The above three tables show the top funds, having a holding in the three respective stocks along with its weekly performance and category average performance. 

 

If we look at these tables, it is quite clear that on asset management company (AMC) level, ICICI Prudential looks prominent and has the maximum funds benefiting from the same. 

 

Since the past year, ICICI Prudential has been quite positive on cyclicals as well as overweight on power & gas names across several funds. If we look across the mutual fund industry, several schemes of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund have been the largest holders of ONGC and NTPC. However, when it comes to GAIL (India), along with ICICI Prudential, SBI, Aditya Birla Sun Life and Franklin are the other fund houses, which have a sizeable exposure to this stock. 

 

If we look at the overall holding in these three stocks fund manager wise, then Sankaran Naren of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund holds the highest in these stocks, followed by Richard D’Souza of SBI Mutual Fund and Ihab Dalwai of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund.
