India Mutual Funds Market Trends:

Rise of Passive Investing Through Index Funds and ETFs

The India mutual funds market growth is driven by a significant shift toward passive investing, with growing investor preference for index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Moreover, the increasing awareness regarding low-cost investment options, better market efficiency, and the underperformance of actively managed funds compared to benchmark indices are positively impacting the market. In addition to this, institutional investors and retail participants alike are recognizing the benefits of passive funds, which offer diversified exposure at minimal expense ratios. Additionally, regulatory initiatives by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) promoting transparency and investor education further fuel this transition. For instance, new rules for registered intermediaries advertising on social media platforms were released by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on March 24, 2025. These intermediaries must now use the email addresses and mobile numbers provided on SEBI's SI Portal to register on websites such as Google and Meta. This measure aims to enhance verification procedures, minimize fraudulent activities, and build investor confidence in the securities market. By prohibiting misleading advertisements and ensuring authentic representation of mutual fund products, SEBI's regulations are fostering a more transparent and trustworthy investment environment. Moreover, the rise of systematic investment plans (SIPs) in ETFs, combined with increased stock market participation, is expected to strengthen the passive investing trend. As more asset management companies (AMCs) launch innovative passive products, the market is poised for exponential growth in the coming years, reshaping the investment landscape in India.

Increase in Retail Participation Through SIPs and Digital Platforms 

Retail participation in the Indian mutual funds market has increased, largely due to the growing popularity of systematic investment plans (SIPs) and the expansion of digital investment platforms. With increased financial literacy and easy access to investment options through mobile applications, more investors are entering the market, contributing to consistent inflows in mutual funds. Monthly SIP inflows have reached record highs, reflecting a shift in investor behavior toward disciplined, long-term wealth creation. Additionally, fintech innovations and online investment platforms are simplifying the investment process, enabling seamless transactions, real-time tracking, and automated portfolio management. On June 25, 2024, HDFC Bank introduced 'SmartWealth,' a digital investment platform designed to simplify and enhance the investment experience for its customers. This platform offers a comprehensive suite of investment products, including mutual funds, fixed deposits, and insurance, enabling users to manage their portfolios seamlessly. SmartWealth features personalized investment recommendations based on individual financial goals and risk profiles, ensuring tailored advice for each user. Such innovations are democratizing wealth management and empowering retail investors with the tools and insights needed to optimize their portfolios. The convenience of digital onboarding and implementation of government initiatives to promote financial inclusion further strengthens retail investor participation. This democratization of investing is thereby positively impacting the India mutual funds market outlook, making it an essential vehicle for wealth accumulation, even in smaller cities and rural areas.
