Motilal Oswal Mid to Mega Strategy
Strategy Overview
What is Mid To Mega ?
Mid and Small Caps are the Large Caps of the Future. Based on Mr. Raamdeo Agrawal’s 20th Annual Wealth Creation Study, Mid to Mega stands for a company’s stock crossing over from the Mid to the Mega category (i.e. top 100).
This marks a significant crossover for any company, both in terms of achieving critical mass and scale in its operations, and recognition of the same by the stock markets.
3 Types of profitable crossovers for wealth creation:
Mini to Mega (Very Low Probability)
Mini to Mid (Low Probability)
Mid to Mega (Low to Medium Probability)
Probability that a mid will become mega in 5 years is as high as ~14% compared to less than 1%probability of a mini to mega/mid transition
Why Mid Cap?
Entering The Sweet Spot Of The Market:
We believe that Market cap rank 101-400 is the sweet spot for Indian equities
They can provide balance between growth and a demonstrated history of management success.

Investment Philosophy
The investment philosophy of Motilal Oswal PMS is centered around the belief that “Money is made by investing for the long term.” The strategy aims to identify businesses that can compound capital sustainably over years.
At the core of this approach lies the QGLP framework — a simple yet powerful checklist for selecting high-quality companies.
Q - Quality
Focus on businesses with ethical, competent, and visionary management. Companies must exhibit leadership in their industry and have durable competitive advantages.
G - Growth
Identify businesses with strong earnings growth potential, expanding market opportunities, and scalable business models.
L - Longevity
Invest in companies that can sustain growth over long periods. Preference is given to stable business models with repeat revenue streams and long runways.
P - Price
Buy at a reasonable price that offers a margin of safety. Even the best business needs to be purchased at the right valuation to deliver strong long-term returns.
This philosophy drives the selection of a focused portfolio of 20–25 high-conviction stocks — aiming for long-term wealth creation with low churn and disciplined ownership.
