Retail investors’ inflow to mutual funds spiked 40% in the past year, AMFI data shows.

The latest data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) for February highlights a significant surge in retail investor engagement in mutual funds. Individual investors have witnessed a remarkable 40% increase in assets, reaching US$ 395.1 billion (Rs. 32.87 lakh crore) in February 2024 compared to US$ 281.8 billion (Rs. 23.44 lakh crore) in the previous year. Concurrently, institutional assets rose by 25.54%, reaching US$ 260.4 billion (Rs. 21.66 lakh crore) in February 2024. Overall, the Indian mutual fund industry’s assets have soared from US$ 489.1 billion to US$ 655.4 billion (Rs. 40.69 trillion to Rs. 54.52 trillion) over the past year, reflecting a substantial 34% increase.

A notable trend observed is the preference for equity-oriented schemes among individual investors, with 84% of their assets allocated to such schemes. In contrast, institutional investors favor liquid, debt-oriented schemes and ETFs/FOFs. This data underscores the growing influence of retail investors in the mutual fund landscape, as evidenced by the rise in their proportion of assets from 57.6% in February 2023 to 60.3% in February 2024.
