Mutual fund industry limits for overseas investment are currently full, which means the conventional route for Indian investors to access global markets through domestic mutual funds is closed. Shah pointed to Gift City as the workaround. Structures domiciled there allow investment under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and in his view, these Gift City-based LRS products are the practical path for investors who want global exposure while the mutual fund window remains shut.Across all four โ the SIF, performing credit AIFs, REITs, and Gift City products โ Shah's underlying argument was the same: in a volatile period, the portfolio needs instruments that can generate positive returns through means other than a rising equity market.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own.

Mumbai: With a market capitalisation of over $5 trillion, South Korea has become the sixth largest equity market in the world, replacing India which has a market cap of $4.8 trillion, according to the data from Bloomberg.Earlier, in the last week of May, Taiwan had jumped ahead of India after crossing $5 trillion in market cap.131473576The two Asian markets are in a bull phase, helped by record financial performance from semiconductor manufacturers amid booming demand from the artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem. South Korean equities have gained 88% in 2026 so far while Taiwan has expanded market cap by 58%. India's market cap, on the other hand, has fallen by over 8% since the beginning of the current calendar year, impacted by heavy selling from foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) amid geopolitical uncertainties in West Asia. They have sold equities worth $24 billion (โน2.2 lakh crore) in the first five months of 2026 compared with $18.9 billion (โน1.7 lakh crore) in the whole of 2025.Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, South Korea's two largest companies by market cap, have led the current rally in local equity markets with a year-to-date gain of 182% and 231% on bourses. The Asian semiconductor companies are benefitting from the rising AI capital expenditure since memory chips are a part of the building blocks of the technology.

Dell's shares surged 33% on Friday as the PC maker's blockbuster results showed that โits growing focus on AI servers was โhelping it capitalize on the data center boom, making the company one of โthe biggest beneficiaries of the new technology.The company, whose AI servers are crucial components in the global AI infrastructure build-out, is set to add $68 billion to its market value of about $206 billion, if gains hold.A household name in the โPC market, Dell โ has in โ recent years scaled up its AI hardware business. Dell's AI server revenue of $16.1 billion surpassed its PC unit's $14.6 billion in โsales in the quarter.The company's infrastructure solutions segment, home to both traditional and AI-optimized servers as well as other storage, software โand networking solutions, has consistently eclipsed PC business revenue in the past four quarters."We've been following Dell a long time and never seen anything like this. Not only do they get an "A" for โexecution, but you can make an argument that Dell is even โ the best โway to play AI out there," Melius Research analysts said.Dell's outlook for "AI and โtraditional servers are โstill very conservative," as the firm has stronger prospects for selling CPU racks to โ AI cloud providers like CoreWeave and Nscale, the brokerage said.The blowout โquarter lifted shares of server makers Super Micro Computer and Hewlett Packard โEnterprise 16% and 12%, respectively, while Dell's PC rival HP also rose 8%.Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which reports results on Monday, has also been prioritizing higher-margin product orders. But it has a smaller server business compared with Dell.Dell Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke acknowledged the ongoing "supply constrained" environment, particularly concerning memory chips, but said that its customers were actively securing supply for extended periods.The company has banked on balanced price โhikes as well as its scale and strong supplier relationships to wade through the memory crisis. Strong returns from its AI server business are also helping cushion the blow โto margins โfrom the soaring memory prices.HP, which โ focuses mostly on PCs and printers, reported 13.2% growth in its personal systemsdivision, while sales in Dell's PC business unit grew 17%, driven by a Windows 11 refresh cycle and growing focus on AI โPCs.At least 13 brokerages raised their price targets on Dell stock following the results, giving it a median price target of $255, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Shares of Netweb Technologies surged over 15% on Friday to hit their fresh 52-week high of Rs 4,680 on the NSE amid high volumes. The stock extended its gaining streak for the third session in a row, rising 21% in this period.The rally comes on the back of a ratings upgrade by CRISIL Ratings Limited. The company's Long-term rating has been upgraded to 'Crisil A+ / Stable'; while short-term rating reaffirmed to Crisil A1. Netweb offers computing solutions with fully integrated design and manufacturing capabilities. Its HCS offering comprises HPC, Private cloud and (HCI), AI systems and enterprise workstations, High performance storage (HPS) and Data Centre ServersCrisil Ratings believes NTIL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and established relationships with clients.The rating agency has also listed a slew of factors that will likely aid its growth. Among them are sustained revenue growth to over Rs 4,000 crore, with diversification across the end users earning steady operating margin at 13-14%, leading to higher-than-expected net cash accruals. Efficient working capital management leading to moderate dependence on debt and sustenance of healthy financial risk profile and liquidity will be another trigger according to CRISIL.It has also highlighted caveats that include the likelihood of decline in revenue below Rs 2,000 crores or fall in operating margin to below 11%, could lead to lower-than-expected net cash accrual. Meanwhile large, debt-funded capex or substantial increase in the working capital requirement, thus weakening the financial risk profile and liquidity.CRISIL shares have been market laggards, falling over 8% in 2026 while extending its decline to 24% over the past 12 months.Netweb Technologies reported Q4FY26 revenue from operations at Rs 774 crore, growing 87% year-on-year. Its operating EBITDA for Q4FY26 stood at Rs 97 crore while the adjusted operating EBITDA for Q4FY26 was Rs 102 crore, up 72% YoY, with a margin of 13.2%.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
