Domestic investors, especially high networth investors, are focusing less on
stocks that are the choice picks of foreign investors (FIIs). This is because
continued FII selling has led to a large supply of these stocks, driving down
prices.
These domestic investors are instead, turning to stocks with low FII holdings
that have seen prices rise. Their shift is supported by data. During the past
month, over 70% of the NSE500 stocks with FII holdings of less than 10%
have outperformed the broader market. In contrast, 59% of the stocks with
more than 10% FII holding have underperformed the market.
Experts, however, advise investors to take abundant caution while selecting
stocks with lesser FII holding.

Among the NSE500 stocks, the top gainers over the past month like Godfrey
Phillips, Parsvnath Developers, Lanco Infratech, Titagarh Wagons, Firstsource
Solutions, Engineers India, KSK Energy, MRPL, GMR, Mahindra Holidays, Gati, TV18
Broadcast and TV Today Network have less than 10% FII holding. These stocks have
risen in the range of 10% and 50% as against 4% fall in Nifty .
“Of late, action has been shifted to midand small-cap stocks with low FII holding
and hence many of them have risen sharply despite weak market sentiment,“ said
Raamdeo Agrawal, joint MD, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.“HNIs and to some
extent domestic funds, are avoiding FII-dense stocks due to heavy supply in the
market“.
Stocks with more than 10% FII holding like Dishman Pharma, Advanta, PTC India,
Eros, Kolte Patil, Tribhovandas Bhimji, United Spirits, Kaveri Seeds, Dr Reddy's Lab,
UPL and Rallies India have declined between 15% and 25% in the past one month.
FIIs have sold equities worth `28,500 crore since August 2015 while domestic
institutions have bought stocks worth Rs31,000 crore.
