The next BIG growth idea for IFAs

Himanshu Vyapak, Deputy CEO, Reliance Nippon AMC

Friends,

Yesterday, I took you through the journey of Think BIG and the BIG ideas that we have shared with you each year, each of which have indeed turned out to be BIG business growth drivers. Here is our BIG idea of this year…..

Let's discuss the size of this opportunity first

The MF Industry has displayed stellar growth over the years - at 14.41 Lakh Crores of Quarterly Average AUM as of June 2016, number of folios nearing the 5 Crore mark, the number of SIPs crossing the 100 Lakh milestone, B-15 AUM nearing 2.5 Lakh Crs, the Industry numbers are at historic peak, and growing at a healthy pace. Every reason to rejoice!

While as an Industry we have come a long way, opportunities ahead of us abound, and are much larger. Consider only this fact: Indian individuals hold a whopping 14.5 Lakh Crs only as Cash! (source: RBI) That's the size of the entire MF Industry put together. And every year, there is a fresh cash accretion of nearly 1 Lakh Crs. Another 20 Lakh Crs is in Savings Deposits, typically used by individuals to park short-term funds, earning small interest in the process. The total number of SB account holders is estimated to be 40 Crs. Contrast this with the total investments by individuals in liquid mutual funds - a paltry 25,000 Crs and 3.5 Lac folios - you get the big picture!

What if you are able to play a role in this space - offer alternative solutions to Cash and Savings Deposits? Could you help your investors earn competitive returns? Customers also would like to have immediate access to their funds. Could you address that requirement? Could you simply have better control over your investors' cash flows? By addressing the huge opportunity in this space (35 Lakh Crs), could you become a banker to your investors?
