Equity-Fund Flows Decline While SIPs Stay Resilient in India
In October, India’s equity mutual funds recorded inflows of ₹24,690 crore, marking a 19 % decline from the previous year amid cautious investor sentiment and volatile markets. In contrast, SIP contributions rose to ₹29,529 crore, indicating consistent long-term retail engagement. Meanwhile, debt schemes gathered about ₹1.6 lakh crore, signalling a shift toward liquid and overnight instruments. 
Fund houses interpreted the trend as a defensive allocation stance ahead of key macro releases; however, diversification within equity mandates continued via flexicap and sectoral categories.

Flexicap and diversified equity categories continued to attract consistent SIP registrations, supported by long-term allocation strategies and improved digital onboarding. Market participants viewed the stability in SIP flows as a sign of maturing investor behaviour, even as near-term volatility prompted caution in lump-sum purchases. 
Fund houses expect steady SIP momentum to continue, particularly as retail participation deepens across new financial centres.

Shift to Debt Funds as Equity Inflows Slow in October
Equity mutual fund inflows fell 19% in October to ₹24,690 crore as investors turned cautious amid heightened market volatility. In contrast, debt schemes attracted ₹1.6 lakh crore, signaling a notable move toward liquid and overnight categories. Analysts attributed the shift to tightening liquidity, tax considerations, and temporary risk aversion. Flexicap and sectoral funds continued to receive selective inflows, but the broader trend pointed to defensive allocation strategies. 
Fund managers expect flows to stabilise as clarity emerges around interest-rate expectations and macroeconomic indicators.
