Expert Take
RUPESH BHANSALI,
Head, Mutual Funds, GEPL Capital
Soumendra Nath Lahiri is known for his stock-picking ability for more than two decades. Unlike some mid-cap schemes, which have large-caps in top five investments, L & T Midcap is quite clear about its universe. It is a pure midcap scheme. The scheme’s portfolio is constructed in such a way that it protects the downside with exposure to defensive such as pharmaceuticals (10%) and as economy improves the scheme would gain from its exposure to industrials (15%) and banking and financial services (15%).
