Meanwhile, SIP inflows remained steady, moderating to ₹31,115 crore from a record high of ₹32,087 crore in the month of March.
The total assets under management (AUM) for equity funds improved by ₹376,654 crore to ₹35,74,352 crore in the month under review.
Small-caps, midcap and flexicap schemes saw an increase in inflows while all other categories faced a decline.
In percentage terms, inflows into focused funds tumbled the most by 51% MoM to ₹1,194.80 crore. In the value fund/contra fund category, inflows declined 31% to ₹1,478.08 crore, and in the thematic and sectoral funds, the contributions were lower by 28% to ₹1,949.36 crore.
