Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) exit a large share of IPO anchor allotments within a year, according to a SEBI study. The study says FPIs sell about Rs 22,474 crore worth of anchor allotments over a one-year period, compared with Rs 12,228 crore sold by mutual funds.
The report highlights that FPIs account for significantly higher selling activity than mutual funds in the same anchor-lot window. It also points to a broad pattern of faster exits from IPO anchor positions by FPIs, with the study estimating that they sell around 60% of such holdings within a year. Mutual funds, by contrast, show comparatively lower net selling over the same period.
Across the outlet coverage provided here, the focus remains on SEBI’s findings on selling volumes and the implied differences in exit behaviour between FPIs and mutual funds after IPO anchor allotment.
