For retail investors, monitoring where Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) allocate their funds can provide valuable market insights, as FIIs typically invest only after thorough research and with strong conviction. An analysis of BSE small-cap stocks shows that about 164 stocks witnessed increased ownership by both FIIs and retail investors (defined as individual shareholders holding up to Rs 2 lakh in nominal share capital) compared to the previous quarter.
