Improved market sentiments helped mutual funds' assets under management (AUM) soar by Rs 80,000 crore or nine per cent to Rs 9.85 lakh crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal, reported PTI. The country's 44 fund houses together had an average AUM of Rs 9.85 lakh crore during April-June quarter of 2014-15, up from Rs 9.05 lakh crore in the preceding three months, according to the latest data available with Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), as per the media reports. However, AUM had touched a record Rs 10.11 lakh crore at the end of May, as per the reports in the media. Industry experts said the quarterly rise in AUM is largely on account of gains in equity markets. Besides, retail participation in equity schemes has increased significantly during the recent months. According to media reports, during the quarter, BSE mid-cap grew by an impressive 32 per cent, while BSE 100 accelerated by 15 per cent and benchmark Sensex moved up by over 13 per cent.
