According to Fund Folio report from Motilal Oswal Financial Services, In Sep’21, total MF industry AUM increased marginally (0.4% MoM) to Rs 36.7 trillion, led by a MoM increase in the AUM of equity funds (Rs 476 billion), other ETF funds (Rs 186 billion), and balanced funds (Rs 143 billion). Notably, liquid funds declined Rs 555 billion MoM. FII inflows were robust at USD 1.1 billion. DIIs saw inflows for the seventh consecutive month at USD 0.8 billion.
The month saw notable changes in the sector and stock allocation of funds. On a MoM basis, the weights of Utilities, Oil & Gas, Automobiles, Real Estate, PSU Banks, Consumer Durables, Retail, and Media increased, while those of Telecom, Metals, Private Banks, Healthcare, Technology, Cement, Insurance, and Chemicals moderated.
Investors continued to park money in mutual funds, with inflows and contributions in systematic investment plans (SIPs) crossing Rs 100 billion to reach new highs of Rs 103.5 billion in Sep’21 (up 4.3% MoM and 32.9% YoY). Equity AUM (including ELSS and index funds) of domestic MFs increased 3.7% MoM to Rs 13.3 trillion in Sep’21. This was on account of a rise in market indices (Nifty up 2.8% MoM) and an increase in equity scheme sales (up 11.5% MoM to Rs 409 billion). At the same time, redemptions increased 17.5% MoM to Rs 314 billion. Consequently, net inflows moderated to Rs 96 billion in Sep’21 from Rs 100 billion in Aug’21.
