MSCI India Index Review Expected to Drive Significant Passive Fund Inflows in August
JM Financial anticipates the MSCI India Standard Index review in August will lead to significant passive fund inflows into Indian equities, estimated around Rs 30,000 crore (approximately $3.2 billion). Laurus Labs and Biocon are high-probability candidates for inclusion from the Small Cap Index, while Ather Energy, Steel Authority of India, Apar Industries, and Uno Minda have medium probabilities. SBI Card may face exclusion. These changes, effective August 31, could influence institutional investor portfolios amid shifting emerging market allocations.
