Most Invested smallcases of FY 2022-23
The financial year 2022-23 was challenging for stock investors on Dalal Street, as novice investors learned the hard way that making money is not a straightforward process. Many new investors fell prey to the fear of missing out (FOMO) as they attempted to time the market during the ups and downs caused by concerns about Fed rate hikes, the Russia-Ukraine war, inflation, and recession projections.
Despite this, the Indian stock market outperformed most global markets, leading to a rise in investor wealth in terms of market capitalization.
As the financial year approached its end, the Nifty fell below the psychological support level of 17,000 in March 2023 before rebounding. Despite geopolitical tensions, the SVB crisis, and rising inflation, experts suggest that the current correction is an excellent opportunity to accumulate stocks for the long term at reasonable valuations.
