“Despite volatility in markets and fear around macros both globally and locally, it is a good trend to see continued positive flows in equities. Though lower than last month which may be due to NFO allotment, SIP flows are holding strong which is also very positive. It will be interesting to see ongoing investment trends given the intensity of volatility being very high, I do expect positive trend to continue going forward though,” says Akhil Chaturvedi, Chief Business Officer, Motilal Oswal AMC.
