MFs' equity buying in August surges to 10-month high
September 05, 2025
|Business Standard
Investments in equity mutual funds (MFs) remained elevated in August after hitting a record high of ₹42,702 crore in July, going by the sharp increase in secondary market purchases by fund managers.
MFs ramped up their equity investments in August, with net purchases surging to ₹70,500 crore—the second-highest monthly tally on record. The only higher deployment was seen in October 2024, when equity buying touched ₹90,770 crore, the highest ever for a single month.
The quantum of net equity buying by MFs depends on several factors such as inflows and outflows from equity (including passive) and hybrid schemes, changes in equity allocation in hybrid schemes, and changes in cash holdings.
