Mutual funds with investments in Zomato

The Initial Public Offer (IPO) of Zomato that was open for subscription last month to raise Rs 9,375 crore received a brilliant response from investors. Retail individual investors subscribed for 96.52 crore shares as against 12.96 crore offered to them. This is 7.45 times the shares that were reserved for them. On the other hand, the shares reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) comprising foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic financial institutions were oversubscribed by 51.79 times.

This food-delivery app has become a household name over the past few years. With the onset of the pandemic, more and more people now prefer getting the food delivered at their home or office in order to avoid eating out at a public place. The company's revenue has seen a big jump in the last three years. It has grown at a whopping 62.3 per cent CAGR. Zomato also claims that users who had joined its platform in 2018 have collectively increased their spending by more than 2.4 times over the past three years. This has helped the company decrease its advertising expenses as well. While these points were enough for a perfect IPO recipe, the timing of the IPO could not have been better than this, as the stock market has been on an exorbitant bull run.

But surprisingly, the IPO got a tepid response from the employees of Zomato. 65 lakh shares were reserved for Zomato's employees and out of this, only 40.5 lakh got subscribed. This is just 62 per cent. It would be interesting to know why the company insiders were less enthusiastic and the subscription was less than two-thirds of the shares offered, while the other segment of the investors oversubscribed many times. But that is a discussion for some other day. We are here to check which mutual fund schemes have been invested in the IPO.

As per the month-end portfolio disclosures, 125 mutual fund schemes across 20 Value Research fund categories had exposure in Zomato as on July 31, 2021. The 'flexi-cap' category has the maximum number of funds. Although 22 fund houses hold exposure in Zomato, the top five fund houses account for 54 per cent of the total shares worth Rs 4,512 crore held by the mutual fund industry.

Out of the 125 schemes, only five are closed-end and account for only Rs 53 crore. Although a sizeable number of open-end schemes have exposure in Zomato, only 39 of them have a portfolio allocation of more than 1 per cent, with only 12 of them crossing the mark of 2 per cent. Remember that this data is based on the month-end portfolio disclosures and would exclude any scheme or fund house that did receive an allotment of Zomato's shares but exited completely before the last day of July, probably to benefit from the listing gains. Here is the complete list of open-end mutual fund schemes having exposure of more than 1 per cent in Zomato.
