what happened
Not every stock held by mutual funds is a favorite among managers. Shares such as HDFC Bank appear in more than 700 schemes, while some companies are held by just one. According to figures from Value Research, shared on X and reported by Moody's, 13 stocks sit in only a single fund each.
The group includes Brooks Laboratories and Ambika Cotton Mills, alongside Simplex Infrastructures and Tourism Finance Corporation of India. Simplex carries the largest weight, at 2.80% of the net assets of Quant Infrastructure Fund. The smallest is Q-Line Biotech, at 1.08% of Abakkus Small Cap Fund's assets.
The holdings span sectoral, thematic, flexi-cap and multi-cap funds. One sits in a hybrid vehicle, Samco Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund, which holds Steamhouse India.
why it matters
Such rare positions reflect the view and strategy of an individual manager. For investors they can mean exposure to shares few peers own, and less overlap with other funds. Still, it matters to understand the manager's approach and how each stock fits the overall risk profile.
