Equity Mutual Funds See Renewed Investor Confidence, Gold ETFs Lose Shine

New Delhi: Despite continued foreign outflows from the Indian market over the past few months, domestic mutual fund investors have shown renewed confidence in equities in November. Investments in equity mutual funds surged by 21%, reaching approximately ₹29,911 crore, after three consecutive months of decline.

However, inflows through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) saw a marginal dip. At the same time, debt funds witnessed significant outflows. Data released on Thursday by the industry body AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India) highlighted these trends.

AMFI CEO Venkat N Chalasani said, “Steady inflows have helped equity schemes maintain momentum and deliver growth.”

Gold ETFs See Reduced Interest
Investments in Gold ETFs fell sharply, from ₹7,743 crore in October to ₹3,742 crore in November, reflecting a reduced demand for safe-haven assets.

Debt Funds Experience Heavy Outflows
Debt mutual funds saw a massive exit of ₹25,692 crore in November. Overnight funds recorded withdrawals of ₹37,624 crore, while liquid funds saw ₹14,051 crore pulled out.

Shifts Within Fixed-Income Instruments
Investors, however, redirected funds into money market (₹12,822 crore), ultra-short duration (₹9,068 crore), and low-duration funds (₹5,800 crore), indicating a preference for relatively safer short-term instruments amid market volatility.

Key Highlights – November 2025:

  • Equity inflow: ₹29,911 crore (October: ₹24,690 crore)
  • SIP inflow: ₹29,445 crore
  • Flexi-cap inflow: ₹8,135 crore
  • Debt fund outflow: ₹25,692 crore
  • Gold ETF inflow: ₹3,742 crore (October: ₹7,743 crore)

This shift underlines that while domestic investors are regaining confidence in equities, there is still caution in riskier and long-term safe-haven assets like gold ETFs.
