Mutual Funds Increase Holdings in Select Stocks While Cutting Stakes in Smallcaps Amid Market Slump
Mutual funds have shown contrasting trends in stock holdings amid a prolonged market slump. Over four consecutive quarters ending September 2026, mutual funds increased stakes in six stocks including SBI Cards and KFin Technologies. Conversely, after two quarters of buying, mutual funds reduced holdings in eight small-cap stocks, many of which saw share prices fall by up to 30% in three months. These shifts reflect cautious institutional adjustments amid ongoing market volatility.
