How we got this number

  1. Read the 'Grand Total' row of AMFI's monthly report for September 2026: 1,995 schemes as on 30 September 2026.
  2. Read the open-ended total, 1,948, and the close-ended total, 45, from the same report. The remaining 2 are interval schemes.
  3. Take the Grand Total from each earlier monthly report for the history, March to August 2026.

What this number does not tell you

  • AMFI counts schemes, not fund houses. One fund house runs many schemes, and a scheme can have several plans and options.
  • A scheme count is not a count of investors. The folios figure (28,62,31,680) counts accounts, and one person can hold many folios.
  • AMFI shows Fund of Funds (Domestic) separately for information; they are already included in the underlying scheme categories.
  • AMFI does not publish a unique investor count in this monthly report, so this page does not give one.
