Mutual fund houses added close to 19 lakh investor accounts in April-May of 2017-18, taking the total tally to a record 5.72 crore, driven by growing interest from retail and HNI investors alike.
This is on top of 77 lakh folios added in the entire past fiscal and 59 lakh in the preceding financial year.
In the two years, investor accounts went up following robust contribution from smaller towns.
