Investors Recalibrate Portfolios as AMFI Data Shows Shift from Equity to Debt and Hybrid Funds in Octoberby Mr. Umesh Sharma, CIO- Debt, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund

“The latest AMFI data indicates a healthy realignment in investor behavior. While equity inflows softened in October, we are seeing a very constructive revival in debt and hybrid categories. Debt markets witnessed a sharp recovery after last month’s outflows, reflecting seasonal factors and a more balanced view on interest-rate expectations. Investors are clearly not exiting risk; they are recalibrating their portfolios with greater nuance.

The strength of flows into debt, dynamic asset allocation and multi-asset funds suggests that investors are becoming more deliberate about diversification and risk management. This broad-based participation, coupled with continued growth in folios and industry AUM, underscores the deepening financialization of savings. At The Wealth Company Mutual Fund, we believe this environment rewards disciplined, research-driven frameworks that combine macro awareness with active risk controls. The trends we are observing today point to a more mature, long-term investing mindset across the market.”
