Mutual Fund flows and takeaways for you

Mutual Funds (MFs) come in multiple categories, spanning equity, debt and hybrid structures. Tracking categories receiving more flows than others gives us a clue on what a majority of investors are preferring at a point in time. You have to gauge which category is suitable for your risk appetite and time horizon.

Two categories have been excluded from this analysis. One is Sectoral/Thematic Funds since the AMFI data for this category is a cumulation of multiple sub-categories from banking to infrastructure to pharma and is not comparable with other single-strategy categories. The other exclusion is liquid funds, as this is dominated by corporate investors parking treasury money. Our data source for this piece is the AMFI Monthly Note.
