Investors should prepare for a period of horizontal movement in the broader market, according to insights from Kush Gupta, Fund Manager at SKG Investment. Gupta suggests that the mid-term landscape will likely remain range-bound as macroeconomic pressures dictate the pace of recovery.
Rather than betting on a broad-based rally, the firm advises a more surgical approach to portfolio construction. Selective exposure is expected to be the winning strategy while global and domestic economic variables stabilize heading into 2026.
Gupta highlights three primary pillars of interest for investors looking to navigate this climate:
- Defence: Ongoing geopolitical shifts and localized procurement.
- Financial Services: Robust credit demand driving consistent earnings.
- Pharmaceuticals: Defensive growth amidst broader market volatility.
