FundsMutual funds

Every mutual fund category, compared

Net flows, assets and accounts for every category in Aug 2026, on a basis that stays comparable across AMFI's changes of category names, then AMFI's own categories as printed.

Written for investors and advisers comparing fund categories. Data to 31 Aug 2026.

Categories on a comparable basis

Ranked by net inflow over the last twelve months. The percentage column is the year's net inflow against the category's assets a year earlier: it separates money coming in from markets lifting what was already there. Debt funds are one row because AMFI renamed their categories in August 2026.

Which categories are drawing new money

Net flow over the twelve months to Aug 2026, as a share of each category's AUM a year earlier.

How to read it. A long bar is a category growing fast from new money, whatever markets did. Small categories can post large percentages on modest sums; the table below has the amounts.

Which categories are drawing new money. Bar chart of 24 items. Year's net flow, % of AUM a year earlier: highest Gold ETFs at 101%, lowest Close-ended and interval at −42%.
