  "account": "Mutual fund systematic investment plan (SIP) inflows reached a record high of ₹32,297 crore in August, despite market volatility caused by geopolitical tensions and higher crude oil prices. Systematic investments in small-cap funds remained strong at ₹7,973 crore, compared to ₹7,767 crore in July. Mid-cap funds saw even higher inflows of ₹6,989 crore, up from ₹6,192 crore the previous month. The number of SIP accounts also hit an all-time high of 10.2 crore, up from 9.9 crore in July. AMFI CEO Venkat Chalasani attributed the continued investor confidence in India's growth story to the RBI's ability to absorb $127 billion. SBI Mutual Fund's Manish Mehta noted that mid-cap and small-cap schemes accounted for a significant portion of inflows. Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC's Harish Krishnan highlighted the importance of staying committed to asset-allocation plans during volatile market conditions. Nippon India Mutual Fund's Saugata Chatterjee observed a growing preference for diversification and balanced portfolio allocation amid global uncertainty, with strong interest in Gold ETFs and multi-asset allocation funds. Canara Robeco AMC's Gaurav Goyal emphasized the need for mutual funds to help investors remain focused on their financial goals and investment horizons.",
