Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted Rs 2,080.85 crore in June 2025, marking the highest monthly inflow in five months, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This was a sharp rise compared to just Rs 292 crore in May, showing a six-fold increase.
Nehal Meshram, Senior Analyst at Morningstar India, said this surge reflects renewed investor confidence, driven by steady gold prices, geopolitical tensions, and volatility in stock and bond markets. Earlier in March and April, investors had withdrawn funds from gold ETFs to book profits as gold prices surged.
Gold ETFs track the price of gold and offer a passive way to invest in the metal.
Meanwhile, mutual fund Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) inflows hit a record Rs 27,269 crore in June, a 2% increase from May’s Rs 26,688 crore. This was the first time SIP inflows crossed the Rs 27,000 crore mark.
The total net assets under management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry also hit an all-time high of Rs 74.41 lakh crore in June, up from Rs 72.20 lakh crore in May.
Overall mutual fund inflows jumped 67% month-on-month to Rs 49,301 crore in June. Equity mutual funds saw a 24% increase in inflows, totaling Rs 23,587 crore, with all equity categories except ELSS funds experiencing strong interest.
The strong inflows into gold ETFs and mutual funds indicate growing investor interest in diversifying portfolios amid uncertain market conditions.
