est. net flow, last quarter

At or near its largest, ₹5,409Cr 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.

AMC Profile

UTI Mutual Fund descends from the Unit Trust of India, which was effectively the whole Indian mutual fund industry from 1963 until private managers were allowed in. It was carved out as a SEBI-registered fund house in 2003, is listed on the exchanges, and is held by SBI, LIC, Bank of Baroda, PNB and T. Rowe Price rather than a single parent.
