Ignoring mid-caps is not an option, and being selective is a necessity: 6 stocks from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 38 %

A recent report suggested that for the first time, the AUM of Midcap mutual fund schemes have gone above the AUM of large cap mutual fund schemes. There are two ways to look and interpret this. First, that too much money has gone into mid-cap mutual funds and it is time to be cautious. The other way to look at it is that finally mid-cap stocks have reached a level where institutional investors are able to find opportunities to invest and that is why they are coming with more schemes and more money is being collected in mid-cap schemes. Beside the above two, there is a third way to look at it, which is pragmatic: India's growth story is incomplete without mid-cap as these are the companies which are either emerging or re-emerging with their operating matrix turning better due to a couple of factors.
