AMFI Report : 2.03 crore
investors have invested in Mutual funds
2019 ended on a positive note for the Rs.27 lakh crore Indian mutual fund industry.
The
data has identified the number of unique investors by taking into account
PANs/PEKRNs (PAN Exempted KYC Registration Number) of all unit holders or their
guardians in case of minor unit holders.
As on
December 2019, the MF industry has 1.98 crore unique investors with PAN and
4.67 lakh investors without PAN.
In
2012, the mutual fund regulator SEBI allowed investors to invest up to Rs.
50,000 annually in a single mutual fund per year without a permanent account
number (PAN).
AMFI
data shows that the MF industry has 8.71 crore folio as on December 2019.
This
indicates that the average MF investor holds close to 4 folios in mutual funds.
Also,
the MF industry had 1.76 crore unique investors as on June 2018 indicating that
the industry has added close to 26 lakh investors in one and a half years.
Industry
experts feel the Mutual Funds Sahi Hai campaign, growing popularity of SIPs and
ease of investment through digital technology have contributed to the
industry’s growth story.
