The MF industry had witnessed outflows worth Rs 83,937 crore in June, after two consecutive months of inflows, which analysts believe was mainly on the back of a heavy pull-out by banks.
At the end of July, fixed income plans with assured annual returns, saw a maximum investment of Rs 95,764 crore, followed by liquid or money market funds which have a higher liquidity and a short maturity period, that saw inflows worth Rs 24,698 crore.
Besides, equity funds investing in stocks attracted investments worth Rs 4,232 crore.
