The Sensex and Nifty50 indices of Indian equities opened higher on Monday, following gains in other significant markets around the world. 

The Sensex rose beyond 60,100 mark in morning session; the Nifty on other hand moved with modest decline. Stocks in banks and financial services rose, while selling pressure was seen in shares of metal, oil & gas and real estate

On Thursday, the leading indices saw very slight losses. After reaching the day's high of 17,653.90 in morning session, the Nifty fell below the 17,550 levels.

The amount of risk that companies run by pledging shares are different for small and mid-cap companies than it is for large-caps. The betas are far higher in the case of small companies because if the market corrects, the stocks of such companies plummet, resulting in financial institutions selling these shares and putting further pressure on the stocks.  

As many as 86 stocks have turned into multi-baggers in a span of less than a year and if you had these stocks in portfolio, it would have not only provided a ‘Raksha’ from high volatility but also, generated multifold returns.
