Better placed for medium- to long-term investors: 6 large-caps from different sectors with an upside potential of up to 41%
As a growing economy, India has been performing well. The slowdowns we have seen are cyclical in nature and will keep occurring occasionally. But the overall trend is that of growth. Hence, it is better to be bullish about India, rather than skeptical. Certain sectors have a strong relationship with the current economic cycle. Essentially, the per capita income of a country has a relationship with how the sector performs. As the per capita income moves up, the broader topline of the sector also moves up, but at a faster rate. In some cases it is slower as well. So, at this point of time, let’s focus on the faster ones.

These large-caps have ‘strong buy’ & ‘buy’ recos and an upside potential of more than 31%
This is an undeniable fact. Most investors who have Rs. 1 lakh to invest would prefer to buy 5,000 shares of a small-cap company rather than put the same amount in Reliance and own just 73 shares.

Some of them may indeed do well. Though many may not. The greater probability, however, is that, in the long term and from current levels, large-caps like RIL and LT may give higher returns and see less drawdown in volatile markets.
