Gold and silver mutual funds in India saw their combined assets surpass ₹1 lakh crore, underscoring heightened interest in safe-haven themes amid global macro uncertainty. Investors continued allocating to precious metal funds as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risk, strengthening multi-asset diversification trends across retail and institutional portfolios. Persistent volatility in equities and rising dollar strength have boosted demand for metals-focused products, further broadening India’s passive and thematic Mutual Funds landscape.

Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have cumulatively infused nearly ₹54,321 crore into Indian equities through November, while Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) remain net sellers with estimated outflows of around ₹13,841 crore. The data highlights diverging investor behaviour: retail and domestic institutions continue to anchor the market even as global uncertainty and tech valuation concerns trigger external selling. Analysts note that resilient domestic flows could help cushion volatility ahead of major global events.
