Despite mid-cap rally, FPIs bond with blue chips

Despite the rally in mid-caps for the past three years, overseas investors continue to show their preference for blue chips. In the past five financial years, nearly three out of every four dollars, or about 75 per cent of the money put in by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs), have been invested in the top 10 per cent of the BSE 500 companies with the highest market capitalisation. For instance, the top 50 companies by market capitalisation made up 71 per cent of the total FPI investment in the BSE 500 universe, the shareholding pattern for the quarter ended March 2017 shows. In fact, the top five companies in the index bagged nearly 25 per cent of the investments, hinting at the kind of concentrated portfolio held by the FPIs. In contrast the bottom 50 companies have received less than 1 per cent of the investment from foreign investors for each of the five years. Shareholding data for the quarter ended March 2017 reveals FPI investments in these firms made up a meagre 0.3 per cent .
