Headwinds of high FPI exposure, but good for long term: 6 stocks the financial services sector with an upside potential of up to 25 %
One of the most intriguing aspects of presenting the return performance of stocks, or any asset class for that matter, is how a slight adjustment in the calculation date can dramatically alter the perception, making the glass appear either half full or half empty. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the case of financial service stocks. Recently, these stocks have often been portrayed as underperformers. However, this overlooks the fact that over the long term, they have provided substantial returns and generated significant wealth. The short-term underperformance of these stocks can be attributed to their heavy ownership by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI). As FPIs have been net sellers in Indian equities, financial service stocks have faced selling pressure. Nevertheless, the relative decline in stock prices is considerably less severe than in previous instances of similar selling activity. Given the robust fundamentals of these stocks compared to a few years ago, it is prudent to view them from a long-term investment perspective.
Reinsurance and coinsurance not under tax ambit

Just because the Nifty has been trading in a volatile mood for the last few trading sessions, the word correction might be heard on the street. The fact is that if one looks at the internal of the markets, there has been an ongoing correction which is taking place which has been largely guided by the numbers which companies have delivered for Q4. Also there is a kind of sectoral correction taking place. The good part is that such kind of sectoral corrections are indicative of underlying bullishness and these corrections are part of any bull run. The only thing any investor needs to make sure is that in any corrective phase, bias when making fresh investment should be toward large cap stocks as there is a possibility that they would see less damage in corrections which are stronger in nature due to global or macro developments.

Bearing the brunt today, but good for long term: 6 stocks from the financial services sector with upside potential of up to 30%
For all those who were again thinking why the financial services sector stocks are leading the recent phase of decline. A look into FPI holding patterns would throw the answer. It is the financial services, including banks where FPIs have the maximum exposure, so if they are booking profit, the first round of selling is bound to come in the sector where they have maximum holding.But there is another part to the story, which is when they come back, it is the very same sectors where they buy the first, because financial services and banks are the best proxy play to GDP growth.
