Pre 2008 crisis, FIIs were found to be returnchasers by many an erudite scholars, however the situation changed drastically after the mass destruction of wealth through the high end complex structured products. The cautious markets and the negative sentiments globally have forced bulk investors (such as FPIs) to make certain strategy during this rehab zone of time, however that was not clearly spelt out. This piece of research investigates the FPI investment pattern in the SandP BSE 30 stocks individually and collectively after the global crisis of 2008, especially during the rebuilding or consolidation phase of the capital market for a crucial period of four calendar years.
