Mumbai, 10^th November 2025: According to a study by Ventura, a full-service stock broking platform, in the quarter ended on Sept 2025, the mutual fund industry has shown robust participation in newly listed companies, with total investments amounting to over 8,752 crores across recent IPOs.

 A majority of these new entrants fall under the small cap category, with only one categorised as a mid cap. The data highlights the mutual fund industry's strategic allocation towards smaller, scalable businesses that have the potential to deliver superior returns over time.

Note: Companies with a market value above Rs. 20 Crore have been considered. From those, the top 10 according to market value are considered.

 According to Ventura, given below is the Future Possibility of Changes in Market Cap as per AMFI's New Market Cap List
