Which Nifty sectors performed best in 2025?

The article highlights Nifty sector indices with heatmaps showing performance trends, though specific sector names aren't listed. Investors should refer to the embedded charts for detailed returns. The Capitalmind PMS strategies, particularly Adaptive Momentum, emphasize selecting stocks based on price momentum and volatility, which may align with top-performing sectors.

How does Capitalmind PMS differ from typical quantitative portfolios?

Capitalmind Adaptive Momentum uses a composite return metric adjusted for volatility, unlike conventional momentum investing that relies on discrete point-to-point returns. It also incorporates short-term price and volume filters to reduce downside volatility and has rules to shift to cash during market declines, which most momentum portfolios lack.

What makes Capitalmind Resilient unique?

Capitalmind Resilient combines profitability and price volatility factors, rebalancing quarterly to hold low-surprise companies with strong fundamentals. Its quantitative approach focuses on fundamental quality and volatility, distinguishing it from purely momentum-driven strategies.

How Capitalmind PMS Adaptive Momentum differs from typical Quantitative Portfolios

Robust Momentum Methodology

Conventional momentum investing uses discrete point-to-point returns to score and rank stocks. Adaptive Momentum utilises a composite return metric adjusted for volatility.

More selective Entry filters

Adaptive Momentum incorporates short-term price and volume criteria that improve downside volatility by reducing probability of sharp reversals soon after entry

Portfolio-level Risk Management

Most Momentum Factor portfolios rely purely on relative momentum and tend to stay invested irrespective of broader market conditions making them particularly vulnerable in broad and sharp market corrections. Also, the rebalance frequency determines the agility of the strategy. Capitalmind Adaptive Momentum has defined rules to shift partially or fully to cash in broad market declines to reduce downside volatility. Capped exposure to sectors and business groups reduces concentration risk.

Iterative Review & Improvement Process

Adaptive Momentum continues to evolve to improve its risk-reward characteristics through a rigorous quantitative backtesting process that simulates real-world implementation challenges
