Mint Mutual Fund Conclave 2018

Mint Mutual Fund Conclave 2018

Overview

The Mint Mutual Funds Conclave FY 2019: Growth or consolidation?

The last five years have been eventful for the Indian mutual funds industry. A surge in equity markets and falling interest rates in the economy have drawn investors towards mutual fund investments. A focussed effort by the industry towards educating investors through the ‘Mutual funds sahi hain’ has yielded results and said to have made a good impact. Meanwhile, fund managers have seen their assets under management grow amidst rising inflows and markets.

The regulations were not far behind. Infact the year of 2017 saw, what was probably, the biggest piece of regulation that the mutual fund industry has ever seen; rationalisation of categories and consolidation of schemes. Mutual funds are still in the process of rationalising and re-categorising their schemes; the effects of which will be felt for a long time.

With the past is being stitched up, the roadmap for future is laid out. Industry is set to get competitive and performance matrices have been standardised. As we move to an era where some fund houses see themselves listed on stock exchanges, we move to a phase where fund houses are expected to focus more on profitability than assets growth, while being cognizant of potential inflows. Will the industry live up to people’s expectations?
