The ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has achieved a new milestone, exceeding Rs 10 trillion in AUM (Assets Under Management) across its mutual fund schemes. It became the second Indian AMC (Asset Management Company) to do so after SBI Mutual Fund.
The fund house became India's second largest AMC during the September quarter, when its AUM grew the quickest among the top 5 fund houses. ICICI Prudential MF's AUM increased by 7.5% from the previous quarter.
The fund company is a partnership between ICICI Bank & Prudential PLC. It has been one of the largest asset managers in India’s mutual fund industry for a very long time. Over the past five years, the average quarterly AUM of this Mutual Fund has risen at a 22.8% CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate), which is at par with the industry's growth rate. The first AMC to cross the Rs 10 trillion AUM milestone was SBI Mutual Fund, which achieved this mark in June 2024.

This number indicates that ordinary people in India are finally seeing mutual fund investments as the smartest way to build their future and not as a gamble".
