AMFI Stock Re-Categorisation: Potential Large-Cap Entrants Emerge
Mutual Fund Categorisation: AMFI to Announce Semi-Annual Stock Re-categorisation in July
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) is set to announce its semi-annual stock re-categorisation in the first week of July, a key development that serves as the reference framework for active domestic mutual fund managers. This announcement is crucial as it will guide active mutual fund managers in taking fresh positions or rebalancing portfolios across scheme categories.
According to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research, the large-cap cut-off is estimated at around ₹1.07 lakh crore, marginally higher than ₹1.05 lakh crore in December 2025. The mid-cap cut-off is estimated at approximately ₹32,700 crore, compared with ₹34,800 crore in the previous review period.
The categorisation exercise will be based on the six-month average market capitalisation during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2026, with the revised classification becoming effective from August 1, 2026, as stated by Abhilash Pagaria, Head, Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research.
