Mayur Shah in his interview with ETMarkets’ Investors Guide highlighted how investing in MNC benefited his portfolio strategy . Shares of multinational companies have fared better than the benchmark equity indices on Dalal Street over the past one year. The Nifty MNC index has declined less than 1 per cent since June 2019 while NSE Nifty is down 14 per cent for the same period.

He mentioned that as MNC in India has  good brand recall and wider presence in several other countries,free cash flow,great asset turnover, better corporate governance standards which contributes to its good returns on investment . He further added on how they bifurcate sectors which are likely to grow with more focus on consumables in the portfolio strategy .

When asked about their plans to invest in MNC stocks abroad , he denied that they are not planning it as of now as it requires a deeper understanding of foreign markets with other specific arrangements to be made.
