However, the quantum of net inflows dropped from September, when it attracted Rs 8,677 crore, said a PTI report quoting data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi).
Within the equity segment, almost all categories saw net inflows, except the value and equity-linked saving scheme (ELSS) categories in October, the report added.
Healthy inflows were observed in sectoral/thematic, Flexi Cap, Large Cap, Focus and Large & Mid Cap segments.
Mutual fund AUM as on 31st October 2021 was Rs 37.33 trillion, higher by 1.6 per cent from the last month. Nearly 27 lakh folios were added in October. Net inflow due to a combination of debt & equity schemes.
In October, mutual funds were seen adding a few large cap names - HCL Technologies, TCS and Wipro along with ICICI Lombard General & Axis Bank.
“With limited IPOs in October, Mutual funds deployment in issuances were only Rs 8.81bn. The IPO level participation is as follows - NYKAA (Rs 6.78bn) and Fino Payments (Rs 2.03bn),” Edelweiss said in a report.
“Mutual funds used the recent run-up in names like IRCTC, Tata Power Co, Mindtree and SRF as an opportunity to trim stake. These names were in phenomenal momentum because of potential MSCI entrant,” it said.
Monthly SIP contribution too reached an all-time high at Rs 10,518 crore during the period under review from Rs 10,351 crore in September.
"Since the markets have appreciated and rallied a lot and with valuations at substantial levels, we are witnessing individuals continue their MF exposure via SIP, which allows investors to get a benefit via law of averages during the entry point in equities," Pradeep Gupta, Co-Founder & Vice Chairman, Anand Rathi Group, said.
"I feel that for most retail investors, majority of equity exposure should be through MF. Better still if it is in the form of SIP because that gives predictability to MFs," he said.
