These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 21% return in 1 year, according to analysts
Historically, stock market recoveries have been led by large-caps. While this is both normal and logical for recoveries, there have been phases in the last six years when they have been led by mid-caps; or, at times, by both segments in sync. This is because, in recent times, much institutional and retail money through mutual funds have moved into mid-caps. So, as institutional interest revives after a correction, it tends to flow to mid-caps as well. So, having a basket of large- and mid-cap stocks would be better because at different points of time each might be doing well.
