This is also evident from the surge in the number of folios, said ICRA Analytics. The retail investors account for a major share of the total number of folios. According to the quarterly data on folio and ticket size available on the AMFI website, the retail investors accounted for nearly 91.3% of the 16.49 folios in the industry as on December 2023, at 15.06 lakh crore.
