What Changes Did Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund Make in Its August Portfolio?
Analyzing stock additions, AUM shift, and sharp cash reduction trend
Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund’s August 2025 portfolio reveals notable changes in positioning. The fund now holds 19 key stocks with an AUM of ₹34,780 crore. Cash allocation has seen a significant reduction — from 17.72% in June to 17.96% in July and now sharply lower at 2.61% in August — indicating aggressive equity deployment.
This transition suggests a high-conviction phase, with managers shifting liquidity into high-growth midcap opportunities. The fund’s top holdings continue to reflect core exposure to India’s manufacturing, IT, and capital goods themes that have benefited from government-led infrastructure and PLI-driven momentum.
Among the largest positions, Dixon Technologies (₹2099999 shares) and Coforge (₹19750000 shares) remain strong performers, while Kalyani Jewellers and One 97 Communications (Paytm) showed notable increases in exposure — 19.8% and 80.25% respectively. The fund also introduced Eternal Ltd as a new holding with 10 lakh shares.

Weight concentration remains tight — top 10 holdings form nearly 70% of the portfolio. Dixon Technologies, Coforge, and Trent dominate with combined allocation exceeding 29% of AUM. The inclusion of capital goods and industrial names like KEI Industries, Polycab, and Tube Investments suggests continued faith in manufacturing growth and electrification themes.
Overall, the August reshuffle highlights a clear bias toward earnings visibility and liquidity rotation from cash to high-potential midcaps. Reduction in cash reserves signals the fund’s readiness to capture midcap momentum into the upcoming quarterly earnings season.
Midcap funds tend to amplify market trends, both on the upside and downside. Disciplined exposure management and valuation tracking remain key to navigating volatility.
