SBI MF has mopped up over Rs.13,000 crore through its balanced advantage fund NFO. This is the highest collection of this year by an open-ended scheme.
With this feat, SBI MF has managed to break ICICI Prudential MF's record of collecting Rs.9,808 crore through its flexicap fund NFO.
The NFO started on August 12 and ended on August 25.
The collection, according to the fund house, is the result of several factors including SWP feature, broad-basing and contribution from every distribution channel. "Money has flown in from across India. In fact, the collections from tier-II towns is higher than metros. In addition, there is demand for balanced advantage funds amid a record rally in the market. In addition, the SWP feature helped the NFO attract lump sum investments," a spokesperson of the fund house said.
