- Large-cap-oriented categories saw modest inflows after two months of consecutive decline. Small and midcap category continued their momentum reflecting value buying taking center stage. The inflows were persistent in small and midcaps amid value buying since very few equity NFOs were launched in equity category during Jan’23.
- Considering the reasonable risk returns tradeoff in midcap & smallcap and the valuations tradeoff vis-à-vis large-cap, in line with our expectations, both these categories are receiving inflows and expected to do the same in near term.
