Thematic & Momentum!

Momentum and thematic plays are inherently speculative, often fueled by trends rather than fundamentals. Treat them as seasoning for your portfolio—not the main dish. Recent years have witnessed dramatic rallies in momentum-driven stocks and thematic funds. The allure of these high-return opportunities is hard to resist, but they come with significant risks. Many investors who chased these ‘flavors of the season’ have suffered sharp losses, with some stocks declining by 40–60% when market conditions reversed.
