Equity mutual funds see higher redemption as investors book profits in October
Equity mutual fund categories experienced an 8.8 percent rise in redemption activity during October, reflecting investor profit booking amid elevated market valuations. Fund managers noted that while SIP inflows remained healthy, lump-sum purchases moderated as participants reassessed near-term risk appetite. The shift in flows suggests that investors opted to protect gains accumulated over recent months. Analysts added that redemption patterns remain aligned with market cycles, especially when indices trade near record levels. 
Despite the activity, overall industry participation continues to be supported by disciplined monthly contributions.
