Market Performance
Optimistic View
Industry players are positive about the growth of inflows into SIPs, which continue to rise and contribute to the rebound of the equity markets.
Cautious View
Investors are experiencing NFO fatigue, and several thematic NFOs have not garnered significant flows this year, leading to a slight dip in market returns.
Investor Behavior
Optimistic View
Investors are sticking to their SIPs in large market cap categories, indicating a structural rebound in retail participation.
Cautious View
The slight dip in inflows is due to lower market returns of around 8-10% in 2024 and 2025, and investors are being more selective with their investments.
