Mutual funds deploy ₹8,752 crore into newly listed stocks in Q2 FY26
Mutual funds committed ₹8,752 crore into new-listing stocks in Q2 FY26, driven by appetite for small-cap IPOs amid market volatility.
India’s mutual fund industry invested around **₹8,752 crore** in recently listed stocks during Q2 FY26, according to Ventura. The focus remained heavily on small-cap IPOs and emerging sectors as fund managers sought growth themes. Analysts say this reflects an appetite for early-stage listings and higher risk-reward bets despite overall market volatility.
The trend underlines the growing role of institutional participation in the primary market, potentially reducing the share of retail investors in future offerings.
