On an average, mid and small cap indices deliver a 4-8% excess return over the Nifty, based on last 15 years of data

• Further, the excess returns follow a cyclical pattern, oscillating between out- and under- performance. Given the underperformance over the last one-two years, it could be safely assumed that prospective returns of mid & small cap indices will be better than the Nifty index

• The relative valuations of the midcap index against the Nifty index also support this argument as current relative valuations are below long-term averages.
