WhiteOak Capital Multi Asset Allocation-Dir (G)

The fund seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and equity-related instruments of businesses that derive a majority of their revenue from the services domain. These could include industries like finance, healthcare, IT, telecom, consumer services, and more. The scheme will be benchmarked against the Nifty Services Sector Total Return Index, which has grown steadily from around 1,000 in April 2014 to 4,518 in April 2025, reflecting the sector’s strength and momentum over the past decade.

According to the fund's internal research, India’s services sector has consistently been the backbone of the economy. Between FY23 and FY25, the sector recorded a solid 8.3% growth rate, bolstered by a sharp acceleration in services exports, which rose to 12.8% in FY25 from 5.7% in FY24. The services sector's share of India’s Gross Value Added (GVA) increased from 52% in FY16 to 55% in FY24, peaking at 56% in FY23. It now contributes significantly to employment, supporting nearly 30% of the workforce. Globally, India ranks seventh in services exports, holding a 4.3% share. Remarkably, the sector has remained in the expansionary zone for 41 consecutive months since August 2021, underlining its resilience and consistent performance.

Prateek Agrawal, MD & CEO, Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company said, "India’s services sector has consistently demonstrated strong and resilient growth, emerging as a key driver of the country’s economic development. With its rising contribution to GDP, robust export potential, and growing digital and consumer-driven demand, we believe the sector may offer compelling long-term investment opportunities. Our new Sectoral fund is designed to tap into this structural growth story and enable investors to gain exposure to the services-led transformation of India’s economy."

Echoing the sentiment, Bhalachandra Shinde, Associate Fund Manager, noted that the services sector spans a wide array of industries that are benefiting from urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and increasing digital penetration. He stated that the fund would follow a research-driven approach to identify high-quality businesses with scalable models and strong fundamentals positioned to ride the sector's long-term growth wave.

The fund will be managed by a team comprising Bhalachandra Shinde, Ajay Khandelwal, and Atul Mehra for the equity component, Rakesh Shetty for debt, and Sunil Sawant for overseas securities.

SIP inflows hit an all-time high of Rs 26,632 crore in April 2025, marking a 3% rise from Rs 25,926 crore in March. However, equity mutual funds saw a slight cooling-off, with net inflows dipping 3.2% month-on-month to Rs 24,269 crore from Rs 25,082 crore, as investors appeared to rotate allocations towards debt instruments.

Debt mutual funds stole the show with a massive Rs 2.19 lakh crore inflow in April, staging a complete turnaround from March’s Rs 2.02 lakh crore outflow. The biggest contributor was liquid funds, which clocked in Rs 1.18 lakh crore, bouncing back strongly from the Rs 1.33 lakh crore withdrawal seen in the previous month.

Flexi-cap funds led the equity pack with Rs 5,541 crore in net inflows. Despite mild month-on-month dips of 2% and 4% respectively, small-cap and mid-cap funds maintained strong traction, drawing Rs 3,999 crore and Rs 3,313 crore.

The hybrid category too gained momentum, attracting Rs 14,247 crore in April — a dramatic reversal from the Rs 946 crore outflow in March. Arbitrage funds spearheaded the recovery with Rs 11,790 crore in inflows, bouncing back from March’s Rs 2,854 crore outflow.

Passives remained in favor as well. Index funds and ETFs saw inflows swell 43% to Rs 20,229 crore, up from Rs 14,148 crore a month earlier.

All this propelled the total mutual fund assets under management (AUM) to Rs 69.73 lakh crore in April, a healthy 7% growth from Rs 65.47 lakh crore in March.

In April 2025, the Indian mutual fund industry saw the launch of seven new open-end schemes, mobilizing a total of Rs 350 crore, with no close-end schemes introduced during the month. Among the new offerings, debt-oriented schemes included the Zerodha Overnight Fund, which raised Rs 53 crore. The equity category saw the launch of the Kotak Energy Opportunities Fund, a sectoral/thematic fund, which mobilized Rs 171 crore. The hybrid space featured the quant Arbitrage Fund, bringing in Rs 48 crore. In the 'Other Schemes' category, two index funds—Kotak Nifty Top 10 Equal Weight Index Fund and Tata BSE Quality Index—were launched, collecting Rs 65 crore. Additionally, two ETFs—Groww Nifty 500 Momentum 50 ETF and ICICI Prudential Nifty EV & New Age Automotive ETF—were introduced, raising Rs 13 crore. The combined mobilisation by index funds and ETFs stood at Rs 78 crore, reflecting a notable interest in passive investment avenues.
