New Delhi: Monthly systematic investment plan (SIP) numbers in India surged to Rs 24,508.73 crore in the month of September, up from Rs 23,547.34 crore in August, which is a 4 per cent increase, the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) data showed on Thursday.
The SIP contributions crossed the Rs 24,000 crore mark for the first time.
According to the monthly data released by the AMFI, the number of new SIPs registered in September stood at 6,638,857. The assets under management (AUM) of SIP reached an all-time high of Rs 13.81 lakh crore.
As per the AMFI data, the total number of SIP accounts reached a record 98.744 million against 96.136 million in August. Mutual fund folios reached an all-time high of 210,515,684 in September, the data showed.
Meanwhile, inflows into equity schemes dropped by 10 per cent to Rs 34,419 crore in September. Inflows into small-cap schemes stood at Rs 3,070 compared to Rs 3,209 crore in August.
In the July-September period, AUM of mutual funds surged by a record 12.3 per cent to Rs 66.2 lakh crore. This is the largest quarterly increase in mutual fund assets in the last five years in the country. The average AUM in the April-June period in 2024 was Rs 59 lakh crore.
According to AMFI data, there has been a record investment of Rs 1.6 lakh crore in debt funds in the period from July to August.
Meanwhile, investors from small cities in equities have rapidly increased in recent months. The number of new investor folios coming from smaller cities has been rising on a monthly basis. According to industry experts, the mutual fund industry is set to cross the 50-million unique investor base this year. The growth is expected due to sustained buoyancy in the equity market and a surge in new fund offerings (NFOs). The investor count may reach 100 million by 2030, with Rs 100 lakh crore in total AUM.
