Not Bearish on IT Small and Mid Cap Alpha: WhiteOak Capital CIO Ramesh Mantri


Listen Later

In this episode, Ramesh Mantri, Chief Investment Officer at WhiteOak Capital AMC, shares his insights on where opportunity lies in today’s volatile markets. Despite tariffs, sticky inflation, and global uncertainty, Indian equities have shown surprising resilience. Mantri explains why long-term corporate cash flow growth is the real driver of equity returns, and why this is an ideal environment for active fund managers.

With Rs 24,000 crore in AUM and WhiteOak's flexi-cap fund carrying a strong four-star Value Research rating, he outlines how their disciplined, bottom-up process works across both 'flat' and 'turning pitches,' ensuring performance in varied cycles. We also discuss:

  • Why small and mid caps still hold alpha potential despite premium valuations.

  • How WhiteOak builds a diversified mid-cap portfolio of 100+ stocks with a SIP-focused design and low-beta strategy.

  • The reasoning behind staying overweight in IT despite near-term pain, and why smaller IT names continue to deliver alpha.

  • Key opportunities in financials, healthcare, asset management, travel & hospitality, real estate, and high-end manufacturing.

    Whether you're an SIP investor, a mutual fund enthusiast, or a long-term equity investor, this conversation is packed with practical insights on navigating uncertainty while building wealth.
