Venkatesh, Chief Executive, AMFI: "Steady Y-o-Y as also Q-o-Q rise in average AUMs for the MF industry during the July to Sep tember 2020 quarter at Rs 27.74 lakh crore is reflective of continued confidence of growing number of investors in Mutual Fund as an asset class for fulfilling long term wealth creation objective."
