SBI Mutual Fund continues to be the country’s largest asset management company with assets under management of ₹12.74 lakh crore as of December 31, 2025. The fund house manages a diversified equity portfolio with a clear preference for large-cap leaders, particularly in the banking and financial services sector, according to a recent analysis by Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

HDFC Bank Remains the Largest Exposure

HDFC Bank continued to be the biggest holding for SBI Mutual Fund with a weight of 9.1% in December. However, the allocation saw a marginal reduction of 0.3% compared with the previous month.

Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank

Reliance Industries remained the second major bet with a portfolio weight of 5.9%, though the exposure declined by 0.1% from November. ICICI Bank followed with a 5.3% allocation, witnessing a 0.2% dip in weight. 

Telecom and IT in Focus

Bharti Airtel held a 3.3% share in the portfolio with no change from the previous month, underlining stable conviction in the telecom major. SBI Mutual Fund also maintained a 3.2% allocation each in State Bank of India and Infosys, with weights remaining steady during December.

Additions in Kotak Mahindra Bank

Larsen & Toubro and Kotak Mahindra Bank accounted for 2.8% and 2.7% respectively. While L&T’s weight was unchanged, the fund house added around 6.58 lakh shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank, leading to a 0.1% increase in its allocation. Axis Bank and ITC followed with weights of 2.3% and 1.9%, both remaining stable month on month.

Conclusion

SBI Mutual Fund’s December portfolio shows a balanced approach with dominance of banking majors and selective exposure to energy, telecom and IT. Minor reductions in HDFC Bank, Reliance and ICICI Bank suggest tactical rebalancing rather than a shift in strategy. The steady allocations across most holdings highlight the fund house’s long-term conviction in India’s leading blue-chip companies.
