SUMMARY
From Suzlon to Reliance Industries and TCS, India’s Mutual Funds exited these names in the month of September.
Most fund managers have mentioned in the recent past that largecap stocks will see outperformance compared to the broader market names as they offer greater valuation comfort. But this latest list from Nuvama Alternative And Quantitative Research presents a mixed picture. While fund houses have increased stake in certain large caps, they have reduced stake in some, or have even made a complete exit from some Nifty 50 names. Here is a look at some names.
