The Indian mutual fund industry stands on the cusp of a transformative growth phase, with assets under management (AuM) projected to reach ₹100 trillion by the mid-2020s. This ambitious target reflects a 4x increase from the current ₹24 trillion AuM, driven by a combination of deeper penetration into tier-2 and tier-3 cities, inclusion of middle-income households, and the increasing influence of digital platforms. TVK Finmart is strategically positioned to capitalize on this unprecedented opportunity by empowering mutual fund and insurance advisors and enabling rural housewives to establish boutique wealth management practices.
India’s Mutual Fund Growth Trajectory
The mutual fund industry in India has witnessed remarkable growth over the last few years. Between March 2017 and July 2019, industry AuM grew by over 40% from ₹17.5 trillion to ₹24.5 trillion. During the same period, monthly SIP contributions nearly doubled from ₹4,335 crore to ₹8,324 crore, reducing dependency on foreign institutional investors (FIIs).
Note: This report is based on pre-COVID data, but the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the adoption of digital financial services in India, particularly in rural areas.
