An unbelievable 2020 is coming to an end and investors have already started focusing on what may lie ahead in 2021. The problem of entering a new year after a stellar market performance is always the high level of optimism and a hint of overconfidence in the ability of the markets to deliver positive returns. By all means, the market structure is simply looking great and there are no major signals of a reversal in trend. However, investors are increasingly realizing that the stock prices cannot jump in a unidirectional manner. The year 2021 may welcome us with additional volatility which may surprise investors.
Beginning of any fresh year there is always an attempt made by market participants to speculate which sectors will outperform and where the Sensex is headed towards. As of now, investors want to know:
• Whether the outperformers of 2020 will continue to outperform in 2021?
• Will the Sensex deliver double-digit returns in 2021?
• Will small-caps and mid-caps rally in 2021?
• Whether value stocks will outperform growth stocks in terms of value investing versus growth investing?
While the questions are pretty objective in nature, the answers to these questions are definitely not straightforward and subjective in nature.
