The Indian mutual fund sector recorded another b performance in June 2025. According to the latest data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), mutual fund schemes witnessed positive net inflows for the 52nd consecutive month. A total net investment of ₹23,568 crore was recorded in equity funds in June, a significant increase from ₹18,994 crore in May.
AUM Nears ₹75 Lakh Crore
The industry's total Assets Under Management (AUM) reached a record level of ₹74.5 lakh crore in June 2025. This reflects an increase of approximately ₹2.3 lakh crore from May's ₹72.2 lakh crore. According to AMFI, the total investment figure in June exceeded ₹49,000 crore, compared to around ₹29,000 crore in May.
Decline in ELSS, Growth in Other Segments
While investors showed interest in most equity segments, the tax-saving scheme, Equity Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS), saw a net outflow of ₹556 crore in June. This was the only category where investors withdrew funds.
Gold ETFs Attract Investor Attention
The rising price of gold in June was reflected in Gold ETFs. This segment saw a net inflow of ₹2,081 crore, while in May, the investment was only ₹292 crore. According to market analysts, investors are now considering gold as an important option to diversify their portfolios.
Money Withdrawn from Debt Funds
Talking about debt funds, a net outflow of ₹1,711 crore was observed in June. However, this figure is significantly lower compared to ₹15,908 crore in May. In April, a significant investment of ₹2.2 lakh crore was seen in debt funds, which was a record level.
Interest in Short-Term Fixed Income as well
According to market experts, investors seeking yield with safety are leaning towards short and medium-duration fixed-income funds. This makes it clear that investors are trying to strike a balance between balanced returns and security.
SIP Investments Touch a New High
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) figures also saw a rapid increase in June. Investments related to SIP crossed ₹27,300 crore for the first time, which is ₹600 crore more than May. Along with this, the number of SIP registrations also touched a record level.
Increased Investor Confidence
Akhil Chaturvedi, Executive Director of Motilal Oswal Asset Management, says that the increasing inflow in mutual funds indicates that the confidence of retail investors still remains. The month-on-month growth of ₹5,000 crore in net equity flow has stabilized the market.
Caution Regarding Mid and Small Caps, Flexi Cap Becomes a Priority
Analysts say that investors have prioritized Flexi Cap funds over mid and small-cap categories as this category provides the flexibility to invest in all segments of the market. This gives investors an opportunity to buy during a downturn.
Data Reflects a Strong Investment Trend
According to AMFI data, after a continuous decline in inflows for five months, a b surge was seen in equity funds for the first time in June. The decline in investment from December to April now seems to be stopping.
