NEW DELHI – The mutual fund industry recorded net outflows of INR 665.91 billion in December, the heaviest series of outflows since March, data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India Friday showed. Outflows from open-ended debt schemes rose to a nine-month high of INR 1.32 trillion in December, rising sharply from the INR 256.93 billion outflow in November and dragging down the overall number.
The industry had received net inflows of INR 327.55 billion in November. Total assets under management were INR 80.23 trillion end-December, compared with INR 80.80 trillion the previous month. Assets under management of open-ended debt schemes shrank to INR 18.10 trillion on Dec. 31 from INR 19.36 trillion on Nov. 30.
As is usual at the quarter, liquid and money market funds bore the brunt of the redemptions as banks and corporates shore up their cash balances. Investors took out INR 473 billion from open-ended liquid funds and INR 405 billion from open-ended money market funds in December.
The assets under management of liquid funds as of Dec. 31 fell to INR 5.03 trillion from INR 5.48 trillion in November. The outflows in December from money market funds brought down assets under management to INR 3.18 trillion, a fall of almost 11% on month.
Open-ended equity funds received net flows of INR 280.54 billion in December, down from INR 299.11 billion in November. Total assets under management of these funds rose to INR 35.73 trillion as of Dec. 31, up from INR 35.66 trillion a month ago. The flexi-cap segment of the open-ended equity funds received the highest net inflows of INR 100.19 billion, leading to a rise in its assets under management to INR 5.52 trillion as of Dec. 31 from INR 5.45 trillion at the end of November.
The net inflows in gold exchange-traded funds tripled on month to INR 116.47 billion in December from INR 37.42 billion in November, according to the data. The assets under management in gold ETFs rose nearly 15.3% on month to INR 1.28 trillion in December. Inflows into other exchange-traded funds rose to INR 131.99 billion, including nearly INR 40 bllion into silver exchange-traded funds.
"...people are moving to the safe haven...the two things what we witnessed is US Treasuries and the gold," AMFI Chief Executive Venkat Chalasani said in a conference call following the release. "And now, people are not putting in more into US Treasuries because of the panic reasons that all of us know. So people are moving towards gold. As long as the risk is there, the gold prices rise would continue. But once risk reduces...then there is a possibility of gold prices coming down."
December saw systematic investment plan inflows recovering to INR 310.02 billion, after falling slightly on month to INR 294.45 billion in November. At that time, AMFI management had said SIP flows would be pushed to December as the last two days of November were on the weekend. End
