Equity MF inflows soar to near Rs 4 trn in 2024; outlook cautious for 2025

Equity mutual funds witnessed a remarkable surge in inflows to nearly Rs 4 lakh crore in 2024, more than double the amount recorded in the preceding year, reflecting strong investor confidence and a continued shift towards long-term investing, particularly through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs). Despite the strong performance in 2024, the outlook for 2025 appears cautious. The mutual fund industry has started to see a slowdown in equity fund flows since early December, a trend attributed to increased market volatility, Santosh Joseph, Co-founder and CEO of Germinate Investor Services, said. Historically, inflows into equity funds are closely tied to market performance, and periods of market uncertainty often result in subdued investor activity. "As a result, 2025 may witness muted activity in terms of new fund launches and equity fund mobilization especially as market volatility persists," Santosh Joseph, Co-founder and CEO of Germinate Investor Services, said. However, long-te

SBI chief pitches for institution to track funds raised by small businesses

State Bank of India chairman CS Setty on Friday pitched for the creation of a market infrastructure institution to track the end-use of funds borrowed or raised as equity by small businesses. A "viable mechanism" is needed to ensure that the funds are used for the intended purposes, Setty said in remarks which come amid heightened concerns on the subject of end-use of funds. "We will require a viable mechanism to track the actual use of these funds to ensure that the funds are utilised for the purposes they have been raised for, probably through the establishment of a separate market infrastructure institution with powers to track the use of borrowed funds or the funds raised through equities," Setty said. Addressing a conference organised by the Sebi-promoted NISM here, Setty said the creation of such a platform will provide comfort to lenders as well as investors, and make pricing more competitive. It can be noted that the RBI has been pressing lenders to monitor end-use funds, .
