Franklin Templeton reported positive net inflows for the 55th straight month, lifting total industry assets under management to ₹75.61 lakh crore by September 2025. Strong SIP participation, rising retail inclusion, and sustained demand for midcap and passive schemes supported the expansion. Fund analysts highlighted investor preference for disciplined long-term allocation and consistent returns. The trend underscores India’s maturing investment ecosystem and growing financial literacy, which together are driving broader participation in capital markets across metros and emerging towns alike.
