A thread 🧵on how much retail investors (individuals) dominate daily investing in the markets in India, from the NSE Pulse: static.nseindia.com//s3fs-public/i…
They're 41% of the stock market transactions - down from 45% in 2020-21. Still, massive.
Individuals are 29% of index futures - a big drop from 39% in FY 21 and give way to brokers (PRO).
They give way to FIIs and PRO in the stock futures segment, down to just 19% in FY22 (which is April 2021 to March 2022)
Clearly, those straddle and strangle videos are working - individuals are more than 1/3rd the index option market. FIIs said goodbye, and brokers also love this market. This is a source of worry - it's also the most leveraged segment (indexes have low IVs, so leverage is high)
Individuals love them stock options too, and together with brokers prop accounts, are over 80% of the market.
But none of this means they hold stocks.
🕴️♂️Promoters own 51% of stocks.
🤵 FIIs own 21%!
💼Mutual funds/Insurers 15%
🥷Retail investors 9.3%
(Rest is others)
FIIs own more than Mutual funds+Retail investors added up. Very different from the trading data where Retail investors is more than double of FIIs+Mutual Funds.
But might be changing. Here's mutual fund SIPs every month:
