Lack of supply pressures have kept stocks at elevated levels, says Nilesh
Shah, MD and CEO, Axis Capital. He expects divestment to help investors create
new positions and feels short-term corrections are healthy for Indian market in
“the long-term”.
Shah, who prefers equities against the fixed income asset class, feels gilt
funds are unlikely to outperform equity markets. He expects banking and
financial sectors to grow at a faster rate and recommends staying overweight on
the sector.
Shah expects earnings growth to pick up in the next 2 years and sees strong
demand in Indian markets from international and local investors.
“The market looks to be well supported for next the 3-5 years… We are
looking to adopt more bottom-up approach,” he said.
