Net inflows into equity mutual funds rose 26.5% to Rs 28,973.41 crore in June. This rise was due to strong buying by retail investors. Mid-cap funds remained the first choice of investors, with investments worth Rs 6,090.17 crore.
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [भारत]July 10 (ANI): Net inflows into equity mutual funds increased sharply in June 2026. This was due to continuous participation by retail investors and strong buying in large, mid and small-cap categories.
Net inflows into equity-oriented schemes rose to Rs 28,973.41 crore in June from Rs 22,907.77 crore in May, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi). This is an increase of approximately 26.5 percent month-on-month.
Strong investment in mid and small-cap funds
Among the diversified equity category, mid-cap funds continued to attract the most investor interest. Net inflows into mid-cap funds increased to Rs 6,090.17 crore in June from Rs 4,385.06 crore in May. This is an increase of approximately 38.9 percent. Small-cap funds also saw strong demand from investors, where net inflows increased to Rs 5,601.96 crore this month, compared to Rs 4,945.57 crore in May. This represents an increase of approximately 13.3 percent. Investment sentiment in large-cap funds also improved, where net inflows increased to Rs 2,067.48 crore in June from Rs 1,592.93 crore in the previous month. This is an increase of approximately 29.8 percent.
These figures show that despite high valuations in the market, retail investors continued to pour in money across all market capitalisations. While mid-cap funds remained the favourite, the pickup in large-cap inflows also indicates that investors also looked for relatively stable investment avenues amid market volatility.
Growth seen in other equity categories also
Good growth was also recorded in other equity categories during June. Flexi-cap funds attracted net inflows of Rs 5,231.31 crore, slightly higher than May’s Rs 5,175.54 crore. Inflows into large and mid-cap funds came at Rs 4,321.32 crore, up from Rs 3,278.22 crore in the previous month, while inflows into multi-cap funds increased to Rs 3,070.26 crore from Rs 2,291.01 crore.
Overall, growth/equity-oriented mutual fund schemes attracted net inflows of Rs 28,973.41 crore in June, compared with Rs 22,907.77 crore in May. This reflects the continued confidence among retail investors despite volatile market conditions. Assets under management (AUM) of this category also increased to Rs 37.34 lakh crore at the end of June, which was Rs 36.14 lakh crore a month ago. This reflects both fresh inflows and mark-to-market gains. (ANI)
