Mumbai: Active Equity Mutual Fund (MF) schemes closed the fiscal year 2024-25 (FY 25) with a record breaking arrival-more than twice as seen in the last year-because the fund houses took advantage of the market’s strong emotions, especially in the first half of the year.
Despite the fluctuations in the market, investors’ confidence remained strong, which made the administration (AUM) 23 % significant for the overall assets. Although the current equity schemes continued to see the strong interest of investors during the market rally, the new fund launches increased significantly.
According to reports, only fresh offerings brought Rs 85,000 crore in the total equity MF Kitty for the financial year 25.
During the year, 70 new active equity schemes were developed, most of which are focused in the action sector and thematic category.
The Fund Houses also extended their offerings by adopting a passive investment strategy in these thematic places, and met the growing demand for investors.
According to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds (AMFI) in India last week, a key driver in the growth was a sharp rise in SIP partnerships, which reached Rs 2.63 lakh crore from April to February – which is more than Rs 1.99 lakh crore in fiscal year 24.
In March alone, the arrival of SIP reached Rs 25,926 crore, which played a vital role in the AUM of the Mutual Fund Industry, which reached a historic height of Rs 65.74 lakh crore – jumping from Rs 64.53 lakh crore in February. Equity AUM alone extended a monthly monthly monthly monthly monthly, up from Rs 27.4 lakh crore to Rs 29.5 lakh crore.
The Flaxi Cap Funds guided the arrival of Rs 5,615 crore, followed by small cap funds that produce Rs 4,092 crore-which reflects permanent retail interest in diverse and high growth opportunities.
The AMFI report said on April 11 that the Midcap Funds also saw a stable arrival of Rs 3,438 crore, while profitable funds doubled their traction to Rs 140.5 crore during the month.
Although most of the Equity Fund’s category has been recorded, healthy arrival is recorded, the major cap funds face Rs 2,479 crore emission, though the withdrawal speed has decreased from Rs 2,866 crore in February.
