While Goldman Sachs' Indian equity portfolio has faced a recent downturn, a select group of high-performing stocks is driving significant gains. Despite an overall decline in portfolio value, specific strategic bets are delivering exceptional returns in the current calendar year.
Mixed Performance in Goldman Sachs’ Indian Portfolio
As of June 25, 2026, the Indian equity portfolio held by Goldman Sachs through its global funds has seen a decline of 6% in CY26. The total value of the portfolio dropped to Rs 8,470 crore, down from Rs 9,014 crore in December 2025.
The data reveals a stark contrast between winners and losers within the 46-stock portfolio. Currently, 18 stocks have experienced declines ranging between 10% and 44%, with the top six laggards seeing even steeper drops of 25% to 44%. This volatility underscores the challenging market conditions faced by many of the firm's holdings during the first half of the year.
