Mutual funds are professionally managed investment vehicles that pool money from various investors to invest in equities, debt, or other securities. They are known for offering diversification, liquidity, and expert management, making them a preferred choice for retail investors looking to participate in the stock market.
In April, mutual funds showed more interest in several large-cap companies. This means fund managers believe these companies have strong potential for future growth. They likely made these changes based on good earnings, strong performance in certain sectors, or attractive stock prices.
Below is a list of large-cap stocks where mutual funds increased their investment during the month. When mutual funds buy more shares of a company, it often shows strong belief in the company’s future. This can be a good sign for regular investors too, as it may lead to better stock performance and higher demand.
