FPIs emerge as biggest sellers among anchor investors in IPOs' 30-day window: Sebi study

Foreign portfolio investors have emerged as the biggest sellers among anchor investors in initial public offerings (IPOs) within the 30-day window. This means that foreign investors who participated in IPOs are quickly selling their shares, which can put downward pressure on stock prices. The selling activity is particularly concerning as it often occurs around the 30-day unlock window, when anchor investors are allowed to sell their shares, potentially leading to market volatility.

Why it matters

Foreign investors are selling their shares, which can lead to lower stock prices. This selling pressure can also affect the overall market sentiment.
