Question 1

What does the India MF Industry Report Card show?

Accepted Answer

The Report Card is a 1200×630 PNG image showing the mutual fund industry snapshot for a selected month: total industry AUM, breakdown across equity/debt/hybrid/passive categories, top 7 net inflows by fund category, and notable outflows. All data is sourced directly from AMFI's official monthly report.

Question 2

How do I download and share the report card image?

Accepted Answer

Click 'Download PNG' to save the image to your device. You can then share it directly on LinkedIn (as a photo post, not a link preview), WhatsApp, or X/Twitter using the share buttons. The image includes all data, branding, and source attribution — no editing required.

Question 3

How often is the report card updated?

Accepted Answer

The report card data updates monthly, following AMFI's official publication schedule. AMFI typically publishes the monthly industry report within the first 10 days of the following month. Use the month selector to view any month from March 2014 onwards.

Question 4

What are net inflows and outflows in mutual funds?

Accepted Answer

Net inflow = gross inflow (new investments) minus redemptions for a given month. A positive net flow means more money entered the category than left. Consistently positive equity net flows — as seen in categories like Flexi Cap, Mid Cap, and Multi Asset — indicate sustained investor conviction in that category.

Question 5

Why does the report show Liquid Fund flows separately?

Accepted Answer

Liquid Fund flows are often very large (₹50,000–80,000 Cr in a single month) because they are used by corporates and institutions for short-term cash management, not long-term investing. Including them in the main inflow chart would dwarf all other categories. The report card focuses on equity and hybrid inflows which better represent retail investor behaviour.

Question 6

What is the difference between AUM and AAUM?

Accepted Answer

AUM (Assets Under Management) is the total market value of all investments at month-end. AAUM (Average AUM) is the daily average across the month — the official metric AMFI uses for regulatory filings and expense ratio calculations. AAUM is typically close to AUM but smooths out single-day spikes from institutional flows.
