When we were looking at the decadal performance of major BSE indices, we noticed that many have performed well, with 13 indices giving more than 10 per cent returns pa. However, most have performed only during the bull run over the last couple of years. In order to understand which ones have performed only over the last two and a half years and which ones were consistent, we divided the last 10 years into two periods: from July 12, 2012, to February 28, 2020, and from March 2, 2020, to July 12, 2022. Here are some interesting things we noticed.

<ul>
<li>12 major indices underperformed the Sensex in the first period, but 11 of them recovered and went on to outperform the Sensex in the second period.</li>
<li>Only three indices - MidCap, Consumer Durables, and IT-outperformed the Sensex over both periods.</li>
<li>The only index that underperformed the Sensex in both the periods is Telecom.</li>
<li>While Bankex, Finance, and FMCG outperformed the Sensex in the first period, Sensex beat them in the second period.</li>
<li>FMCG is probably the most-consistent index as it gave similar returns in both periods while being the second-least volatile index.</li>
<li>The Power index made the best comeback of all as it bounced from -1.8 per cent pa in the first period to 49.8 in the second period.</li>
<li>On an overall basis, Consumer Durables is the best performing index of the last 10 years followed by IT and SmallCap. Metal was the worst performer over the last 10 years.&nbsp;</li>
