Equity MF Inflows Dip Amid Market Volatility

In December 2025, investors in India saw a decline in equity mutual fund inflows, which dropped by 6% to ₹28,054 crore.

This happened because many investors decided to take out their money, especially from debt funds, which saw large withdrawals.

Despite this, flexi-cap funds, which allow managers to invest in different types of companies, attracted a lot of interest with ₹10,019 crore in inflows.

Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also saw a big increase in inflows, rising over 200% to ₹11,647 crore, as people looked for safer investments.

The total amount managed by mutual funds slightly decreased to ₹80.23 lakh crore.

Investors also continued to put money into systematic investment plans (SIPs), showing confidence in long-term investments.

Overall, the mutual fund industry grew by nearly 20% in 2025, reflecting increased participation and adoption of mutual funds across investor segments.
