HDFC AMC's Chirag Setalvad flags risk of equity SIP inflow moderation

• Chirag Setalvad of HDFC AMC flags a risk of moderation in equity SIP inflows.
• Monthly SIP inflows have grown significantly from Rs 5,000 crore to Rs 25,000-30,000 crore in five years.
• Even modest redemptions (10-15%) from the accumulated SIP book could offset several months of fresh inflows.
• A gradual decline in inflows, not just a sharp collapse, could meaningfully alter market sentiment.
• Setalvad highlights a material risk of slowdown, especially from younger investors with shorter investment horizons.

Why It Matters: Potential slowdown in SIPs could impact market stability and investor returns.
