SIPs register recorded ₹32,490 crore of inflows in September 2026
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) inflows reached a record ₹32,490 crore in September 2026, despite foreign institutional investors remaining net sellers. While equity mutual funds saw continued growth, overall industry assets under management declined due to debt fund outflows.
Why it matters
The data reflects shifting retail investor behavior in India amidst global economic headwinds and market volatility.
Amid rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape and global headwinds, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in September, according to the latest data released by Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) on Monday (October 12, 2026). On the other hand, Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) participation continued to rise, with retail investment participation in September marking a record inflow of ₹32,490 crore last month. Overall SIP assets now account for 21.6% of total industry assets at Rs 17.86 lakh crore.
Despite the global challenges, tightening monetary cycle and muted returns from the domestic equity market during the month, equity mutual funds received an inflow of ₹38,306.55 crore, marking 67th consecutive month of inflows.
