Equity-oriented mutual fund schemes recorded a net inflow of ₹38,440 crore in April, representing a 5 percent decrease from the previous month, as reported by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) on Monday.
Additionally, monthly contributions through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) fell to ₹31,115 crore last month, down from ₹32,087 crore in March.
Overall, the mutual fund industry experienced a net infusion of ₹3.22 lakh crore in April, rebounding from an outflow of ₹2.4 lakh crore in March. This increase was predominantly driven by substantial inflows of ₹2.5 lakh crore into debt funds.
As a result of these inflows, the industry’s assets under management (AUM) surged to ₹81.92 lakh crore at the end of April, up from ₹73.73 lakh crore at the end of March.
Although equity inflows decreased from ₹40,450 crore in March to ₹38,440 crore in April, they remained higher than the ₹25,978 crore recorded in February.
While most fund categories demonstrated positive inflows, dividend yield and equity-linked savings scheme (ELSS) funds experienced slight outflows, attributed to profit booking and portfolio rebalancing activities.
Within the equity segment, flexi cap funds led with net inflows of ₹10,148 crore, followed by small cap funds at ₹6,886 crore and mid cap funds at ₹6,551 crore. Large cap funds also recorded inflows, amounting to ₹2,525 crore.
In a related development, gold exchange-traded funds attracted inflows of ₹3,040 crore during April, surpassing the ₹2,266 crore in March.
This data provides valuable insight into the trends shaping the mutual fund landscape as investors navigate market fluctuations.
