Top Stock Picks 2023
Axis Securities has a good track record when it comes to Top Stocks Picks. Their basket of recommendations for 2022 outperformed the benchmark by a significant margin as it delivered an impressive return of 11% in 2022 as against 4.3% posted by Nifty 50 during the year. The basket, however, declined by 1.8% in Dec’22 on account of the volatile equity market but it still managed to beat the 3.5% de-growth reported by the benchmark Nifty 50 on an MoM basis.
Furthermore, the basket has delivered an astounding return of 149% since its inception (May’20), which stands significantly higher than the 95% returns delivered by NIFTY 50 over the same period. (Click here to read the report)
