Investments made in liquid funds, which invest in short-term debt instruments, offer better returns for retail investors than parking money in savings bank account, says a study.
MF assets remained unaffected by the January market crash, said research firm Crisil. Some fund houses even registered an increse in AUMs.
Riding on the back of fresh inflows into various schemes, the MF industry's AUM totalled Rs 7.20 lakh crore (Rs 7.2 trillion) -- a 24 per cent rise over the previous month, Crisil FundServices said in a report. During July, FIIs invested over Rs 11,600 crore (Rs 116 billion) in Indian equities, while MFs bought Rs 1,825 crore (Rs 18.25 billion) shares, as per data available on the website of Securities and Exchange Board of India.
Debt-oriented mutual funds have continued to give positive returns in February, while almost all the equity schemes ended in the negative, a latest study said. According to Crisil FundServices, provider of fund evaluation and risk solutions to the Indian MF industry, debt funds showed positive momentum, while equity funds continued to slide in February.
Mutual Funds continued to be net buyers to the tune of Rs 3,179 crore (Rs 31.79 billion) in the secondary market compared to a net buyer position of Rs 64 crore (Rs 640 million) in May, a study by fund evaluation and risk solutions provider Crisil FundServices stated. Fund houses have made net equity purchases close to Rs 7,614 crore (Rs 76.14 billion) till June end this year.
