What matters is which stock one owns and also another factor is the time frame with which it has been bought. The reason for the time frame is that this sector has to deal with interest rate cycles and also regulatory changes which makes the stock prone to phases of under performance. In the last one year, since the time RBI has been overhauling the regulatory provision of every segment of financial services these stocks have underperformed , but now recently once again they are showing signs of life coming back.
