Smart Money Buying

This scanner gives you a list of Indian stocks where domestic & foreign institutions are increasing their stakes. Let’s learn more about the filters used:

Market Capitalization

We will limit ourselves to large-cap and mid-cap stocks using a market capitalization filter of more than 10,000 crores. If you want to check for smart money when buying small-cap stocks, you can use a filter of market capitalization of more than 5,000 crores. However, note that investing in small caps entails its own set of risks.

Domestic Institution Holdings

These are investments made by local financial entities such as banks, mutual funds, and insurance companies in Indian securities. These institutions, with their deep understanding of local markets, bring stability and liquidity. In this scanner, we focus on companies where domestic institutions have increased their stake from the last quarter. This increase signifies the confidence of knowledgeable and influential local investors, which can drive demand, support stock prices, and signal to other investors that the stock is a strong investment, potentially leading to further price appreciation and stability.

Foreign Institution Holdings

These are assets or securities owned by non-domestic entities. Such holdings offer diversification to investors by accessing markets beyond their home country, potentially mitigating risks associated with local economic fluctuations. This scanner focuses on companies where foreign institutions have increased their stake in the last quarter. This increase is a positive indicator for stock prices, highlighting the strong confidence of international investors in a company’s prospects. It can lead to increased demand for the stock, boost its price, and often reflect favorable economic conditions and stability, attract more investments, and foster a positive market sentiment.
