The India-focused offshore funds and ETF category, comprising prominent investment vehicles through which foreign investors invest in the Indian equity markets, witnessed net inflows of $126 million for the quarter ended September (Q2), after 17 consecutive quarters of net outflows. The category had seen outflows of $1.58 billion in the previous quarter.
The offshore funds segment saw net inflows of $103 million, while the ETF segment witnessed net inflows of $23 million. This is for the first time since the quarter ended June 2017 that both these segments received quarterly net inflows.
While the Sensex gained 8.31% during the quarter, the BSE midcap and smallcap rose by 14.46% and 14.79%, respectively. FPIs bought shares in July ($618 million) and August ($6.44 billion), but sold $903 million in September as high inflation dashed hopes that the Fed would scale down its rate hikes.
