  • Mutual funds increased their stake in 453 stocks in the smallcap space in February, while decreasing holding in around 300 stocks. In the midcap universe, more than 90 stocks saw an increase in the stake held by MFs while nearly 60 saw funds trim their holdings.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses how mid and smallcap mutual funds in India had to adjust their top stock holdings in February due to a market correction. This correction led to a significant reshuffling of portfolios as fund managers sought to realign their investments with the changing market dynamics. Key points include the reduction in exposure to stocks that had seen substantial declines, and an increase in holdings of stocks that were considered undervalued or had better growth prospects. The article highlights specific funds like HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund and SBI Small Cap Fund, which made notable changes in their top holdings. This strategic shift was influenced by factors such as profit booking, sectoral rotations, and the need to manage risk in a volatile market environment. The changes reflect a broader trend where fund managers are adapting to market conditions to optimize returns and manage risk effectively.
