A mutual funds development with market-wide reach.
30 Sept 2026 · ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets
Kotak AMC’s Nilesh Shah says public markets can offer opportunities after asset bubbles burst, as distressed valuations emerge. Multiples’ Renuka Ramnath highlights private markets’ greater control, while both stress diversification, liquidity and risk management across investment portfolios.
The analysis
Fund flows and NAV moves show where domestic retail conviction is actually going, month after month.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
