New Delhi, Sept. 11 -- The AMFI August 2026 data shows a significant change in the inflow data for two hybrid fund categories that you may have missed. Balanced hybrid and aggressive hybrid funds were clubbed together in the July 2026 data, with a total of 33 funds recording net inflows of Rs.1,986 crore.

However, in August 2026, the two categories were reported separately. Four balanced hybrid funds recorded net inflows of Rs.1,836 crore, while 30 aggressive hybrid funds recorded inflows of Rs.1,323 crore.

As per SEBI's categorisation rule, balanced hybrid funds must invest 40%-60% each in equity and debt instruments. Aggressive hybrid funds must invest 65%-80% in equity and 20%-35% in debt.
