NEW DELHI: Retail investors are back on Dalal Street and this time, mostly via the mutual fund route. This is evident from the fact that mutual fund (MF) managers bought shares worth a staggering Rs 10,533 crore even though overseas investors pulled out record money from the stock market.
The latest data showed fund managers bought shares worth a net Rs 10,533 crore last month while foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) pulled out a record Rs 17,434 crore during the period, said a PTI report.
Mutual Fund schemes have performed much better than the benchmark indices so far in the year 2015. Top ten schemes based on percentage returns so far in the year 2015 have outperformed the benchmark index by a wide margin.
The AUM or the total assets under management is under Rs 500 crore for these themes which have reported more than 20 per cent return so far in the year 2015.
The SBI Pharma Direct - Growth rose 22 per cent, followed by SBI Pharma-G, which rose 21 per cent, while Reliance Pharma-Growth rallied 18 per cent, as compared to over 6 per cent fall in the S&P BSE Sensex so far in the year 2015.
