Alternative assets surged twice as fast as mutual funds in 5-yrs: Report

The country's alternative investment industry, comprising Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), has witnessed remarkable growth in the last five years, outpacing traditional mutual funds, the latest revealed data by PMS Bazaar on Wednesday. Over the past five years (from June FY19 to June FY24), the alternative investment industry has witnessed a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26 per cent, with assets under management (AUM) reaching Rs 13.74 lakh crore as of June FY24, according to the data. This growth rate is more than double that of the mutual fund industry, which recorded a CAGR of 13 per cent with an AUM of Rs 46.63 lakh crore as of August 2023. The PMS Bazaar said that the surge in the alternative investment industry could be attributed to several factors such as rising income levels that have broadened accessibility to alternative investments, catering to a diverse range of High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Ultra-High-Net-Wort

Mutual funds see muted growth in 2022, expect better days in new year

After a spectacular 2021, the mutual fund industry failed to continue the momentum this year with the growth in asset base, investors count and flows subsiding in 2022 on volatile market conditions, but the New Year is expected to be relatively better. The industry grew at a slower pace in 2022, mainly due to global headwinds, including the Russia-Ukraine war, supply chain bottlenecks and a decadal high global inflation coupled with rising interest rates. The 2021 growth was mainly braced by a rally in the stock markets. The assets under management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry rose by 7 per cent or Rs 2.65 lakh crore in 2022. This was way lower than a surge of nearly 22 per cent or an increase of close to Rs 7 lakh crore in the asset base seen in 2021, data from the Association of Mutual Fund Industry (Amfi) showed. Swapnil Bhaskar, Head of Strategy, Niyo, said the mutual fund industry growth in 2023 is expected to be in line with the current trend with estimated assets under .
