MUMBAI – Inlows into systematic investment plans moderated marginally to INR 309.54 billion in May from INR 311.15 billion in April, Venkat Chalasani, chief executive of the Association of Mutual Funds in India, said in a conference call on Wednesday. This was mainly due to a cautious approach from investors towards SIPs on the back of global uncertainties, Chalasani said. 

 

"Long-term growth story, if we look at GDP forecast, everything is intact and people are believing in long-term growth story...we have seen resilience and continued inflows into the SIP market." SIP assets stood at INR 17.12 trillion in May.    

 

The industry added 5.42 million SIP folios in May, higher than 5.07 million new SIP folios in April. SIP folios matured or discontinued in May were at 5.12 million, while 5.13 million folios were discontinued in April.

 

Meanwhile, assets under specialised investment funds were at INR 138.14 billion in May, up 12% on month. These funds received INR 13.96 billion during the month, driven by hybrid investment strategy and equity-oriented investment strategy.

 

Commenting on the negative flows seen in debt funds, Chalasani said firm yields on government securities in May led to net outflows. However, the measures taken by the government and the Reserve Bank of India on Friday to attract foreign flows into the debt market are likely to attract foreign inflows into debt funds, he said.  

 

"There are so many measures that have been taken by both by the government of India and the Reserve Bank of India to attract the FIIs flows into the G-Secs," Chalasani said. "We have seen the yields slightly coming off. So we would be seeing there is a possibility of attraction of FII flows into the debt funds and particularly into the G-Secs."  End
