As you can see from the above table, there are around 41 funds having allocations greater than 10%. This means that these funds would need to re-align their portfolio to adhere to the capping. However, will this affect the investors? Let’s find out.
Impact of HDFC-HDFC Bank merger on MF investors
If we look at the total possible sell-off from the above listed mutual funds then it would amount to Rs 3,408 crore based on the Assets Under Management (AUM) as of February 2022. And the post-merger market capitalization of HDFC Bank would be around Rs 14 lakh crore. Hence, with such a massive market capitalization, absorbing the sell-off from mutual funds won’t be that difficult. Therefore, investors in HDFC Bank stocks need not worry about the sell-off from mutual funds.
However, speaking about the impact on mutual fund investors, post-merger the allocation in the index would be around 14%. This would potentially increase the portfolio concentration for index funds, ETFs, focused funds and some of the less diversified large-cap funds. Therefore, investors carrying conservative to moderate risk profiles can consider investing in diversified equity funds such as flexi-cap funds rather than index funds.
