JUNE 2024 –RECORD FOR EQUITY FLOWS AND SIPS TOO

Between February and April 2024, equity funds had struggled with dwindling flows amidst election related uncertainty. However, the situation changed with effect from May 2024. In May 2024, we had seen a sharp turnaround in equity fund flows at ₹34,697 Crore. In the 3 months prior to May 2024, the equity fund flows had been ₹18,917 Crore in April, ₹22,633 Crore in March, and ₹26,703 Crore in February 2024. If May was the trailer, then June 2024 was the real thriller with ₹40,608 Crore of net inflows. The June 2024 equity fund flows also happens to be an all-time record for any month, better the previous record of May 2024. Within the equity fund category, bulk of the buying came into sectoral / thematic funds, where were largely driven by NFOs. For the month of June 2024; while NFO flows were robust at ₹15,227 Crore, the gross SIP flows set a lifetime record of ₹21,262 Crore in the month of June 2024. That is driving most of the equity fund flow action.

If flows into equity funds have been robust and MFs have been consistent buyers in equities, the real question is what have mutual funds been buying. Let us look at the numbers first. For June 2024, mutual funds invested ₹28,226 Crore into equities, coming on top of ₹48,099 Crore in May 2024. This robust investing by the mutual funds were largely driven by the steady mutual fund flows. One thing to understand is that MF churn is not determined only by the net equity fund inflows of ₹40,608 Crore. Instead, the participation in stock markets is determined by the gross churn, which is the sum of purchases and redemptions. The gross flows into equity funds stood at ₹81,145 Crore in June 2024 while ₹40,437 Crore of redemptions were seen. It is this gross figure of ₹1,21,582 Crore that determines the equity churn by mutual funds in the month of June 2024. In India there are 45 AMCs; so, we cannot look at the buying and selling of all these AMCs. We will restrict to 10 most powerful AMCs in terms of equity market AUM and clout.
