Tibrewal sharing his strategies for 2018 with regards to small and midcap funds said some caution is warranted for 2018 although the midcap space has done well over the last 2-3 years.
The reason for caution is because lot of lower rung stocks have started to move up on back of momentum.
Therefore, in the near-term there could be some correction in midcaps but from 3-5 years perspective it looks promising because of the different business models of some of the companies.
Going forward, with the ordering momentum in the infra and capital goods space picking up they have started to look interesting, said Tibrewal. In that space pipe and abrasive companies look good, which are linked to economic growth.
Tibrewal said the other interesting space is financials because of market share shift from PSUs to private companies in spaces like banks, asset management companies, insurance etc.
One can also look at making money in the consumer discretionary, space over the next three years, said Tibrewal.
