Expert view: A hefty pre-budget rally unlikely; focus on proxy-play approach, says Green Portfolio co-founder
Live MintExpert view: Divam Sharma, co-founder and fund manager at Green Portfolio, believes that since Budget 2024 was a populist budget, the Union Budget 2025 may bring a little break for the middle class. Since the last budget was a populist budget after the BJP regained power for the third time in general elections conducted last year, we expect the Union Budget 2025 to bring a little break for the middle class comparatively, considering the low level of consumption trends this year, especially the rural demand. As we approach 2025, the path to smart investment may seem challenging, but focusing on key sectors can prepare you to beat market volatility, shifting government policies, and rapid technological advancements. By targeting mid and small-cap companies within the growth sectors and leveraging the proxy-play strategy, investors can stay resilient and expect to achieve consistent returns to outperform the market in 2025.
