those uncertain about where to start, diversified equity funds or hybrid categories provide a balanced entry point while instilling long-term investment discipline.

How are regulatory and structural reforms influencing your investment strategy?

Regulatory and structural reforms have been a cornerstone of building greater transparency, accountability and investor trust in capital markets. A particularly exciting development is the introduction of the specialised investment fund (SIF) category, which we believe can be a catalyst to greater product innovation and deeper investor participation aligned with India’s long-term growth story. By embedding such reforms into our investment process, we are building strategies that are forward-looking, disciplined, and resilient — ensuring that we remain aligned with both regulatory vision and aspirations of investors.
