MUMBAI, 11 MAY, 2022 (GPN): Quote of Mr. N S Venkatesh, Chief Executive, AMFI 

“Speaking on the April 2022 Monthly Mutual Fund data, Mr. N S Venkatesh, Chief Executive, AMFI said: “It has been a good start to new Fiscal FY23 with net flows for overall Mutual Funds schemes in the positive territory and continued positive equity flows for consecutive 12 months. Despite market volatility in April 2022, retail investor trust on Mutual Fund asset class continues to be strong, as reflected by the 36 per cent YoY rise to an all-time high retail AUMs.”

 

Going forward, we see Mutual Fund investors continue with their SIP mode of investments on Equity side, and reallocate their savings in debt funds more towards shorter duration schemes owing to recent hike in rates by RBI, Mr. Venkatesh said.”
