Markets tumbled in Oct, giving cash-heavy mutual funds a buying opportunity.

But, funds like PPFAS Flexi Cap & SBI Contra raised their cash holdings.

We looked at 5 such latest mutual fund trends. A๐Ÿงต

1. Cash Holding

31 diversified equity funds in September were holding over 10% cash.

By October, this number was reduced to 25 schemes.

So, there are exceptions, but most schemes have reduced their cash holdings last month.

You can check some popular names in the table.Image
2. Stocks whose popularity took a hit

There are some favourite stocks of mutual fund managers.

One such name is Avenue Supermarts (DMart).

But last month, it fell out of favour amid concerns about its future growth.

You can look at more such names in the table.Image
If you want to analyze these companies in detail, we have recently launched the stock-discovery feature on the ET Money app.

3. Stocks added by more than 20 funds

Stocks that gained popularity among mutual funds include names like Mahindra & Mahindra, Punjab National Bank, and Bharti Airtel.

The full list is in the table.Image
4) Stocks Bought After Steep Correction

These are stocks that mutual fund managers have picked up after a significant price dip (over 15%) in them. Typically, this signals potential value opportunities.Image
5) Most popular mutual funds

October saw equity fund inflows hit a record high of Rs 41,887 crore.

The total amount invested through SIP crossed Rs 25,000 crore.

Which funds saw the highest inflows?
There aren't a lot of surprises here.

The list includes popular names such as Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund, PPFAS Flexi Cap Fund, and SBI Contra Fund.

These record inflows could be a key reason why schemes like PPFAS Flexi Cap and SBI Contra saw a rise in their cash holdings.

If you are wondering why the AUM has reduced despite record inflows, this is because the scheme gave negative returns in October.Image
Do you prefer schemes that take huge cash calls?

HDFC AMC makes a โ‚น70 net profit from โ‚น100 sales.

Bharti Airtel makes โ‚น21.6, Reliance just โ‚น7.5, and Zomato only โ‚น2.6.

Why such a huge gap?

The secret lies in Gross, Operating & Net margins.

Letโ€™s break down how profits really flow across industries. A๐Ÿงต
1. Gross Margin = (Revenue โ€“ Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue

It shows how much profit survives after covering the cost of making a product or service.

Letโ€™s say you sell a t-shirt for โ‚น500.

Fabric & stitching cost is โ‚น300

Gross profit = โ‚น200 โ†’ Gross Margin = 40% (200/500)*100Image
Why Is Gross Margin The First Metric Investors Check?

It shows how strong a company is at setting prices (pricing power) and managing costs.

High margins = a strong brand, with more money to grow.

Low margin = tough competition; every cost hike hits profits.

Manish Gunwani has changed the game at Bandhan Mutual Fund.

Under him, equity funds have bounced back, and his small-cap fund is a star performer.

Here are SEVEN insights from our podcast that could change how you invest. ๐Ÿงต Image
Buy-and-hold doesnโ€™t work in small caps. They are too sensitive to policy and macroeconomic changes. Therefore, one must actively manage the allocation.
Peter Lynchโ€™s Magellan Fund had 25% - 30% returns in the US in the 1980s. Indian markets are in a similar trajectory. Small-cap funds can deliver similar returns over the next 10-15 years.

Hereโ€™s some fresh perspective on this age-old question.

A ๐Ÿงต
An example will make the discussion easy.

Say you have a โ‚น50 lakh home loan.

Interest rate = 9%

EMI = โ‚น44,986

You have โ‚น1 lakh in your pocket and confusion in your head โ€“ should I prepay or invest?
๐Ž๐๐“๐ˆ๐Ž๐ ๐Ÿ: ๐˜๐Ž๐” ๐๐‘๐„๐๐€๐˜

This decreases your principal.

When your outstanding balance shrinks, two things can happen.

A. Your EMI reduces, or
B. Your tenure shortens, saving you interest payments

For now, letโ€™s focus on option B and understand how this works. ๐Ÿ‘‡

What if you only invested in companies that give the best returns?

Can you beat the markets with such a โ€˜Winnersโ€™ Portfolioโ€™?

We did the maths.

โ‚น35 lakh invested over a decade wouldโ€™ve become โ‚น1.31 crore.

Letโ€™s break it down. A๐Ÿงต
Letโ€™s briefly discuss what we did.

A. We looked at 35 stocks with the highest returns starting FY15

B. Invested an equal amount in them

C. We sold them after a year and invested in a new set of stocks that had the best return

D. Repeated this exercise for a decade
We selected the 35 biggest winners of FY15 (Apr 1, 2014 - Mar 31, 2015).

Invested โ‚น10,000 in each of them on Apr 1, 2015.

Total investment = โ‚น3.5 lakh

A year later (on Mar 31, 2016), the returns were 11.1%.

How did the BSE 500 fare? It was down 7.8%. Image
