<p>As to a Moneycontrol analysis, TCS and ICICI Bank have the largest ownership by mutual funds, putting them at the top of the list. Forty fund houses together own equity in these firms, according to Emkay data. Maruti Suzuki and Infosys are next in line, with 39 AMCs holding shares in both companies as of November. Titan is the most owned stock in the FMCG industry, with ITC and Hindustan Unilever (HUL) following closely. This year, Sun Pharma has emerged as the industry leader in the pharmaceutical space, while Bajaj Finance is the clear favorite among non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), having received investments from almost 35 AMCs.</p>
<p>More than other Mutual Fund Companies in the country, State Bank of India is the only public sector bank in India that is owned by 30 AMCs. The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), along with SBI, is one of the PSU equities that AMCs buy the most of. Even though TCS was one of the most popular stocks in 2023, the firm had difficulties because of rising interest rates and unfavorable consumer sentiment in the US and Europe. TCS’s position in the US and EU markets is insecure due to global macroeconomic uncertainty. However, this year the IT giant claimed to win $11.2 billion (about Rs 931 billion) in deals, which is the second-highest Total Contract Value (TCV) the company has ever disclosed.</p>
<p>These observations on stock ownership provide a window into the market dynamics influencing investment choices as AMCs actively diversify their holdings. AMC decisions are a reflection of sector preferences and strategic positioning in the face of shifting global uncertainty and changing economic circumstances.</p>
