ICICI Securities Report

Foreign portfolio investments (FPIs) deployed a relatively high 6 billion U.S. dollar in August 2020 into Indian stocks but the higher proportion of the flows went into absorbing primary issuances.

Compared to other emerging markets, which witnessed FPI outflows, India outperformed in terms of inflows.

Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) too had positive flows towards primary issuances although the secondary flows continued to be negative (Outflows of 1.5 billion U.S. dollar).

Mutual fund flows into mid cap stocks improved further in August 2020 while outflows were largely seen from Large caps and marginal selling in small caps.

Although monthly stock level flows from FPIs is not available, overall volume traded in mid and small caps within the NSE500 index (investible universe for Institutions), has continued to rise from June onwards.

Significant outperformance of small (up 9%) and midcaps (up 5%) over Nifty 50 in August is continuing into September (up 6% and up 3% respectively) especially post the Securities and Exchange Board of India circular on Multi Cap funds which cannot be ignored by Institutional investors.
