Ever wondered if the Indian stock market still needs Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) now that domestic investors are stepping up? Shray and Deepak chew over this hot topic in our latest episode.

They examine questions like whether foreign investors are responsible for recent market declines, who the primary owners of Indian companies are, and why foreign ownership is decreasing. They discuss the impact of regulatory changes, such as increased KYC requirements and the end of tax benefits for investments through Mauritius, Singapore, and Cyprus. The episode also delves into the differences between Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and Foreign Direct Investors (FDIs), as well as the significance of retail and domestic investors in the market. The hosts conclude by discussing the future of foreign ownership and whether retail investors should continue their systematic investment plans (SIPs).

With retail investment soaring, the influence of foreign money seems to be waning—or is it? They also discuss the consequences of significant foreign withdrawals during global crises and compare the patterns of FII with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), highlighting the intricate details of market shifts. They also take a look at global capital flows through the case studies of Hyundai’s, Holcim and British American Tobacco among others. Tune in to understand why studying both FII and FDI activity is crucial for grasping the bigger picture of market behavior.
