Frequently asked questions
What does the Institutional Favourites screen show?

The Institutional Favourites screen lists NSE- and BSE-listed stocks that currently meet a specific set of filters: FII ≥ 10%, DII ≥ 10%. It is an automated, rules-based filter that surfaces companies matching those numbers — Meaningful holding from both FIIs and DIIs. It is an informational research tool, not a curated list of recommendations.

What are the exact criteria for the Institutional Favourites screen?

A stock appears in Institutional Favourites when it satisfies FII ≥ 10%, DII ≥ 10%. Every company in the list passes all of these conditions at the time of the most recent data refresh. You can open any stock to see how it meets each condition.

How often is the Institutional Favourites list updated?

The list is recalculated on our regular data-refresh cycle. Price- and volume-based screens update through the trading day, while fundamentals-based screens update as new financial data becomes available. The stocks shown reflect the latest available data, not a fixed or historical snapshot.

Can I customise or save the Institutional Favourites screen?

Yes. You can start from Institutional Favourites and adjust the thresholds, add or remove filters, and combine it with other conditions to build your own screen. Free users can run all presets and save a limited number of custom screens.

Are the stocks in Institutional Favourites buy or sell recommendations?

No. Institutional Favourites is a neutral, informational filter that shows which stocks currently match a mathematical set of conditions. It does not constitute investment advice and is not a buy, sell, or hold recommendation. Always do your own due diligence or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before investing.

Does a stock appearing in Institutional Favourites mean it is a good investment?

Not necessarily. Meeting the criteria only tells you the stock matches those specific numbers today — it says nothing about future performance, valuation fairness, or the quality of the underlying business. Treat the results as one input among many.

What does high FII or DII holding indicate?

These screens filter on the percentage of a company held by foreign (FII) or domestic (DII) institutional investors. High institutional ownership shows that professional investors hold meaningful stakes, but institutions can and do change positions, and their presence is not an endorsement or a guarantee of performance.

What does a high promoter-pledge or promoter-holding screen tell me?

A high promoter pledge flags companies where promoters have pledged a large share of their holding as collateral — often treated as a risk indicator. High unpledged promoter holding is often viewed as owner/shareholder alignment. These are governance-related data points, not recommendations, and should be considered alongside other factors.
