Equity mutual fund inflows rise 31% to ₹38,306 crore
In short
Equity mutual funds got ₹38,306 crore in net inflows in September, up 31% from August’s ₹29,329 crore, according to AMFI data released on Monday. Small-cap funds took in ₹9,039 crore and mid-cap funds got ₹7,835 crore.
This matters because investors kept buying even while the equity market was weak. It is still not clear whether this strong demand will continue.
What the reporting says
Equity mutual fund schemes attracted a net inflow of ₹38,306 crore in September, up 31% from August, according to AMFI data released on Monday. The flow was driven by strong investor interest in mid-cap and small-cap funds despite weak equity-market performance. Small-cap funds led with ₹9,039 crore, followed by mid-cap funds at ₹7,835 crore. The immediate question is whether the pace holds after the month’s market underperformance.
Why it matters
AMFI data show equity mutual funds drew ₹38,306 crore in net inflows in September, up from ₹29,329 crore in August. Small-cap and mid-cap schemes led the gains, while the reporting says investor interest stayed strong despite equity-market underperformance. That supports fund houses and market-linked savings products, but the sources do not say whether the trend will continue or what drove the buying beyond broad investor demand.
