Systematic Investment Plans

The SIP book has grown consistently from Rs 11,305 crore in December 2021 to an all-time high of Rs 13,573 crore in December 2022

Last month's SIP contribution was much higher than Rs 11,305.34 crore that was invested in December 2021

The mutual fund industry added Rs 2.2 lakh crore to its asset base in 2022, driven by consistent monthly increase in SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) flows. The Assets Under Management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry rose by 5.7 per cent or Rs 2.2 lakh crore to a total Rs 39.88 lakh crore in 2022, data from the Association of Mutual Fund Industry (Amfi) showed on Tuesday. This was way lower than a surge of nearly 22 per cent or an increase of close to Rs 7 lakh crore in the asset base to Rs 37.72 lakh crore in 2021. "The industry grew at a slower pace in 2022 due to uncertainty in stock markets, and changing interest rate scenarios affecting the business environment at large.

Investors are betting big on systematic investment plans or SIPs to generate long-term wealth, with monthly flows in the mutual fund industry through the route rising to an all-time high of Rs 13,040 crore in October. This surpassed the Rs 12,976 crore inflow seen in September, data with Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) showed on Thursday. The inflows through SIPs have been above the Rs 12,000-crore mark since May. It was at Rs 12,140 crore in July, Rs 12,276 crore in June and Rs 12,286 crore in May. Prior to that, it was at Rs 11,863 crore in April. With this, total inflow has reached over Rs 87,000 crore in the first seven months of the current fiscal. This came following an inflow of over Rs 1.24 lakh crore in the 2021-22 financial year. "Markets continue to react to the global factors and domestic rate hikes.
