Role of star fund managers in India’s mutual fund sector
We will debate whether systematic processes will eventually overshadow individual discretion. Get an insider’s view on the growing significance of passive funds and ETFs, and the changing dynamics of investment management in India.
In a closed door interaction with Nilesh Shah, MD - Kotak Mutual Fund, we will discuss the role played by star fund managers in India's mutual fund sector. We will delve into the question if processes will ultimately take over star power. This is because of the growing importance of passive funds, ETFs, which is reducing discretion in investment management.
Newer AMCs such as Jio-Blackrock are basing their business models around this segment. Besides this, the emergence of AI is also making human decision-making less subjective. In such an evolving environment, is there a role left for the emergence and staying power of star fund managers, which characterized the industry for so long? If such differentiators are no longer relevant then what do investors in mutual fund schemes, and in the AMC stocks themselves, base their decisions on?This is a private event, specially curated by us to add value to the lives of our subscribers.
