Why Mutual Funds Love The Next 500

LARGE-CAP MUTUAL FUNDS delivered 26% returns in 2021. In comparison, small-cap funds returned close to 60%. The divergence was partly a result of market shifting focus towards finding hidden gems, stocks not as prominent as large-caps but where potential returns are high. Numbers bear this out. Small-cap schemes have invested a whopping ₹26,648 crore in Fortune India Next 500 stocks. In fact, Next 500 stocks account for one-fourth of their combined portfolio. Overall, open-ended equity mutual funds have invested ₹86,349 crore, or 6.5% of their assets under management (AUM), in these stocks. Equity schemes include large-cap, large- & mid-cap, mid-cap, multi-cap, small-cap, dividend yield, value/contra, focused, sectoral/thematic, ELSS and flexi-cap funds. Multi-cap and mid-cap schemes hold 10% and 9% assets. Let’s dig into stocks that are favourites of mutual funds.
