Key Insight
The mid-cap focused card sits between Alpha 5 (5 stocks, 31 percent vol) and Mid-Smallcap (40 stocks, broader exposure). The 20-stock equal-weight structure on the Nifty Midcap 150 produces the intermediate volatility profile of 25.44 percent and a Sharpe of 1.48. Lower Sharpe than the 50-stock cards because the Midcap 150 universe is narrower and you cannot diversify away the regime drawdowns. The 322-day drawdown from Dec 2024 through Nov 2025 is the lived experience of mid-cap regime risk on this card.
