In recent years, the mutual fund industry in India has experienced a surge in growth. This is primarily attributed to the increasing population and wealth of the nation. Funds invested in mutual funds can provide income for those unable to work. This has increased the number of individuals willing to invest in mutual funds. Furthermore, the growing digital penetration, the emergence of smart cities, and the improvement in data speeds have also contributed to the shift of asset shares towards more diminutive towns and cities. The increase in retail contribution through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) indicates the level of digitalization in India.
The mutual fund AUM increased 77% post-Covid. While a large part of this increase can be attributed to the post-COVID bounce in the markets, it was also largely accounted for by fresh inflows into mutual funds. Furthermore, folios have also grown to provide a retail boost to the volumes. Given the macro mutual fund flow trends, this sub-trend doesn’t come as a surprise. The long-term and long-duration lock-in debt fund AUM increased significantly.
