Sample post: How we plan to read FII and DII flow data
A sample article showing the format of ArthDrishti analysis. It explains our methodology for reading institutional flows and contains no market data.
This is a sample post. It demonstrates the layout and tone of ArthDrishti analysis and contains no real market data, prices or statistics. Nothing here is investment advice.
Why institutional flows matter
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs, also referred to as FPIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs, such as mutual funds and insurers) together account for a large share of activity in Indian cash equities. Watching how each group behaves over time can add useful context to price action, but flows on their own do not predict where prices will go.
What we will look at
When live coverage begins, a typical flow note will walk through:
- Daily net activity of FIIs and DIIs in the cash segment, as published by the exchanges.
- Rolling context, for example how recent activity compares with the past few weeks, rather than reacting to a single session.
- Derivatives positioning, such as FII long/short exposure in index futures, which can differ from what the cash numbers suggest.
- Cross-checks against market breadth and sector performance, so a single data series is never read in isolation.
How we will present data
- Every figure will name its source and as-of date.
- Provisional numbers will be labelled as provisional.
- Charts and tables will favour plain explanations over jargon.
What we will not do
- We will not give buy, sell or hold calls.
- We will not offer tips, targets or “sure-shot” trades.
- We will not present opinions as facts.
Key takeaway
Institutional flow data is one lens among many. ArthDrishti aims to explain what the data says, where it comes from and what its limits are, so that readers can form their own informed views.
