Equity markets continued their recovery from March lows and rose around 9% in July. However, investors in mutual funds reduced the inflows to equity funds and sought safer schemes such as high quality debt funds and gold funds.
To understand how MFs are dealing with these redemption pressure in equity funds, take a look at what went in and went out last month.
Large cap
