Moving to Equity Oriented Schemes, there are exclusively open-end funds, totaling 42 schemes. These schemes have successfully mobilized a substantial sum of Rs 26,564 crore. This dominance in funds mobilization within the equity category suggests a strong investor preference for open-end equity schemes launched.
