Sectoral mutual funds: Defence, metals gave double-digit returns in 2 years while tech, consumer in red — here's why

AI Summary

The stark divergence in sector performance highlights the importance of selective investing within sectoral mutual funds. Retail investors should focus on sectors like defence and PSU banks that are showing strong earnings growth, while being cautious with laggards such as technology and real estate, which face valuation challenges. This trend underscores the necessity for investors to assess sector valuations and growth potential carefully, especially in a market that remains range-bound.

Investors in sectoral mutual funds should look at how different sectors have performed over the past two years, as returns have varied sharply across segments.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL), in its latest India Strategy report, noted that while the market remained range-bound and is below its September 2024 peak, there was significant divergence across sectors.
