In February 2024, debt-focused funds saw substantial inflows, with liquid funds attracting the highest investments, followed by corporate bond and short-duration funds. Despite recent trends favoring active duration strategies, long-duration and dynamic bond funds also gained traction. Equity mutual funds witnessed a surge in inflows, particularly in thematic and large & mid-cap categories. While small-cap funds experienced robust flows, there was a slowdown in mid-cap funds. Hybrid funds, notably arbitrage and multi-asset allocation funds, saw significant inflows, while passive fund launches garnered moderate investments. Overall, market dynamics suggest a shift towards short-term debt investments and thematic equity allocations.
