According to data of the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi), equity funds , which also include equity-linked saving schemes (ELSS), saw net inflows of Rs 20,362 crore in August, higher than Rs 12,727 crore in the preceding month.
"The correction in equity markets in August failed to dampen the spirits of investors as equity mutual funds saw accelerated net inflows in the month. A strong SIP book and 'dip buying' by investors resulted in strong net inflows in equity funds ," Bajaj Capital CEO Rahul Parikh said.
Kaustubh Belapurkar, Director (Manager Research) at Morningstar is of the view that last three years, especially 2016, have been characterised by large inflows into equity with increasing participation from retail investors.
"We have witnessed spectacular increase of flows into mutual funds , especially equity funds since demonetisation announcement. While this cannot solely be attributed to the effects of demonetisation, but to a culmination of the combined efforts of the entire industry value chain to reach out to the investors and educating them on the benefits of investing," he said.
The flow of money into formal economy post demonetisation has further helped in increasing the attractiveness of mutual funds as an investment avenue.
