FMCGs are defensive stocks!

Despite several market falls in 2025; my portfolio has surprisingly remained in green. This is primarily due to high weightage of two FMCG stocks namely; Marico & Nestle. This proves two things, one is FMCG stocks are macro proof and second if you are holding high quality stocks in your portfolio then no kind of negative news can affect it drastically. One should have at least 2-3 high quality & growing FMCG stocks in your portfolio. They are called defensive stocks for a reason. Under any macro conditions, they will always give minimum 12-15% returns p.a. in the long-term.
