Technology and new-age firms that recently went public will rule the upcoming large-cap categorisation of the mutual fund sector, according to Edelweiss Alternative Research.
Zomato Ltd.; Nykaa's parent FSN E-Commerce Ventures Ltd.; Paytm's parent One97 Communications Ltd. and Policybazaar's owner PB Fintech Ltd. are among companies that are expected to enter large-cap category in the semi-annual review by the Association of Mutual Funds in India, according to the research firm.
All four made their market debut in 2021, a record year for the initial public offerings in India. New-age firms rode the record-setting rally for equities and frenzied buying by retail investors.
