Below the Comment on AMFI data by Naval Kagalwala, COO and Product Head, Shriram Wealth Ltd
While the month saw a net positive inflow of investors in Mutual Funds with 31.85 lakh new folios and a net inflow of Rs.52,443 crs., the MoM rate of growth was comparatively lower vs July. The new folios in August across Equity & Hybrid schemes was 21.88 lakhs, approx. 37% lower than July (34.69 lakhs). The net inflows in Equity & Hybrid schemes at Rs.48,724 crs in Aug was also about 24% lower vis-à-vis the Rs.63,582 crs net inflow in July. This is a likely result of a 2% fall in the Nifty 500 index in Aug’25 and a 5.5% decline over the last 12 months, driven by uncertainty due to tariffs, selling by FIIs, and stretched valuations amid weak earnings.
