The mutual fund industry maintained steady momentum in February 2026, with AAUM rising to ₹83.42 lakh crore from ₹82.01 lakh crore in January, supported by net inflows of ₹94.53K crore during the month.
Equity-oriented mutual fund inflows rose by 8% in February 2026 over January, marking a recovery after two consecutive months of decline and reflecting resilient investor participation despite ongoing market volatility.
Passive fund inflows declined sharply during the month, primarily due to a slowdown in gold ETF inflows after the record surge seen in the previous month, suggesting some pause in safe-haven allocations.
SIP inflows moderated to ₹29,845 crore in February 2026, largely due to fewer working days during the month, though the overall trend continued to reflect healthy retail participation.
Overall, the February 2026 flow pattern indicates that investors remained constructive, with debt, diversified, and flexible allocation categories continuing to attract interest amid a volatile market backdrop.
