These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 25% return in 1 year, according to analysts

History suggests that market recoveries are led by large-cap stocks. But, in the past two years, there have been phases where the rally and recovery have been led by mid-cap stocks. Reason: Big money is now flowing into mid-cap schemes. So, assuming the markets will remain in bullish mode, it would be better to have exposure to stocks from both the mid- and large-cap segments. It will ensure diversification in terms of market cap and, to some extent, sectors. Why? Because there are a number of sectors that only have mid-cap companies. If you want exposure to those sectors, exposure to mid-caps is the only way.
