MUMBAI – The mutual fund industry saw net inflows of INR 2.77 trillion in April, against a net outflow of INR 1.64 trillion in March, data released Friday by the Association of Mutual Funds in India showed. The industry's assets under management were at INR 70.00 trillion as of Apr. 30, up 6.5% from the previous month. 

 

Net inflows into debt schemes were at INR 2.19 trillion in April, with its assets under management at INR INR 17.57 trillion as of Apr. 30. The high inflows in debt funds were cyclical in April and on expected lines, AMFI Chief Executive Venkat Nageswar Chalasani said in a media call.

 

Within debt funds, inflows into liquid funds were at INR 1.19 trillion in April, compared with an outflow of INR 1.33 trillion in March. The net assets under management of liquid funds rose to INR 5.60 trillion as on Apr. 30. Money market funds saw the second highest inflows of INR 315.07 billion. Utra short duration funds saw inflows of INR 267.34 billion, the data showed. 

 

"FPI flows coming into the debt category. There is a possibility that yields will come down and the prices will move up, which will be a very positive for the people who are investing into this particular space. And therefore, you might see some good traction in the debt component," Chalasani said.

 

Gilt funds saw the maximum outflows within debt funds in April, with investors withdrawing INR 4.25 billion. Credit risk funds saw outflows of INR 3.02 billion. 

 

Open-ended equity funds saw net inflows of INR 242.69 billion in April, slightly lower than the INR 250.82 billion witnessed in March. The net assets under management of equity funds rose 3.8% on month to INR 30.58 trillion as on Apr. 30. 

 

Chalasani said that in the short term geopoliticial conditions are likely to bring volatility in the equity market. "I believe, there will be volatility because of the geopolitical tension, but having said that, our expectation is that the long-term growth story will be there for the country and that's not yet a problem but then short-term volatility is expected," Chalasani said. 

 

Within equity funds, inflows in flexi cap funds were the highest at INR 55.42 billion, on similar lines as March. Small cap funds saw inflows near INR 40 billion, also largely unchanged from the previous month. 

 

The net assets under management of hybrid funds rose to INR 9.15 trillion as on Apr. 30 from INR 8.83 trillion on Mar. 31. Chalasani said that hybrid funds tend to attract more inflows in periods of volatility. "Whenever there is volatility, there are two things that happen, one, a bit of a dullness in the month of March and second thing is people move towards hybrid funds. And that's the reason why we have seen a decent growth in the hybrid funds," Chalasani said.

 

Net inflows into hybrid fund were at INR 142.48 billion in April. Within hybrid funds, arbitrage funds saw the highest inflows at INR 117.90 billion in April. On other side, gold exchange traded funds saw an outflow for the second consecutive month. The outflows from gold funds were at INR 58.2 million in April. Chalasani said that the outflows were majorly on account of investors taking profit due to a surge in gold prices during the month. 

 

Systematic investment plans saw inflows of INR 266.32 billion in April, higher than INR 259.26 billion in the previous month. The number of portfolios discontinued or portfolios that matured rose sharply to 13.6 million in April from 5.1 million in March. Chalasani said that the focus should be on total number of contributing accounts which rose to 83.8 million in April from 81.1 million in March.  End
