Equity funds posted net inflows for the 9th consecutive month, attracting net inflows of Rs. 6,324 crore in January against the backdrop of positive sentiment for the asset class. The CNX Nifty gained 6.35% in the month on positive domestic and international cues.

Balanced funds, which invest a major portion of their funds in equity, also benefited from the ongoing uptrend in the equity market as the category drew in Rs. 835 crore during the month.

Cyclical inflows into liquid funds provided the biggest boost to the overall AUM. Net inflows to the tune of Rs. 85,000 crore helped liquid funds become the biggest contributor to the industry AUM in the latest month. Cyclical inflows & mark-to-market gains boosted liquid funds’ AUM to Rs. 2.65 lakh crore.

A research report by ratings agency CRISIL said, “The historical trend has shown that quarter-end outflows in the category are reversed at the start of the quarter as banks and corporates re-invest the surplus funds they had withdrawn to meet quarter-ended reserve requirements and payment towards advance tax outflows, respectively.”

Income funds logged net inflows of Rs. 12,163 crore on falling yields aided by the surprise interest rate cut by the RBI.


Gilt funds saw net inflows for the 5th consecutive month, the category attracting net inflows of Rs. 1,813 crore.


2015 January saw the launch of 7 new equity schemes, one ELSS scheme and 21 new debt-linked income funds.
