HDFC AMC, CAMS, other capital market stocks fall up to 3% as MF inflows decline 26% in February

Shares of HDFC Asset Management Company (HDFC AMC), Computer Age Management Services (CAMS), Angel One and other capital market firms declined on Wednesday as equity mutual fund inflows registered a sharp 26 percent drop in February amid market volatility.

According to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) on March 12, equity mutual fund inflows fell to Rs 29,303.34 crore in February 2025 from the previous month, reflecting investor caution in a volatile market environment.

The overall assets under management (AUM) of the Indian mutual fund industry also took a hit, declining 4.04 percent to Rs 64.53 lakh crore in February from Rs 67.25 lakh crore in January. The drop was attributed to market losses in the equity segment.
