Expect Banking, Financial, Infra and Capex themes to perform over the medium term: Max Life Ins

Weak global indices fueled by global recession fears caused Indian equities to extend their negative rate of return for the year – Sensex and Nifty lost more than one percent each; the mid-cap index fell by more than 3%.

Talk to CNBC-TV18, Mihir Vora, Director and Chief Investment Officer at Max Life Insurance, said: “We are in a situation where the global headwinds are much stronger than the domestic momentum we are seeing in the economy. So I think what we can do is just wait and watch and try to change portfolios, depending on how quickly stock prices move.

Regarding equities and the sector, Vora said: “These are banking and financial services, the consumer theme – whether discretionary or non-discretionary – and infra and capex related themes. They should therefore continue to do well structurally in the medium term. »

He added: “Within banking and financial services, because we expect liquidity to continue to tighten at least for some time, I would prefer banks (over) non-bank financial services companies.
