Investment: Investors changed their game plan after suffering losses! Money is being invested in stocks, but through a very 'safe' route..

Now, the common man of the country is also understanding that just saving will not work. Investment is necessary to increase money, and this change is now clearly visible in the figures as well. People's trust in mutual funds is continuously getting stronger. In June 2025, SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) reached a record level of Rs 27,269 crore, which is 2 percent more than Rs 26,688 crore in May. The country's total mutual fund AUM (Asset Under Management) has also increased to Rs 74.41 lakh crore.

On the other hand, people's interest in opening a demat account has decreased. If we look at the figures from January 2025 till now, Grow has lost 6 lakh, Zerodha 5.5 lakh, Angel One 4.5 lakh, and Upstox has lost more than 3 lakh active investors. In the month of June alone, these four brokerage platforms together lost about 6 lakh active clients.

Investment in SIP crosses Rs 27,000 crore.

According to the latest data of the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), this is the first time that investment through SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) has crossed Rs 27,000 crore. At the same time, the total assets under management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry have also reached a new high. AUM increased to Rs 74.41 lakh crore in June, which is the highest level ever. Earlier, it was Rs 72.20 lakh crore in May and Rs 69.99 lakh crore in April.

People's interest in large-cap funds is increasing.

While the total investment in May was Rs 29,572 crore, in June it increased by 67% to Rs 49,301 crore. Talking about equity mutual funds, their investment in June increased by 24% to Rs 23,587 crore. The special thing is that, except for ELSS (Tax Saving Fund), investments were made in all other equity categories. Large-cap funds showed the best growth in June, and an investment of Rs 1,694 crore was made in this category, which is 35% more than Rs 1,250.5 crore in May.

This much investment was made in small-cap and mid-cap

Rs 4,024.5 crore was invested in small-cap funds during June, which is 25% more than Rs 3,214 crore in May. At the same time, people also showed trust in mid-cap funds. An investment of Rs 3,754 crore was made in it, which is 34% more than Rs 2,808.7 crore in May. Gold ETF made the biggest jump, while the investment was Rs 292 crore in May, it reached Rs 2,080.9 crore in June, that is, a tremendous increase of about 613%.

Hybrid funds also saw investments of Rs 23,223 crore in June, up from Rs 20,765 crore in May. According to AMFI data, multi-asset allocation funds saw investments of Rs 3,209 crore, and dynamic asset allocation/balanced advantage funds saw investments of Rs 1,885 crore. Most of this growth has been driven by the good performance of the stock market, as both the Nifty and Sensex gave strong returns in June.
