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.

Also, happy to take any questions around this topic of FII/ DII. Think I understand a bit after this exercise. Shoot.
