It is important to note that reclassification of stocks does not result in immediate fund inflows. However, recategorization does help stocks. “Yes, the recategorization helps but not necessarily immediately in terms of flows. As the stocks move up from the lower categorization to higher (eg- Small-cap to Midcap), it leads to more visibility for stocks and thus the fund managers can look to further analyze the names and add as per their rational and scheme mandate,” Edelweiss said.
