Redemptions in active equity mutual funds (MFs) hit a 20-month high in May as investors booked profits amid a sustained market rally.
Investors pulled out Rs 27,569 crore last month, the highest since September 2021, when equity MF units worth Rs 27,979 crore were redeemed. As a result, net inflows into equity schemes declined to a six-month low of Rs 3,240 crore in May, data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) showed on Friday.
