What happened

SIP inflows in India hit an all-time high of Rs 32,490 crore in September. However, the overall mutual fund industry's net assets under management (AUM) fell from Rs 87.08 lakh crore in August to Rs 82.64 lakh crore in September.

Why it matters

The record SIP inflows indicate strong and growing participation from retail investors in the mutual fund market despite short-term market fluctuations. However, the drop in overall AUM suggests a valuation decline or net outflows in other segments during the month.
