As Foreign Institutional Investors (FII’s) continue their selling spree, which has been going on for quite a few months now, investors are getting more worried about their movements. No one knows the exact reason for the ongoing exodus, but every investor is trying to save their nest egg from the wrath of stock market movements that the FII selling could cause.

Recently, two of India’s leading banks probably fell out of favour for the FII’s. The FII holding in these banks have seen a decline of as high as 10%, which is a big drop.
