Smart money move: Why Groww MF's equity chief is betting on multicap strategies

While warning about the risk of a looming oil shock, Groww Mutual Fund’s equity chief, CA Anupam Tiwari, says multicap strategy together with bottom-up investing can work well in this market.Although there might be valuation concerns in some specific areas, the overall investment environment for active stock picking in mid and small caps has improved to some extent, he says in an interview with ET Markets.Edited excerpts from a chat:Markets have recovered from recent corrections despite geopolitical tensions. What is the market pricing that investors may be underestimating?Markets are showing signs of recovery from the fall due to the prospects of de-escalation and continued talks regarding the resolution of the Middle East crisis. Nevertheless, one possible threat that investors might be overlooking is the possibility of prolonged geopolitical instability that can cause oil prices to remain elevated for an extended period.Sustained higher energy prices could have broader implications for inflation, currency stability, corporate profitability, and economic growth. While markets appear to be pricing in a relatively benign outcome, any disruption that results in persistently elevated crude prices could have a more meaningful impact on the macroeconomic environment than is currently reflected in markets.With valuations still elevated in parts of the market, how should investors think about allocating money across large-, mid- and small-cap stocks today?Broad concerns regarding valuation levels in the market have cooled off in recent months. At the current juncture, close to one-third of the mid-cap space is priced below its five-year average valuation levels, whereas nearly half of the small-cap space is trading below its own five-year average valuation levels.Under these circumstances, although there might be valuation concerns in some specific areas, the overall investment environment for active stock picking in mid and small caps has improved to some extent. Here, a multicap strategy together with bottom-up investing can work well in uncovering better businesses.The multicap category has seen rising investor interest. What advantages does a multicap strategy offer in the current market environment compared to pure large-cap or mid-cap approaches?While the current phase is marked by heightened volatility, volatility is often uneven across segments. In such an environment, a multicap strategy may provide disciplined exposure across market caps within a single portfolio.This allows investors the relative stability and earnings visibility of larger companies, while also participating in the long-term growth potential of mid- and small-cap businesses. By maintaining exposure across segments, a multicap approach can help reduce over-reliance on any single category and provide a more balanced way to navigate changing market conditions.One of the key benefits of a multicap strategy is that it removes the burden of market-cap allocation from investors. Determining when to allocate across segments can be challenging, particularly as market leadership often shifts across cycles. A multicap strategy addresses this by embedding this decision within a disciplined investment framework, freeing investors from having to make often difficult and timing-sensitive allocation calls.From a long-term perspective, multicap funds can serve as a core equity allocation for investors, enabling investors to participate in India's growth story through a combination of established market leaders and emerging businesses.Many retail investors continue to favour mid- and small-caps despite recent volatility. Is the risk-reward equation still attractive in these segments?While mid- and small-cap stocks are generally more exposed during periods of market volatility, the opportunity set within these segments has improved as valuations have moderated across several pockets of the market while business fundamentals have remained intact and even improved in several pockets.Rather than looking at mid and small caps as segments, investors should focus on a disciplined investment framework. Selective opportunities continue to exist despite volatility, making active stock selection increasingly important in determining outcomes.Which sectors currently offer the strongest earnings visibility, and where are you finding opportunities despite market volatility?We continue to focus on sectors where earnings visibility remains relatively strong despite broader market volatility. Financials remain a key area of interest, supported by reasonable valuations, stable asset quality, improving credit growth, and a favorable funding environment, particularly within select NBFCs and mid-sized financial institutions.Within industrials, we remain constructive on themes such as power transmission & distribution, renewable energy, and defence, where order books remain healthy and policy support continues to drive long-term demand. In the auto space, we continue to see opportunities linked to premium consumption trends, EV adoption, and select auto-component manufacturers benefiting from structural drivers such as exports, and regulatory and policy changes.We are also positive on specialty chemicals, particularly businesses with strong contract manufacturing franchises, niche product portfolios, and long-term customer relationships. If you had to allocate fresh money today, which market-cap segment would receive the highest allocation and why?Our equity investment philosophy, QGaRP (Quality and Growth at a Reasonable Price), is market-cap agnostic and driven primarily by stock selection rather than segment-level calls. We seek to invest in businesses that combine high quality management, growth potential, and valuation comfort.That said, our multicap strategy has historically maintained a growth-oriented tilt towards mid- and small-cap companies. With valuations having moderated across several pockets of the mid- and small-cap universe, we believe the environment has become more conducive in these segments for active stock selection.As a result, while we continue to maintain a diversified allocation across market caps, we remain constructive on selectively identifying opportunities within the mid- and small-cap space where fundamentals, growth prospects, and valuations are aligned with our philosophy.

Ahead of Market: 10 things that will decide D-Street action on Monday

Indian benchmark indices witnessed a volatile session on Friday, June 5 and closed marginally lower as investors reacted to the RBI monetary policy outcome and continued FII selling. The central bank kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and maintained its neutral policy stance, while raising its inflation forecast and lowering GDP growth projections, which kept market sentiment cautious throughout the session.Here's how analysts read the market pulse:"While the broader index trend remains weak, mixed performance among heavyweight stocks is limiting the pace of decline. In this backdrop, we maintain a cautious stance and prefer a sell-on-rise approach until the Nifty decisively reclaims the 23,700 level. At the same time, traders should focus on stock-specific opportunities across sectors and maintain balanced positions with disciplined overnight risk management," said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research, Religare Broking.US marketsThe US stock market had its worst day since October on Friday as a sell-off in big technology companies weighed on the broader market and a strong jobs report boosted expectations that the Federal Reserve may be forced to hike interest rates at some point this year.The S&P 500 sank 2.6%, its biggest one-day drop since October 10, when the Trump administration threatened to impose a 100% tariff on imported goods from China. The losses pushed the benchmark index to its first losing week in the last 10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite slumped 4.2%.European marketsEuropean shares ended the week lower, as uncertainty over Middle East peace efforts kept investors on edge and technology stocks paused after a blistering two-month rally.The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.3% to 622.66 points and lost 0.5% for the week. Hopes for a breakthrough between the US and Iran appeared limited after the two countries exchanged strikes earlier in the week, while a US-brokered Israel-Lebanon ceasefire also looked fragile after Hezbollah rejected the pact. The resulting spike in energy costs has complicated the inflation outlook. Data this week showed euro zone inflation accelerated in May, prompting markets to price in a 25-basis-point interest rate hike from the European Central Bank.Tech ViewGoing ahead, the index is likely to consolidate in the 23,000-23,550 range in the coming week. Only a move above Tuesday’s high of 23,556 will open the upside towards the 23,750–23,800 resistance zone in the coming sessions.Most active stocks in terms of turnoverBSE (Rs 2,633 crore), ZEE (Rs 2,547 crore), RIL (Rs 2,303 crore), SBI (Rs 2,057 crore), Adani Enterprises (Rs 2,057 crore), HDFC Bank (Rs 1,660 crore) and Himadri Speciality (Rs 1,625 crore) were among the most active stocks on BSE in value terms.
