Largecaps record 28% jump in inflows, Midcaps and Smallcaps see sharp declines. Is safety back in focus?

Largecap mutual funds saw a 28% jump in inflows in January even as Midcap and Smallcap inflows declined sharply, signalling a tactical shift towards safety amid market correction. Experts say the move reflects short-term risk management rather than a structural change, and advise investors to focus on disciplined asset allocation and rebalancing.
