Commenting on these numbers, N S Venkatesh, CEO, AMFI said, “There is robust growth in new SIP account opening. SIP is here to stay and when the broader markets show performance we see SIP outperforming.”
“For equity funds, we see the growth is mirroring the markets. Going forward, if the equity markets start showing growth, we should see positive upward trend in mutual funds too,” he added.
Debt fund
On the debt front, most categories witnessed outflows. Liquid funds, which are often used by institutional investors to park money, witnessed significant outflows. N S Venkatesh said liquid funds have seen redemptions, as this is a usual phenomenon at every quarter end for advance tax.

Overall, industry recorded outflows of Rs.1.51 lakh crore in September. This was largely because of outflows of Rs.1.41 lakh crore in liquid fund category.
