According to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), the total net inflows across all mutual fund schemes stood at ₹40,063 crore in February, significantly lower than ₹1.88 lakh crore in January, indicating a sharp decline of ₹1.47 lakh crore.

Total AUM Falls by 7%

The total Assets Under Management (AUM) of mutual funds stood at ₹64.53 lakh crore in February, down 7% from ₹67.25 lakh crore in January. The drop in AUM reflects a broader market correction and reduced investor participation.

Equity Mutual Funds Remain in Positive Zone for 48th Month

Despite the decline, open-ended equity funds maintained positive net inflows for the 48th consecutive month, meaning investments continued to exceed withdrawals. Thematic, sectoral, and flexi-cap funds attracted the highest interest from investors.

SIP Contributions Also Decline

Investments through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) also saw a slight dip. In February, SIP contributions stood at ₹25,999 crore, slightly lower than ₹26,400 crore in January. While SIP inflows remain strong, this marginal dip reflects cautious investor sentiment.
