However, there were some bright spots. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) contribution continued its strong momentum, reaching an all-time high of Rs 24,508.73 crore in September. Additionally, mid-cap (+2.48% MoM) and multi-cap funds (+41.77% MoM) saw increased inflows, indicating investor confidence in these segments. Value/contra funds also saw a modest 13.68% increase during the month.

Large-cap funds, on the other hand, experienced a notable decline, with inflows dropping by 32.90% from August to September.

Meanwhile, debt schemes witnessed an outflow to the tune of Rs 1,13,833.95 crore in September, compared with an inflow of Rs 45,169.36 crore in August 2024.

Despite the mixed trends in equity schemes, the overall mutual fund industry remains robust. The number of new SIPs registered reached 66,38,857 in September, and the total number of SIP accounts surpassed 9.87 crore. The SIP AUM also hit a new high of Rs 13.81 lakh crore.

In conclusion, while equity schemes witnessed a slight dip in inflows, the overall mutual fund industry continues to attract investor interest, driven by factors like SIPs and growing confidence in certain equity fund categories.

The MF Lite framework offers relaxed regulatory requirements for entities looking to launch only passive mutual fund schemes, such as Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Index Funds. These schemes follow a rule-based investment strategy with minimal discretion from the Asset Management Company (AMC).

Key benefits of the MF Lite framework include:

* Ease of Entry: Lower barriers to entry for new players in the mutual fund industry.

* Reduced Compliance: Simplified regulatory requirements for passively managed schemes.

* Enhanced Market Liquidity: Increased participation in the market can lead to greater liquidity.

* Investment Diversification: More options for investors to diversify their portfolios.

Existing AMCs that manage both active and passive schemes will have the option to hive off their passive schemes to a separate group entity under the MF Lite framework. Alternatively, they can continue managing their passive schemes under the existing mutual fund regulations while benefiting from the relaxed requirements.

SEBI's introduction of the MF Lite framework is expected to boost the growth of passively managed Mutual Funds in India, providing investors with more affordable and diversified investment options.

The new product, designed to bridge the gap between traditional Mutual Funds and Portfolio Management Services (PMS), offers investors greater flexibility in portfolio construction while maintaining a regulated environment. It aims to address the growing concern of unregistered and unauthorized investment schemes that often promise unrealistic returns and exploit investors.

Key features of the new investment product include:

* Professional Management: The product will be professionally managed, ensuring that investors benefit from expert investment advice.

* Enhanced Flexibility: Investors will have more flexibility in customizing their portfolios based on their risk tolerance and investment goals.

* Higher Risk-Taking Capabilities: The product is designed to cater to investors with a higher appetite for risk and potential returns.

* Robust Safeguards: The product will not allow leverage or invest in unlisted and unrated instruments beyond those already permitted for mutual funds. Additionally, derivatives exposure will be limited to 25% of assets under management for purposes other than hedging and rebalancing.

The new product will be referred to as "Investment Strategies" to differentiate it from traditional mutual fund schemes. The minimum investment limit for the product has been set at Rs 10 lakh per investor across all investment strategies offered by a particular AMC.

SEBI's approval of this new investment product is expected to provide a boost to the Indian investment landscape, offering investors a wider range of options and greater control over their investments.
