Inflows into equity mutual funds fell for the third straight month in July—the longest stretch in two years—as markets remained volatile amid rising crude prices and threat of a global trade war.

Equity assets under management during the month, however, hit an all-time high of Rs 10.45 lakh crore, according to a report by ICICI Direct Research. Investments through systematic investment plans were also at a record Rs 7,554 crore in July, it said.

HDFC Asset Management Company remains the largest fund manager by equity assets. Total money managed by the fund house in July stood at Rs 3.01 lakh crore, the report said.
