MUMBAI – The mutual fund industry saw net outflow of INR 1.64 trillion in March, owing to outflows from debt schemes, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India on Friday. The industry's assets under management stood at INR 65.74 trillion as of Mar. 31, up 1.9% on month.
Debt schemes witnessed net outflows of INR 2.03 trillion in March, with all schemes reporting outflows for the month. Liquid funds saw the highest outflows at INR 1.33 trillion, followed by overnight funds at INR 300.16 billion. Assets held under debt schemes were at INR 15.21 trillion, down 11% on month.
On the other hand, equity schemes saw net inflow of INR 250.82 billion in March despite market volatility, with inflows seen by all schemes. Small-cap funds recorded net inflow of INR 40.92 billion, against INR 37.22 billion in February and the mid-cap fund category saw net inflow of INR 34.39 billion against INR 34.07 billion in February.
Net inflows into sectoral or thematic funds dropped significantly to INR 1.70 billion in March from INR 57.12 billion in February. The decline is likely due to a slowdown in new fund offerings. In March, there was just one new fund offer launched in sectoral or thematic funds, which garnered a mere INR 400.00 million. Overall assets under management under the equity fund category was INR 29.45 trillion as of Mar. 31, up 7.5% on month.
Inflows into equity went down during the month from INR 293.03 billion in February. The reduction is majorly due to high volatility in the market, AMFI Chief Executive Venkat Nageswar Chalasani said in a media call. He added that there would be volatility in the near term, but the industry would focus on taking steps for long-term growth.
In the hybrid fund category, there was a net outflow of INR INR 9.47 billion in March, with assets under management at INR 8.83 trillion as of Mar. 31. In this segment, arbitrage funds saw the highest outflows at INR 28.55 billion, whereas multi-asset allocation funds recorded the highest inflow at INR 16.70 billion.
Net outflows from gold exchange traded funds were INR 772.1 million and other-than-gold ETFs saw net inflow of INR 109.62 billion in March. Outflows from gold ETFs was a temporary blip and not a trend, Chalasani said.
The contribution of systematic investment plans was down marginally at INR 259.26 billion in March against INR 259.99 billion in February. Assets under management of systematic investment plans rose to INR 13.35 trillion from INR 12.38 trillion a month ago. During the month, 5.1 million systematic investment plan accounts were discontinued, Chalasani said.
In March, fund houses launched 30 new fund offers, which cumulatively collected INR 40.85 billion. The index fund category led new fund offers, with 11 launches during the month, followed by 10 for other-than-gold ETFs. End
