MFs Net Sellers in Indian Equities for First Time in 3 Years, Offload Rs 4,100 Cr
•Mutual funds turned net sellers in Indian equities in February, offloading Rs 4,100 crore, marking the first net selling in three years.
•This follows 34 consecutive months of net buying, with the last net selling instance in April 2023 (Rs 4,532 crore).
•Experts attribute the selling to portfolio repositioning, churning underperforming stocks, and reallocating to quality large-cap names, not redemption pressure.
•The scale of selling (Rs 4,100 crore) is considered small in an industry managing Rs 40 lakh crore, possibly reflecting actions by a few schemes or AMCs.
•Other factors include index rebalancing, evolving India-US trade deal details, and increased investor interest in gold, silver ETFs, and bond funds.
