NS Venkatesh, Chief Executive, AMFI, said on this, “Some risk appetite is coming back. Relatively better yield offered by credit risk portfolios compared to other bond funds’ portfolios also attracted investors”.

Gold ETFs were in the list of funds that received good inflows. These funds experienced net inflows of Rs 624 crore in January against Rs 430 crore in the previous month. And the only reason behind this was falling gold prices.
