India's top portfolio managers clocked gains for the fourth straight month even as the benchmarks suffered losses in September.
The top 60 portfolio managers by assets tracked by BloombergQuint posted an average return of 1.7% last month compared with a drop of 1.45% and 1.23% in the Sensex and Nifty 50, respectively. That came as the mid-cap stocks held by most of them continued to recover.
Still, the average returns of the portfolio managers—that collectively manage Rs 1.22 lakh crore, or nearly 81% of the industry assets—could not beat the mid-cap index. The NSE Nifty Midcap 100 rose 1.80% in September even as the broader Nifty 500 fell 0.32%.
