Over last 2 years and especially post the March 20 crash, India has been the cynosure of FIIs emerging market play. We are seeing the first sign of break now in March given macro cues.

Let me take your attention back to Tweet 2. Consumer & FMCG had the second lowest FII allocation. There are signs of change there.

Check FII holding across key FMCG/ Consumer companies over 2 years. See that change in Dec quarter? Marked out few names. One for the ITC bulls.

So who are these FIIs?

Large FIIs are mainly Sovereign Wealth funds, ETFs with total global assets in trillions of dollars. Emerging markets are approx. 10% allocation. Thus a small allocation change for India means huge inflows in $ terms.

Trivia: LIC, the largest DII, holds market value of INR 7.46 lakh crores (~4.2% of overall market cap of India). Equivalent of holdings of Top 5 FIIs in India.

Working on some data on small and midcap holdings of FIIs and increases therein. More on that later.

Now this has taken some time and effort over the weekend. Show some love and RT if this helped.
Also, happy to take any questions around this topic of FII/ DII. Think I understand a bit after this exercise. Shoot.
