Top 10 stocks with the highest mf shareholding %?
I want to know about those Indian stocks with the highest mutual fund (MF) shareholding percentages. Is it good for retail investors to invest (like blindly) in such stocks as look to be fundamentally strong, as MF holds a large portion of them?
Indian stocks where mutual funds own the highest percentage of the company are as follows:
DII holding:
- Crompton Greaves Consumer (66.14%),
- MCX (54.37%),
- Federal Bank (49.88%),
- Max Financial Services (44.75%),
- Coforge (44.43%),
- Axis Bank (42%),
- Sona BLW Precision (41.46%),
- Karur Vysya Bank (39%), and
- Delhivery (36.26%),
- Whirlpool India (35.85%)
These stocks usually attract heavy mutual fund ownership because they are seen as strong long-term businesses with good growth potential.
But this is also a point worth noting that these stocks, unlike giant companies such as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Reliance, or TCS, these firms may have a smaller free float, so even moderate buying by mutual funds can lead to very high ownership percentages.
However, investors should not treat high MF holdings as a direct buy signal.
Sometimes, stocks with extremely high institutional ownership can become crowded trades, which may increase volatility during market corrections.
Hence, it is always better to study the company’s fundamentals, valuation, earnings growth, and business quality before investing.
