Sensex-Nifty Record High: Market Rally Explained , Why Your Portfolio Is Still in Loss? , Money Live

Sensex and Nifty are at record highs, but despite this, the portfolios of most retail and HNI investors are not looking in the green. In the last one year, 464 out of 750 stocks of Nifty have been in decline and many smallcap and midcap stocks have given negative returns of more than twenty percent. On the other hand, due to strong cash flows, foreign buying and balance-sheet strength, large caps have kept the index afloat. Most of the exposure of retail investors is in small and mid caps, where margin pressure, valuation gap and earnings weakness have increased losses. For this reason, many portfolios are in decline even when the broader market is up. However, going forward, small caps may also gain strength due to GST rate cuts, infrastructure growth and consumption recovery. This video explains why the indices are up, your portfolio is down and why disciplined, fundamentals-based stock selection is important in such an environment.
