India's Mutual Fund Growth Driven by SIPs, Passive Funds, and Changing Investor Profiles
India's mutual fund landscape is evolving with systematic investment plans (SIPs) gaining prominence, especially among smaller investors using digital platforms, while larger investors still prefer distributors. SIP assets and investor numbers have grown significantly, with longer investment horizons and rising passive fund participation. Despite record SIP inflows, the smallest savers are declining, masked by growth in larger investments. Experts view current market valuations as favorable for long-term investors, though high inflows have contributed to elevated equity valuations.
