Two stocks have been shown the door \u2013 Interglobe Aviation (0.20{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) after a short five month stay and Titan (0.10{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}). Even with some trims, Axis Bank sees a substantially increased allocation in the Franklin fund by 1.03{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} (going up to 7.19{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) at the back of it\u2019s price upswing. The fund has also added a 0.65{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} position in IndusInd Bank. Oh boy, Motilal Oswal yet again. Let me start with the strangest change I see. There is a new 5.30{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} allocation to Reliance Industries, which saw a 5.21{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} allocation completely being exited just last month. This is either the weirdest instance of indecision or an error maybe in the portfolios they publish. The fund has also trimmed it\u2019s allocation in AU Small Finance Bank by 2.86{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} (now at 1.24{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) and HDFC Bank by 2.18{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} (now at 5.10{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}). There are two chunky exits \u2013 SBI Cards (2.68{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}) and Kotak Mahindra Bank (1.17{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}). Apart from Reliance, the fund has also added Pheonix Mills (1.72{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}).
