Mid-cap and small-cap equity funds stayed popular, pulling in over ₹4,000 crore and ₹3,800 crore each.
Hybrid funds recorded nearly ₹12,000 crore in inflows. Liquid funds saw a huge boost, too.
On the flip side, gold ETFs lost their shine, falling sharply from over ₹24,000 crore to just about ₹5,200 crore.
Santosh Joseph from Germinate Investor Services says new SIPs slowed down thanks to months of sideways markets. Still, most existing investors stuck around.
He's also seeing more people look at multi-asset funds for extra stability, something that could stick around as markets stay unpredictable.
SIP trends show how regular people feel about investing—so a dip usually means folks are pausing to rethink their moves when things get choppy.
If you're investing or thinking about it, these shifts can be a good signal to watch what others are doing and maybe review your own plan too.
