Mutual funds are professionally managed investment vehicles that pool money from various investors to invest in equities, debt, or other securities. They are known for offering diversification, liquidity, and expert management, making them a preferred choice for retail investors looking to participate in the stock market.
In September, mutual funds showed more interest in several companies. When mutual funds buy more shares of a company, it often shows a strong belief in the company’s future. This can be a good sign for regular investors too, as it may lead to better stock performance and higher demand.
According to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research, mutual funds increased their investments in several stocks during the month of September. Equity Mutual Funds deployed Rs. 400 crore from their cash balance in the month of September, but the overall cash levels remain at Rs. 1.76 lakh crore.
