When a large number of mutual fund schemes invest in a particular stock, it generally signals strong institutional confidence and can boost retail investor sentiment. As of May 2025, data shows that 216 stocks were held by over 100 mutual fund schemes, indicating widespread institutional interest. According to ETMarkets, out of these, 66 stocks have delivered returns of over 10% since the beginning of the year, and 12 stocks have soared more than 35% in just the first five months of 2025. This trend highlights the potential strength and momentum in stocks backed by broad-based mutual fund participation. (Data Source: ACE MF, ACE Equity)
