There has been an increase of 4% in investment through Systematic Investment Plan i.e. SIP in September 2025. It increased to Rs 29,361 crore from Rs 28,265 crore in August. This is the first time that investment through mutual funds SIP has crossed Rs 29,000 crore in a month.
That means people are showing more interest in investing money in mutual funds through small investments. This information has been received from the latest data of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
Highest investment of Rs 8,363 crore in Gold ETFs
According to AMFI data, other schemes like index funds and ETFs saw a huge jump. Investments worth Rs 19,056 crore came in September, which is 67% more than Rs 11,436 crore in August. Gold ETFs received the highest investment of Rs 8,363 crore.
Decline in equity funds
However, inflows into equity mutual funds declined for the second consecutive month. Investments worth Rs 30,422 crore came in these funds in September, which is 9% less than Rs 33,430 crore in August. In September, maximum investment of Rs 5,085 crore came in midcap funds, while Rs 4,362 crore came in smallcap funds.
At the same time, the lowest investment of Rs 1,220 crore was made in sectoral and thematic funds in September. Money drained out of ELSS funds and dividend yield funds. There was a withdrawal of Rs 307 crore from ELSS funds and Rs 167 crore from dividend yield funds in September.
Huge withdrawal from debt funds
There was an outflow of Rs 1.01 lakh crore from debt mutual funds in September, which is more than the outflow of Rs 7,979 crore in August. Out of 16 sub-categories, only four saw inflows – overnight funds, medium to long duration funds, long duration funds and dynamic bond funds.
The highest investment of Rs 4,279 crore was made in overnight funds. The biggest loss was suffered by liquid funds, from where Rs 66,042 crore were withdrawn.
Investment in hybrid funds also decreased
Investments in hybrid mutual funds declined 39% to Rs 9,397 crore in September from Rs 15,293 crore in August. Among the six sub-categories, multi asset allocation funds saw the highest investment of Rs 4,982 crore. But money was withdrawn from conservative hybrid funds and arbitrage funds.
Talking about open-ended mutual funds, there was a withdrawal of Rs 42,815 crore in September, while an investment of Rs 52,501 crore was seen in August. That is, overall there was more tendency to withdraw money in the market.
Slight increase in AUM
Despite all this, total assets under management (AUM) of mutual funds increased by 0.57% to Rs 75.35 lakh crore in September, from Rs 74.93 lakh crore in August.
Confidence in mutual funds SIP increased
The increase in investment through SIP in September clearly shows that common investors have faith in mutual funds for the long term. But outflows from equity and debt funds and decline in hybrid funds suggest investors are becoming cautious given the market uncertainty. At the same time, increasing investment in gold ETFs and index funds shows a trend towards safe and diversified options.
