Prior to that, mutual funds had mobilised Rs 83,000 crore in 2009-10, SEBI data shows.
At gross level, the mutual funds mobilised a total amount of over Rs 30.4 lakh crore in the first five months of the current fiscal, while there were redemption worth Rs 28.9 lakh crore as well – resulting into net inflow of about Rs 1.54 lakh crore.
This significant level of fund mobilisation has also helped the total asset under management of mutual funds to grow to Rs 7.5 lakh crore as on 31 August 2012.
Mutual funds pool in money from many investors and invest it further.
