Equity mutual fund inflows rise to ₹38,306 crore in September
In short
Equity mutual funds took in ₹38,306 crore in September, up 31% from the previous month, according to AMFI data. SIP inflows also hit a record ₹32,490 crore, with small-cap and mid-cap funds drawing the most money.
This matters because investors kept putting money into equity funds even when the stock market was weak. The reporting also says debt fund withdrawals pulled overall industry flows into negative territory.
