MF SIP inflows hit another high as AUM falls 5%
In short
SIP inflows into mutual funds reached another high. At the same time, total industry AUM fell 5% to ₹82.64 lakh crore from ₹87.08 lakh crore in August.
This matters because investors kept putting money into SIPs even as the market value of holdings slipped. The report says the reason was mark-to-market loss and ₹1.83 lakh crore of outflows from debt funds, but it does not give more detail.
What the reporting says
SIP inflows into mutual funds hit another high, while the industry’s assets under management fell 5% to ₹82.64 lakh crore from ₹87.08 lakh crore in August. The publisher-supplied summary links the decline to mark-to-market losses and ₹1.83 lakh crore of outflows from debt funds. The immediate effect is mixed: steady retail inflows, but weaker overall industry assets.
Why it matters
Mutual fund SIP collections stayed strong even as overall industry AUM dropped to ₹82.64 lakh crore from ₹87.08 lakh crore in August. The published summary says mark-to-market losses and ₹1.83 lakh crore of debt-fund outflows drove the decline. That means inflows were resilient, but portfolio values and debt-fund activity weighed on the industry. The reporting does not specify which fund categories supported SIP growth.
