Equity Funds Phir Se Favourite Ban Gaye!
To suno, yeh jo active equity funds hain na, yeh wapas se investors ki top choice ban gaye hain. February se April 2026 tak mein lagbhag 1.5 million naye accounts khule hain. Abhi kuch time pehle, September 2025 se February 2026 tak, gold aur silver ETFs mein record paisa aa raha tha kyuki precious metals ka price bhaga tha aur stock market mein bhi thodi gadbad thi. Lekin abhi ka trend bolta hai ki investors market girne par equity mein entry maar rahe hain.
Market Dips = Buying Ka Mauka?
Log keh rahe hain ki yeh jo market mein corrections aati hain na, yeh equity kharidne ka best time hai. Flexicap, midcap aur smallcap funds sabse aage hain, sabse zyada naye accounts inhi mein bane hain. Iska matlab hai log diversification aur growth pe dhyan de rahe hain, especially choti companies mein, bhale hi market upar-neeche ho raha ho. Sirf April 2026 mein hi equity funds mein ₹38,440 crore ka net inflow hua hai. March se thoda kam hai, par SIPs aur strategic investment ka zor dikh raha hai. Sirf Flexi-cap funds mein April mein record ₹10,147 crore aaye hain. Isse pata chalta hai fund managers pe bharosa hai.
Gold & Silver ETFs Mein Thanda Response
Woh gold aur silver ETFs jo pehle bahut popular the, ab unka craze kam ho gaya hai. April 2026 mein lagbhag 20,000 accounts kam hue hain. FY26 mein gold aur silver ETFs mein ₹99,280 crore aaye the, jo sabhi ETF inflows ka 55% tha. Par woh mainly global uncertainties aur price trends ki wajah se tha, equity se zyada safe lag raha tha. Inka tax advantage bhi tha, 12 mahine baad 12.5% tax lagta hai. Lekin ab lagta hai investors ko stock market phir se attract kar raha hai. Commodity ETFs ka average daily turnover ₹2,700 crore tha, jabki equity ETF ka ₹745 crore tha April 2025 se February 2026 tak.
Economy Ka Scene & Sectors
Yeh sab ho raha hai jab inflation April 2026 mein 3.48% tha, jo thoda badha hai par expected se kam hai. RBI ne repo rate 5.25% par stabilise rakha hai February 2026 se. Par kuch experts ko lagta hai ki fiscal year 2026-27 mein inflation aur global tension ki wajah se rate badh sakte hain. Middle East mein tension chal rahi hai, jisse commodity prices affect ho rahe hain. India mein ab DIIs (mutual funds, SIPs) ka role badh gaya hai, jo FIIs ke outflows ko manage kar rahe hain. Isse market ab pehle se zyada stable ho gaya hai. Sectors ki baat karein toh Defence, Realty, Metals pehle acche the, par abhi Banking, IT/AI, Infrastructure, aur Renewable Energy mein future dikh raha hai, govt policies ki wajah se. Active funds ke charges zyada hote hain (0.64% to 0.82% TER) passive ETFs ke muqable (0.20% se kam), par yeh volatile market mein flexibility de rahe hain. Jaise HDFC Flexi Cap Fund ne 2020-2025 mein 33.97% CAGR kamaya, jo kaafi solid hai. Market abhi bahut zyada overvalued nahi lag raha.
Caution Bhi Zaroori Hai
Toh haan, equity mein paisa aa raha hai, investors ko buying opportunities dikh rahi hain. Par 'buy the dip' strategy ka matlab hai ki log sirf bargain dhoondh rahe hain, koi bada economic recovery ka bharosa nahi hai. India ka stock market abhi bhi global markets ke comparison mein mehnga lag sakta hai. Small-cap stocks bhi premium pe hain. Market ka stability DIIs pe depend karta hai. Agar global conditions kharab hui ya geopolitical risks badhe, toh FIIs nikal sakte hain. Geopolitical tensions, RBI rates ka change, commodity prices ka upar-neeche hona, yeh sab risks hain. Aur haan, active funds sach mein passive se zyada kama paate hain ya nahi, yeh debate abhi bhi hai.
Aage Kya?
Analysts ko 2026 mein Indian equities ke liye positive outlook dikh raha hai. FY27 mein earnings growth 16% tak ho sakti hai. Govt policies, RBI ka cautious approach aur domestic demand support karegi. Banking, IT (AI ke saath), renewable energy, infrastructure, financial services achhe areas hain. Domestic investment stability de raha hai, par global risks ko nazarandaaz na karein aur portfolio ko diversify rakhein. Current trend dikhata hai ki investors value aur flexibility dhoondh rahe hain.
