Mutual fund SIP AUM rose to Rs 15.31 lakh crore in June, up from Rs 13.35 lakh crore in March 2025 — a strong quarter-on-quarter growth of 14.6%. SIP assets now account for 20.6% of the mutual fund industry's total AUM, underscoring their rising significance in the investment landscape.

In June 2025, SIP assets saw a significant increase of Rs 69,213.58 crore. The number of contributing SIP accounts has also shown an increase during the month, reaching 8.64 crore in June 2025 from 8.56 crore in May 2025, according to the monthly note by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).

Despite market volatility, investors demonstrated their resolve by maintaining their systematic investment plans (SIPs), with total contributions reaching Rs 27,269 crore in June 2025, which represents a 2.2% increase from the previous month and a 5.2% growth compared to March 2025. The steady rise in SIP contributions underscores investors' confidence and commitment to a long-term, disciplined approach to building wealth, the note said.

“The mutual fund industry’s AUM crossed Rs 74 lakh crore in June 2025, setting a new milestone. This growth continues to be powered by strong retail participation and the steady rise in SIP inflows, which stood at Rs 27,269 crore for the month. The number of contributing SIP accounts also touched an all-time high of 8.64 crore, underlining the growing trust in mutual funds as a disciplined investment vehicle,” said Venkat N Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI.

Equity mutual funds


Equity AUM continued to grow and reached Rs 33.47 lakh crore in June 2025, up 4.4% over the previous month and the increase was supported by both market gains and net inflows. DIIs continued to display strong and consistent buying momentum, which sustained inflows.

The flexi-cap category attracted inflows of Rs 5,733 crore in June 2025, maintaining its position as the top contributor within the equity segment for the fourth consecutive month. Small-cap funds followed closely, ranking second for the fourth straight month, with inflows of Rs 4,024 crore.

Debt mutual funds


The AUM of open-ended debt funds surged to an all-time high of Rs 17.58 lakh crore in June, rising 0.2% from the previous month’s AUM of Rs 17.54 lakh crore which was due to monthly MTM gains in debt mutual funds reversing the quarter-end trend of investors liquidating their holdings during the month to meet advance tax obligations.

The highest on-month AUM growth, accompanied by net inflows, was seen in short-duration funds (8.6%), money market funds (4.0%), corporate bonds funds (3.7%), low-duration funds (3.0%) and ultra-short duration funds (2.9%). This shift towards shorter-duration and lower-risk instruments reflects investors’ preference for high liquidity in the face of market uncertainties, including concerns over interest rate cuts and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the note said.

Hybrid mutual funds


In June, hybrid fund assets grew 3.8% to Rs 9.92 lakh crore, from Rs 9.55 lakh crore in May, driven by marked-to-market (MTM) gains and the highest monthly inflows of Rs 23,223 crore, surpassing the previous month's high.

For the second consecutive month, all sub-categories within hybrid funds saw net inflows; arbitrage funds saw the largest share, of Rs 15,585 crore. In volatile markets, price differences are more frequent, which typically create opportunities for attractive returns. The uptick in volatility created a favourable environment for arbitrage funds, consequently attracting significant investments.

Passive mutual funds


Assets under passive funds grew 3.1% on-month to a record Rs 12.62 lakh crore in June, largely due to the high inflow in gold ETFs. The category witnessed an inflow of Rs 3,997 crore during the month, marking the 56th consecutive month of net inflows into ETFs.

Gold ETFs garnered the maximum inflows, of Rs 2,081 crore, followed by index funds, which attracted Rs 1,043 crore. This is partly attributable to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, contributing to the upward trend in the passive fund category.

Mutual fund industry


In June 2025, the mutual fund industry’s assets rose to Rs 74.41 lakh crore, marking a 3.1% on-month growth and 13.2% on-quarter growth. More than 75% of the monthly increase in AUM was attributable to MTM gains. Net inflows in June stood at Rs 49,095 crore and the bulk of the inflows came from hybrid funds and equity funds.

The quarter ending June 2025 saw a 16.0% increase in net inflows compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by a surge in investments in debt funds. Inflows into debt funds were 61.4% higher in the quarter ended June 2025 than in the quarter ended June 2024.

Mutual funds (MFs) added 30.32 lakh new folios in June 2025, taking the total folio count to 24.13 crore. The equity and passive fund categories accounted for the majority (89.78%) of total additions. Equity MFs continued to dominate with 16.81 crore folios, which is 69.67% of the folios. The others category, which includes passive funds, stood at 4.31 crore folios, making up about 17.88% of the total folios.
