AMFI’s inclusive SIP series is used consistently. Contributions are money invested, not gains. A SIP does not remove market risk or assure returns.
WHAT CHANGED · SEPTEMBER 2026
SIP contributions rose.
Industry assets moved lower.
Monthly SIP contributions rose 0.6% from August 2026, while month-end industry AUM fell 5.1%.
Money coming in and the value of invested assets are different measures. Market movements and withdrawals can reduce AUM even when SIP contributions increase.

A small step today: keep your claim information ready
- Check that the policy is active, who is insured and the applicable coverage conditions.
- Keep the insurer or TPA contact and claim-assistance process easy to find.
- Organise policy details, relevant treatment records and claim correspondence.
- Tell a trusted family member where the information is kept.
- Ask about waiting periods, exclusions, co-payments, deductibles and sub-limits.
This checklist is general awareness; the insurer’s policy wording and claim requirements apply.
Learn about health insurance ↗KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Four distinctions that matter
Folios ≠ unique investors
A folio is an account used to hold mutual fund investments. One investor may have several, so 28.62 crore folios does not mean 28.62 crore people.
AUM growth ≠ investment return
AUM is the value of assets managed at a point in time. New money, withdrawals and market prices all affect it. Your return depends on your own holdings, transactions, costs and dates.
Claims paid ≠ settlement ratio
A paid amount shows money paid out. A settlement ratio compares paid claims with a defined set of claims and may be measured by count or value. It cannot tell you whether your own claim will be accepted.
Industry data ≠ a recommendation
Large industry numbers do not establish that a product suits you. Start with your goal, time horizon, liquidity needs and ability to bear risk.
