Analysts have highlighted Axis Midcap, PGIM India Midcap, Kotak Midcap, and Axis Small Cap Funds as top picks for October 2025, driven by strong corporate earnings, domestic growth, and increasing retail participation. With India’s GDP growth above 7% and improving manufacturing indicators, mid- and small-cap segments are attracting higher inflows. Fund managers anticipate sustained resilience as corporate profits expand and capex cycles deepen, positioning these funds to potentially deliver consistent alpha through FY26, benefiting long-term investors seeking growth exposure.
