FIIs invest $22 billion in IPOs, dump $50 billion in listed stocks: Why the sharp contrast?
Reported by: Business Today ·
Summary
Business Today reported that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) put $22 billion into Indian IPOs but pulled $50 billion out of listed stocks over two years, citing a Motilal Oswal report. The outlet said the sharp gap raises questions about why FIIs favour new share sales over shares already trading. FIIs are large overseas funds that buy Indian shares. An IPO, or initial public offering, is when a company sells new shares to the public for the first time and lists on an exchange; listed stocks are shares already trading there. The report gives the two-year totals but does not break them down by year or name the companies involved. It also does not say what the FIIs' reasons were.
