In our last blog
post we mentioned that Indian Indices are likely to relatively outperform the
global indices and also shared some trading/ investing ideas to leverage this opportunity
with lower risks
Here is a quick
recap of the potential options to capture this opportunity versus the global indices:
1.
Global futures specially Dow jones
and FTSE are traded in NSE and can be used as a pair trading opportunity with
our index( that is short in Dow Jones and Long in NIFTY)
2.
Similarly there are mutual funds
which offer investing opportunities both in global markets and NIFTY ETF. If
one is long on the former it may be a good time to switch into NIFTY ETF’s
3.
For those who want to stay to our
markets, one can bet on relative upside and start picking stocks in a mixed
manner. By mixed I mean pick up partly sectoral stocks that have outperformed
since 2010 and pick up sectoral stocks that have performed mildly or
underperformed since then

We received many feedback
on this and expectedly lot of you want to try out option 3 ( that is keeping
investment positions in the indian equity markets with a mix of opportunities
To take it from
there we present here a comparative analysis of the various sectoral indices
within Nifty.
NIFTY Sectoral Indices- Comparative Analysis |
We have considered
the following indices:
·
BANKNIFTY
(NSE BANK)
·
CNXIT ( IT
Stock indices)
·
CNX100 ( Top
100 CNX stocks)
·
MIDCAP Index
(CRSMID)
The graph below
presents how the indices have done against each other since the highs of 2010
was made.
It is clearly
divided into three sections:
·
Outperformance:
CNXIT
·
Flat
performance: CNX100 & NIFTY
·
Underperformance:
CNXMIDCAP & NSEBANK
Potential strategies
in equity investments:
1. Balanced Traders can Keep a mix of stocks especially
from the top 2, that is CNXIT,CNX100 and NSEBANK. This way in case of a
downward consolidation CNXIT stocks will ensure that the portfolio selection
does better overall and in case of outperformance BANKING stocks may outperform
the benchmark index
2. Selective stock picking of not more than 10-20%
from the mid cap sector. Look out for midcap banking stocks.
3. Aggressive traders/investors can look at stock
picking exclusively from NSEBANK & CNX100
