Ace investor Shankar Sharma decodes market performance, highlights where money-making opportunities lie | Stock Market News
Veteran investor Shankar Sharma says the Indian market's weak run is normal. After strong gains from the pandemic to 2024, a long stretch of negligible returns was likely. The Nifty is down 18% from its January high. He blames companies that only chase domestic consumers and never globalise. He suggests investors look at fixed income instead. So treat this as a cycle, not a crash.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Nifty is down 18% from its record high of 26,373.20, scaled on 5 January this year.
- Over the last two years the index has given a negative return of 13%, and it is down 14% so far this year.
- Shankar Sharma says Indian companies stay inward-looking, with no global presence and no innovation.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Review how much of your portfolio sits in Indian equities and whether fixed income suits your goals, but speak to your adviser before making any change.
