Yes Securities included one stock and excluded one from its portfolio. The domestic brokerage included SBI Life Insurance and excluded HDFC.

According to the brokerage report, SBI Life has significant potential to extract business out of the bancassurance channel. The company is also making inroads in the online channel. In terms of cost, it's ranked the best amongst peers in the industry.

"COVID has driven demand for both protection and savings. We expect the momentum to sustain in the near term," the report added further.

Meanwhile, in case of HDFC, it said that the sole reason to exclude the stock from the portfolio is to book profits.

The brokerage further increased weights on four stocks- Honeywell Automation (by 4.3 percent to 7 percent), Page Industries (by 2.2 percent to 7 percent), CCL (by 2.1 percent to 7 percent) and Nippon Life India Asset Management (by 1.4 percent to 5 percent).
