Jul 15, 2021

Equity mutual funds continued to attract investors in the month of June 2021 as Indian share markets hit record highs.

However, the participation was not as high as seen in the month of May as investors booked some profits.

Net inflows into equity mutual fund schemes fell by half in June 2021 from the previous month and stood at Rs 46.1 bn in June.

This compared with Rs 92.4 bn in May 2021.

The contribution of monthly systematic investment plan (SIP) increased marginally to Rs 91.6 bn in June, an all-time high, from Rs 88.2 bn in May 2021.

It must be noted that prior to March 2021, the equity segment did witness net outflows for eight continuous months.

With net inflows in the recent four months, investors are gaining conviction on Indian equity markets.
