The Indian equity market has been on a downward journey over the last three weeks driven by domestic and global factors. Foreign institutional investors leaving in droves for the Shanghai and Hong Kong boards after the Chinese government announced stimulus measures, rising valuations of domestic mid- and small-cap stocks and escalating tensions in the Middle East that could disrupt oil supplies were but a few reasons. Market volatility gives fund managers the chance to find undervalued, high-quality stocks. Here are the top microcap stocks that were newly picked by active mutual fund managers in September. Stocks with a market capitalisation below Rs 4,000 crore are considered as microcaps. Market capitalisation mentioned in the below slides were BSE’s full market capitalisation.
