Indian equities continue to remain a preferred asset class for investors looking to capitalize on improving market conditions and supportive macroeconomic trends. At present, portfolio allocations remain heavily tilted towards domestic stocks, with a strong preference for exchange-traded funds and banking-related themes. Amit Goel, Co-Founder & Chief Global Strategist, Pace 360, said his current equity allocation stands at around 55-60%, with a significant exposure to Bank Nifty ETFs. He believes attractive valuations, easing bond yields, a stronger rupee and supportive RBI measures have created a favorable environment for the banking sector. Goel expects markets to deliver another 10-12% upside over the next few months and indicated that equity exposure could be increased further to nearly 70%. He also expects large-cap indices to potentially touch fresh all-time highs before Diwali.
