16th Mutual Fund Summit

India is poised to become a different and vibrant economy by the year 2047. Our journey toward this vision requires robust economic development, adequate capital formation, and strategic investments. Mutual Funds play a crucial role in this vision as they are the link between savings and investments & between aspirations and achievements. They provide the financial resources required for long-term sustainable development. There are opportunities for substantial growth in the market capitalization which would drive the advancement of primary and secondary market, bond market, fund management sector and mutual fund industry.

In today’s volatile market environment, mutual funds are looked upon as a transparent and low cost investment vehicle, which attracts a fair share of investor attention promoting the growth of the industry. The Indian mutual fund industry is one of the fastest growing and most competitive segments of the financial sector. The robust market performance over the past few months helped investors renew faith in stock market. There is need to encourage small investors to either invest through Mutual Fund mechanisms, or take investment decisions only after getting adequate information about risks and rewards. As the industry sensitizes itself to the changing regulatory landscape, business strategies are gearing to respond to these developments. Amidst this changing business and regulatory environment, Asset Management Companies and all service providers, including distributors, have to re-examine their business models and embrace the changing business landscapes.

Therefore, in order to discuss these aspects further in mutual fund industry, best investment practices and investors’ protection, ASSOCHAM is organizing 16^th Mutual Fund Summit - Unlocking the Potential: Exploring Investment Opportunities for Viksit Bharat at 9:30 a.m. on August 9, 2024 at Hotel Le Meridien in New Delhi. There will be a large participation by the stakeholders to discuss and define the next phase of growth of mutual fund industry along with challenges and solutions.
