Mutual Fund flows and takeaways for you

The article analyzes trends in mutual fund flows from December 2025 to June 2026, highlighting investor preferences. Flexi Cap funds received the highest flows, indicating investor comfort with fund managers' discretion in market-cap allocation. Multi-asset allocation funds (MAFs) were also popular, offering diversified asset allocation and tax efficiency. Mid-cap and Small-cap funds saw buoyant flows despite higher risk. Conversely, Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) experienced declining flows due to the diminishing relevance of Section 80C/123 deductions under the New Tax Regime. The article concludes by advising investors to align choices with personal goals, risk appetite, and time horizon, rather than solely following market popularity.
