Private Sector MFs Celebrating Silver Jubilee: ‘Industry Kept Up Reputation:’ A Balasubramanian https://ift.tt/2OJ0EjT

Private sector MFs are celebrating silver jubilee in August 2018. A Balasubramanian, the Chairman of AMFI and the Chief Executive Officer of Aditya Birla Sun Life MF, shares his perspective on the journey of the mutual industry in the past 25 years, during a recent interview.

Indian mutual fund industry has made considerable progress in setting up itself as a standout amongst the most presumed financial market intermediary over the most recent 25 years. Since 1994, the market advanced seeing various cycles of different kinds, said Balasubramanian.

The MF industry moved far from local to global, coordinating with global money related markets progressively. Regulatory environment progressed at the same rate as that of the growth rate of the mutual fund industry and got advanced consistently through learning along the way.

“Mutual fund industry has kept up the reputation of being the caretaker of a large pool of investors’ money with least damage and best possible benefits to its investors,” said the CEO of Aditya Birla Sun Life MF, the private sector MFs company which is the fourth largest fund house in India based on domestic average AUM.

Balasubramanian feels that the regulatory change had remained consistent during his entire MF industry journey, apart from figuring out how to live in VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) world.

It was fundamental that the money managers’ practices be tested in the form of an enhanced regulation. Sometimes, Balasubramanian states that regulation got advanced after observing market practices besides considering the outcome for investors. Actually, the MF industry activities continued to be responsible for the regulatory changes.

Balasubramanian began his journey in the MF industry in 1992. He has great experience in the debt market space before he became the CIO (Chief Investment Officer) and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) at the Aditya Birla Sun Life MF. He has completed nine years as CEO at the fund house.

The AMFI Chairman joined the industry when there were only public sector players, and then moved from public sector MFs to private sector MFs after much hesitation, he said, during the interview with The Economic Times.
