Pune’s Mutual Fund AUM Tops ₹3.13 Lakh Crore, Ranks Fourth Nationally

Pune has consolidated its position as a leading investment centre, with mutual fund assets under management (AUM) reaching ₹3,13,238 crore, making it the fourth-largest city in India in AUM terms, according to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).

Maharashtra continues to dominate the industry, accounting for ₹32,39,486 crore — 40.4% of India’s total mutual fund AUM of ₹80,23,379 crore as of December 2025. Pune contributes 9.7% of the state’s AUM.

Commenting on the state’s outlook, Mr. Venkat Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI, said:
“Pune represents the next phase of India’s mutual fund growth story. The city’s strong economic fundamentals, entrepreneurial culture, and growing salaried class provide fertile ground for long-term investing. Mutual funds offer diversification, professional management, and transparency — enabling investors to transition from traditional savings to structured wealth creation. Our effort is to ensure that every investor participates with awareness, discipline, and a long-term perspective.”

Retail participation remains strong, with 79,65,702 mutual fund folios in the city. Maharashtra has 2,10,11,875 SIP folios and SIP assets worth ₹4,50,382.60 crore, representing 27% of India’s total SIP AUM.

Maharashtra also accounts for 1,06,23,417 unique investors, including 30.4% women investors — above the national average. The state’s 86,680 ARN holders, including 10,496 in Pune, ensure wide advisory access.

AMFI said disciplined, long-term participation and SIP-led investing will remain key to sustaining this growth momentum.
