Mutual fund assets approach Rs 80 trillion as markets lift valuations
Mutual fund AUM rose sharply on market gains, though analysts warn long-term growth depends on sustained investor inflows.
India’s mutual fund industry recorded a sharp rise in assets under management, nearing the Rs 80 trillion mark in October.The growth came from market appreciation rather than fresh investor inflows, highlighting the impact of rising equity prices. Smallcap and midcap schemes benefited disproportionately from mark-to-market gains. Industry experts cautioned that sustained AUM expansion will depend on consistent inflows rather than short-term market rallies alone.
