Fund size over time
Quarterly average AUM · AMFIDown +8% from its peak of ₹2,940Cr in January - March 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.
Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.

SBI Mutual Fund is a joint venture between the State Bank of India and Amundi of France, and was set up in 1987 as the first fund house in India outside UTI. It is the largest by assets, helped by managing a share of the EPFO's ETF investments.

About Sectoral & Thematic funds
Sectoral and thematic funds must keep at least 80% in the equity of one sector (banking, pharma, technology) or one theme (consumption, manufacturing, ESG). That concentration is the point and the risk: with no mandate to diversify away from the sector, the fund rises and falls with it.
