Stocks mutual funds are buying: holding up 1 point or more

The page takes each company's latest shareholding filing and the one before it. Mutual fund change is the latest share of the company held by mutual funds minus the previous share, in percentage points. A company is listed when that change is 1 point or more. A rise from 4.2% to 5.2% counts; 4.2% to 5.1% does not.

Each filing is read on its own basis. Where the two filings differ in whether shares underlying depositary receipts traded abroad are counted separately, the change is shown as a dash rather than a guess.

The table sorts on MF chg and sets the other holders beside it: Promoter chg, FII chg and DII chg, followed by each group's current holding. Foreign institutions add foreign portfolio investors, foreign direct investment, sovereign wealth funds and other foreign institutions. Indian institutions are domestic holders such as insurers and banks, mutual funds among them. Each row shows whether other holders added or cut at the same time.

A mutual fund pools money from many investors and buys shares on their behalf. A company's mutual fund holding is the sum across every scheme of every fund house, as a percentage of the company's total shares.

The figure compares two dates and says nothing about the days between them. A holding can rise with no fund buying when the company's share count falls, through a buyback or a cancellation of shares, and funds that bought and sold in between show only the net result. The page shows the change in holding, not shares bought or the funds involved.

Listed companies file a shareholding pattern every quarter, within 21 days of the quarter end, so the list moves as filings arrive. The page uses the company's own filing, not the funds' portfolio disclosures.
