She faced sentencing after being found guilty of defrauding investors and endangering patients. According to media reports, she will have to report to prison on April 27, 2023, and will have an additional three years of supervised release once she's out from the prison. Judge Edward Davila declared that the charges she had been found guilty of made her responsible for defrauding 10 victims out of $121 million, according to The New York Times.

According to Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, PRIME Database Group, this further showcases the rise of domestic investors and the huge counter balancing role they have played to foreign investors. To also put this in perspective, as on March 31, 2015, FPI share was 23.30 per cent while the combined share of DII, retail and HNI was just 18.47 per cent.

Data from NSDL showed that FPIs investment in equity were Rs 51,204 crore as compared to inflows of Rs 4,989 crore in the previous month. While, in September the inflows are around Rs 4,260 crore. The last time when investment was high was on December 2020 worth Rs 62,016 crore. "FPIs invested Rs 47,296 crorein equity in August through stock exchanges.

"There is a complete reversal of FPI activity in the Indian stock market. FPI who were relentless sellers in the Indian market from October 2021 to June 2022 turned net buyers in July and the buying continues in August, so far. The change in FPI strategy has imparted strength to the recent market rally," said Dr V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

The last quarter alone saw a near 90 bps rise in domestic ownership while FPI ownership of sample of 75 companies fell 84 bps QoQ. At 25.6 per cent ownership of India's largest 75 companies, domestic investors are now larger holders than FPIs for the first time since 2010, the report said. Average sector positions went higher in the latest quarter led by domestic institutions albeit FPIs continue to run more active portfolios.

The last time that the FIIs bought on a net basis for the year was in 2019 and 2020 when they invested Rs 40,000 crore and Rs 64,000 crore, respectively. At this time, domestic institutions also bought 42,000 crore in 2019 but sold 36,000 crore in 2020. In 2021, FIIs sold Rs 93,000 crore while domestic funds bought 95,000 crore.

With share owners remaining marginal setters of price with their persistent bid, domestic investors are about to become larger holders of Indian equities than FPIs for the first time since 2010. This shift in holdings persisted for the March quarter 2022, it said. Average sector positions went a tad higher in the latest quarter after multiple quarters of decline.
