A simple question which probably has the most complex answer. Till date which set of stocks have delivered best returns in 2024. Last year the narrative was about mid and small caps having outperformed the large caps. In the first half of 2024, there is no such narrative and no clear answer. There is historical evidence that when this happens in the next six to nine months, it is large caps which tend to perform well. This happens due to high valuation differential in mid and large caps is bound to reduce as mean reversion takes place.
