Equity mutual funds recorded a strong rebound in November, with inflows rising 21 percent month‑on‑month to Rs 29,911 crore, according to the latest data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This marks a significant improvement in investor sentiment after a period of cautious participation in the equity markets.
The sharp rise from October’s Rs 24,690 crore highlights renewed confidence among retail investors, supported by resilient market performance and sustained interest in diversified equity categories.
Key Highlights from November Data
- Equity inflows rose to Rs 29,911 crore, a 21 percent jump from October.
- Total mutual fund industry AUM increased to Rs 80.5 lakh crore for open‑ended schemes.
- Equity AUM climbed to Rs 35.66 lakh crore, up from Rs 35.39 lakh crore in October.
- Flexi‑cap funds led the inflows with Rs 8,135 crore.
- Large & mid‑cap funds saw a strong rise to Rs 4,503 crore.
- Mid‑cap and small‑cap funds continued to attract heavy interest, with Rs 4,486 crore and Rs 4,406 crore respectively.
- Value and contra funds posted a sharp jump, recording Rs 1,219 crore in inflows.
- Debt funds witnessed net outflows of Rs 25,692 crore, reversing the previous month’s inflows.
- Hybrid fund inflows softened to Rs 13,299 crore.
Why Equity Inflows Strengthened
The rise in equity inflows can be attributed to several supportive factors:
- Improving market sentiment after months of consolidation.
- Strong performance in mid‑cap and small‑cap segments.
- Continued SIP participation, even though monthly SIP inflows dipped slightly.
- Broad‑based buying across categories, reflecting diversified investor interest.
Despite global uncertainties, domestic investors remained optimistic about long‑term equity prospects, contributing to the robust inflow numbers.
Category‑Wise Trends
Flexi‑cap funds continued to dominate, reflecting investor preference for manager‑driven allocation flexibility. Large & mid‑cap funds saw a notable rise, indicating growing confidence in balanced exposure across market segments. Mid‑cap and small‑cap funds remained strong favourites, supported by consistent performance and retail enthusiasm.
Debt funds, however, faced significant outflows as investors adjusted portfolios amid shifting interest‑rate expectations and liquidity movements.
Industry Outlook
With equity AUM rising and inflows strengthening, the mutual fund industry enters the final month of the year on a positive trajectory. If market stability continues and global cues remain supportive, analysts expect equity inflows to remain healthy heading into early 2026.
