Should mutual funds hold cash in rising equity market? 's Deepak Shenoy says NO. Abhinav Kaul of moneycontrol.com Personal Finance caught up with Deepak Shenoy and here his key takeaways: Shenoy shared that he will start thinking about cash allocation if and when the market falls 10 percent. “At 20 percent, we will look to operate on the cash front.” Shenoy’s stand is in contrast with that of some other asset management companies (AMCs), which have been witnessing rising cash allocations over the past three months. As per Prime Database, average cash holding of the mutual fund industry stood at 5.51 percent as of end August, up from 4.78 percent in July and  4.36 percent as of June end. According to Shenoy, cash calls should be taken when the market has fallen, or is falling instead of going up. Sectors that Shenoy is looking at the moment: "defence, manufacturing, railways, infrastructure, domestic consumption, and financialisation spaces are not heavily valued." About charges of manipulation in the SME space, Shenoy said that he doesn’t invest in that domain and that enforcement levels are very low against badly behaved promoters. “Hopefully, that will change,” he added.
