Nifty may recover after two years of underperformance, says Anand Rathi’s Azeez | Stock Market News
Anand Rathi's Feroze Azeez says Indian equities may recover after two weak years, as mean reversion favours India. He sees no sharp fall unless foreign and domestic investors both sell. Monthly SIP (systematic investment plan) inflows stay strong at ₹30,000–32,000 crore. He warns Category III AIF (alternative investment fund) investors may bear tax on gains made during their holding period.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Feroze Azeez, joint chief executive officer at Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd, says mean reversion is favouring India and he does not expect a sharp market correction unless both foreign institutional investors and domestic institutional investors turn sellers.
- Azeez says the Nifty has historically delivered positive returns in the three years following a two-year period of price stagnation.
- He warns that in a Category III AIF, the tax on gains is accounted for in the fund itself and is reflected in the NAV, so an investor exiting the fund can end up bearing the tax liability on gains made during their investment period.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are considering a Category III AIF, ask your advisor in writing how the fund's own tax on gains could affect your exit value, and do not invest in it only for extra returns.
