Sectoral/thematic funds up 12% by Mutual Fund Houses📈🏦

According to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), mutual fund houses are increasingly tapping into market sentiment with their October NFOs, raising around ₹6,062 crore in total. A major share came from sectoral and thematic funds, particularly in PSUs (banks and defence), infrastructure, and manufacturing themes. Experts note that AMCs often capitalise on prevailing market trends to capture a larger share of investor money, frequently launching new schemes aligned with thriving sectors. AMFI data further shows that inflows into sectoral and thematic funds rose nearly 12% in October compared with the previous month — highlighting the strong investor appetite for these focused themes.
