The monthly decline in AUM is largely an account of withdrawal from money market
New Delhi: The asset base of mutual fund industry dropped by Rs 5,344 crore to Rs 10.90 lakh crore in November mainly on account of outflow from 'money market' segment. The country's 45 fund houses together had an average AUM of Rs 10,90,309 crore at the end of November 30, 2014, down from Rs 10,95,653 crore in the preceding month, according to the data by Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
The AUM data for individual fund house is not being disclosed. Industry experts said the monthly decline in AUM is largely on account of withdrawal from money market or liquid segment.
