|February 13, 2025
Investors in Indian mutual funds pivoted towards the safety of largecap stocks and gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January as markets turned volatile, data released on Wednesday showed.
Inflows into mutual fund schemes investing in largecap stocks jumped 52.3% to ₹3,063 crore in January, the second-highest monthly inflow on record, according to data by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
Gold ETFs witnessed the highest monthly inflows ever in January at ₹3,751 crore, the data showed.
Overall inflows into equity mutual funds declined 3.6% month-on-month to ₹39,688 crore ($4.57 billion) from ₹41,156 crore in December 2024.
Investments in local mutual funds have held steady so far, totaling $18.42 billion since October 2024 and helping stabilize markets as foreign investors withdrew ₹1.8 lakh crore ($20.72 billion).
