Bank of Maharashtra reports that mutual funds have increased their stakes in five mid‑cap equities for three consecutive quarters, driving year‑to‑date gains of up to 75%.
Bank of Maharashtra disclosed that mutual fund houses have raised their holdings in a group of five mid‑cap companies for the third straight quarter. The consistent buying trend reflects growing confidence among fund managers in the growth prospects of these smaller‑cap firms.
According to the bank's data, the cumulative price appreciation of the five stocks has reached as high as 75% since the start of the calendar year. While exact names of the companies were not disclosed, the aggregate performance underscores a broader shift of capital towards the mid‑cap segment.
Analysts note that sustained fund inflows can enhance liquidity and support further price gains, but they also caution that mid‑cap stocks remain more volatile than large‑cap peers. The trend will be watched closely as investors assess whether the momentum can be maintained in the coming quarters.
