The change in categorization doesn’t lead to incremental inflows or outflows. The active mutual fund managers keep an eye on the list while taking fresh/modifying positions in stocks in different categories of schemes, it said.
The re-classified list of large, mid, and small-caps will be released by AMFI by the first week of Jul 2024. Equity oriented market cap classification focused schemes will have to re-align their holdings within one month of announcement based on discretion, said IIFL Securities. However re-positioning will be purely discretion based, it said.
