Net inflows into equity mutual fund schemes fall to a near one-year low in May, according to reports citing data on month-wise flows. Equity schemes record net inflows of about ₹22,900 crore (₹22,908 crore in one report) in May. This is notably lower than the preceding months, with April showing ₹38,440 crore in net inflows, March ₹40,450 crore, February ₹25,978 crore and January ₹24,028 crore. The reporting also indicates that inflows have moderated since the start of the calendar year, suggesting a gradual softening from earlier levels. While the May figure marks the lowest point in roughly 12 months, it remains part of a pattern of reduced inflows compared with the higher levels seen in March and April. Across the sources, the central point is the decline in net equity fund inflows in May relative to recent monthly totals.
