Domestic fund houses, which are yet to recover from huge redemptions in October, will have to gear up for another round of outflow in the New Year.
The mutual fund industry has witnessed a value erosion of Rs 75,966 crore (Rs 759.66 billion) in equity-related schemes in the first seven months of the current financial year. This is primarily because of the slide in the equity market on account of the global financial turmoil.
The benchmark index closed at 13,315.60 on September 18, after touching 12,558.14, below its May 2006-level. Interestingly, small-cap and mid-cap indices fell by over 15 per cent each, despite the Sensex and Nifty gaining 6 per cent since then.
48 companies have given stock options since Budget day.
