BSE IPO Index 13.2

Data source: Prowess

On the other hand, the realty index had investors being ‘once bitten twice shy’. Concerns over realty
prices being in the bubble territory and the huge debt burden kept investors away from repeating the
mistake made in 2007, 2008.

Power, metal and oil and gas sectors again failed to evince much interest due to regulatory bottlenecks
and execution risks. Despite having considerable long term potential given India’s ambitious infrastructure
growth plans, investor interest has eluded these sectors.

Interestingly, the performance of the IPO index too is something to write home about. Given the hype
surrounding some of the recent offerings, investors would do well to take note of this.

Valuations across most sectors are currently close to historical peaks. Hence, it is pertinent for investors
to ensure that their portfolios are not tilted towards stocks or sectors offering little value from here.
