NEW DELHI: Equity net fund flows improved from Rs 41, 934 crore in February to Rs 46, 501 crore in March, marking an increase of about 11 per cent, a new report said on Friday.

The report from Vallum Capital said total net asset flows swung sharply in March as investors rotated into equities but retreating to quality and simplicity, while leaving money‑market and fixed‑income funds.

The report noted a sharp rebound in Indian equities that attracted Rs 59, 629 crore of inflows. Small‑caps rose 8.1 per cent, mid‑caps surged 6.9 per cent and large‑caps climbed 4.8 per cent on a one‑month basis, though year‑to‑date returns remain negative across the board.

However, money‑market net fund flows reversed sharply from Rs 42, 800 crore in February to Rs -1, 94, 775 crore in March, while fixed‑income outflows widened from Rs -16, 919 crore to Rs -76, 354 crore, suggesting redemption pressure or sensitivity to interest rates.
