Mutual Fund Industry in India

The asset management business in India still remains largely under-penetrated with AUMs-to-GDP of just 13-15 per cent against the global average of about 75-80 per cent. Similarly, equity AUMs-to-GDP is also low at 5 per cent.

In fact, over the last decade, the Indian MF industry has grown at a steady pace from 7.0 lakh crore to 32.1 lakh crore i.e. approx. 4 times increase in a span of 10 years.

Rising awareness about the benefits of investing in equity markets, the growing popularity of ways of investing, for example through SIP, are some of the factors contributing to the increased participation of domestic individual investors in the Indian mutual fund industry.

Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) offer the benefit of regular investing coupled with the benefits of rupee cost averaging. The number of SIP transactions processed in March 2021 was Rs. 3.73 Crore as compared to Rs. 1.01 Crore in April 2016. 

Institutional brokerage and financial services firm CLSA expects mutual funds assets to increase 16 per cent between FY22-25, driven by 18 per cent growth in equity AUMs. The share of equity AUM will increase to 51 per cent from about 48 per cent currently.
