Debt-oriented mutual funds witnessed a strong recovery in October, driven by investments in liquid schemes and attracting a net inflow of Rs 1.57 lakh crore after huge redemptions in the previous month.
Notably, 14 of 16 debt mutual fund categories reported net inflows during the month, while medium-duration and credit risk funds maintained their trend of consistent outflows.
The positive inflow boosted the asset base of debt mutual funds by 11 per cent to Rs 16.64 lakh crore in October-end from Rs 14.97 lakh crore at the end of September, according to data with Amfi.
As per the data, debt mutual funds attracted inflows of Rs 1.57 lakh crore in October, marking a sharp reversal from the outflows of Rs 1.14 lakh crore recorded in September.
Within the debt fund, liquid funds led the inflows with Rs 83,863 crore, accounting for 53 per cent of the total, followed by overnight funds and money market funds with Rs 25,784 crore and Rs 25,303 crore, respectively.
"Corporates typically channel surplus funds into liquid and money market funds post-tax settlements in September, reflecting a preference for these low-risk, highly liquid options," Nehal Meshram, Senior Analyst, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said.
