August also has seen some inflows into some of the mutual fund schemes in the form of NFO collections. They are almost close to about Rs 3,500 crore of NFO collection came. At the same time, SIP subscriptions continues to be on the rise. It is a function of the market volatility,” said Balasubramanian.
“Positive trend will continue. The effort that is being put by the asset management industry in increasing the awareness among people for investing in mutual fund has to be for long-term that will keep widening. New people are now beginning to accept mutual fund as one way of investing in creating wealth,” he added.

The whole market is driven by four-five stocks in terms of performance, rest of the markets have not done well, that is beginning to reflect on the performance of the index. Therefore we are in that transition phase where adjustment seems to be happened,” said Balasubramanian.
