Equity Fund Flows Diverge as Debt Schemes Lead in October
Indian mutual fund inflows in October fell 19% for equity funds to ₹24,690 crore while debt funds drew ₹1.
In October, India’s equity mutual funds recorded inflows of ₹24,690 crore, down 19 % year-on-year, while debt funds attracted approximately ₹1.6 lakh crore amid investor caution and volatile markets. Systematic investment plans (SIPs) held steady, rising to ₹29,529 crore, underscoring long-term retail conviction. Managers noted a tilt toward liquid and overnight schemes as short-term yields remained attractive.
Analysts expect the current trend to persist until macro clarity emerges, particularly around interest rates and inflation data. The shift reflects a defensive posture amid global uncertainty.
