  • Secondly, the inflows into the equity category has also played a role in bolstering the industry’s growth..

In June 2023, the debt mutual fund category experienced a marginal decline in AUM of 0.1 percent when compared on a month-on-month basis. This decline followed two consecutive months of net inflows, as debt mutual fund schemes faced net outflows during June. The segment witnessed a net outflow of Rs 14,136 crore, with a significant portion attributed to liquid funds and ultra-short-duration funds, accounting for over Rs 30,000 crore in outflows. On the other hand, money market funds and short-duration funds saw net flows of Rs 10,185 crore.

These outflows were anticipated due to the nature of June being the quarter end, when corporates typically make advance tax payments. Additionally, the benchmark 10-year government securities (gsec) yield also experienced a notable increase of 1.7% in June 2023. This marks a shift from the preceding three months, which witnessed a continuous decline in yields.
