Investments through participatory notes (P-notes) in Indian markets -- equity, debt, hybrid securities and derivatives -- stood at Rs 48,006 crore until March 2020 amid high volatility in broader markets on concerns over coronavirus-triggered recession. The decline in fund inflow through P-notes comes after two successive months of positive investments.
Of the total Rs 48,006 crore invested through the route, Rs 37,859 crore was invested in equities, Rs 9,889 crore in debt, Rs 153 crore in the derivatives segment and Rs 104 crore in hybrid securities. This was the lowest level of investment since October 2004, when the total value of P-note investments in Indian markets stood at Rs 44,586 crore.
P-notes investment stood at Rs 67,281 crore and Rs 68,862 crore at the end of January and February respectively. P-notes are issued by registered foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to overseas investors who wish to be part of the Indian stock market without registering themselves directly. They, however, need to go through a due diligence process.
