Economy and corporate earnings doing well; equity markets will continue to do well: AMFI CEO
NS Venkatesh, CEO, AMFI, says “the equity flows are at a five-month high and mainly concentrated in the midcap, small cap and flexi cap funds. It is essentially because the investors find that the correction which happened in the smallcap as well as midcap space gives them an opportunity to participate in their upward story and that is why we are finding people putting money into the smallcaps and midcaps.”

The SIP numbers are really good in the sense that we have touched an all-time high of Rs 15,800 crores during this month which is 500 crores above last month. We see the retail investors reposing faith and trust in the mutual fund industry and they are using the SIP as an investment vehicle to participate in the India story and we believe that going ahead we will see the SIP numbers on an increasing trend.
