Eternal (formerly Zomato) emerged as mutual funds' top pick in August, attracting ₹7,200 crore, surpassing giants like Infosys and HDFC Bank. Several AMCs, including Aditya Birla Sun Life and Axis Mutual Fund, significantly added the stock, while SBI Mutual Fund reduced its holdings. Overall, equity mutual funds decreased cash balances, deploying funds into opportunities like Eternal's Ant Block deal.
