Gold ETFs attract highest inflows in 5 months with record Rs 2,081 crore in June
Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed inflows of Rs 2,080.85 crore in June 2025, Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) data showed on Wednesday. This is the highest inflow in five months, amid bullion prices in the domestic market reaching near all-time highs.
ETF inflows also recorded a six-fold growth on a monthly basis this month compared to Rs 292 crore in May, the AFFI data showed.
“Gold ETFs witnessed a sharp uptick in investor interest in June 2025, recording the highest monthly inflow since January. This builds on the modest recovery in May, following muted activity and marginal outflows in March and April,” said Nehal Meshram, Senior Analyst – Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India.
“The robust inflows in June indicate a decisive shift in sentiment, likely supported by resilient gold prices, geopolitical uncertainties, and volatility in equity and fixed income markets”, the analyst added.
What is ETF?
Bullion ETFs are passive investment vehicles that track the movement in gold prices. In March and April, when the prices of the yellow metal were skyrocketing, investors withdrew money from gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to book profits.
Meanwhile, as per AMFI data, mutual fund systematic investment plan (SIP) inflows rose to a record high of Rs 27,269 crore in the said month, up 2 per cent from the previous month’s figure of Rs 26,688 crore.
According to the data, SIP inflows have crossed the Rs 27,000 crore mark for the first time.
The total net assets under management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry reached an all-time high of Rs 74.41 lakh crore, compared to Rs 72.20 lakh crore in May and Rs 69.99 lakh crore in April.
In June, a total of Rs 49,301 crore was invested in mutual funds, which is 67 per cent (monthly) higher than the investment of Rs 29,572 crore in May. At the same time, investment in equity mutual funds increased by 24 per cent to Rs 23,587 crore. Strong investment was seen in all equity categories, except ELSS funds.
