FIIs Buy Select Stocks Amidst Domestic Investor Exits

FIIs Buy Select Stocks Amidst Domestic Investor Exits

Imagine some big money managers from other countries, called FIIs, are deciding where to put their money.

Recently, they've been taking money out of India overall because things like interest rates are going up in the US.

But, they are still finding a few specific companies in India that they really like and are buying more shares of them.

Meanwhile, Indian money managers, called DIIs, who get money from people investing in mutual funds, and also smaller individual investors (retail) have been selling shares in these same companies.

It's like the foreign investors see special reasons for these few companies to do well, such as new products or business plans, while the Indian investors are taking profits or reallocating their money for different reasons.

Overall, FIIs own less of the Indian stock market than they used to, while DIIs own more.
