Apart from that, the fund seems to be very bullish on the pharmaceutical sector. It has picked up stocks like Sun Pharma, Aventis, Matrix and Nicholas Piramal. Stocks like Hero Honda and NTPC have also added around 2% of its "buys" in November.


Certain key exits that ABN had MoM, have been Bank of India and Centurion Bank. It has exited both these counters completely. Its holdings in these counters was around 2.19% and 1.67% respectively. Therefore, it is a mixed bag in terms of purchases and selling for the fund.


On the auto front, Bajaj Auto and Tata Motors have been exited. The fund had significant holdings of about close to 3% and 2.5% respectively, in both these stocks. It has also exited a lot of industrial player goods like Voltas and BHEL.


If one looks at the transportation space, then Jet Airways was a counter where the fund had a holding of about 2%. That is gone now. Suzlon, which had a listing of currently 2%, has gone completely out of their portfolio.


In terms of sectors, the fund is very bullish on steel. In the pharma sector, its holding has been upped from 5% to 14%. However, in the software space, the fund has decreased its holdings in value terms, from 20% to 15%. Therefore, the fund seems bullish on the pharma and steel sectors. It has also added Sesa Goa to their portfolio in November.
