Thematic, sectoral funds see big investor cool-off
Business Standard
|June 13, 2025
Investor interest in sectoral and thematic funds—the largest and riskiest equity mutual fund (MF) category—has waned in recent months following a nearly year-long period of strong inflows.
In calendar year 2025 so far, monthly inflows have been only a fraction of the investments seen in the previous year. These funds have garnered ₹19,000 crore during the January–May 2025 period, just 13 per cent of the ₹1.5 trillion inflows recorded in 2024.
According to MF distributors, the slump in inflows is due to two factors, both stemming from the equity market correction after September 2024. First, new fund offerings (NFOs), the key driver of inflows in 2024, have dried up in recent months. Second, subdued equity market sentiment has pushed investors towards relatively lower-risk equity offerings.
