With less than a week to go, Cafemutual Confluence 2019 is the talk of the MF industry. This time, the keenly awaited event of the Indian MF Industry is scheduled on October 23 at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.
To get a sense on the buzz building up to this event, we spoke with some of the reputed advisors in the industry. Here is what these advisors have to say about Cafemutual Confluence 2019:
Mumbai IFA Azeem Jagani of Composite Investment Services is keen to get a perspective on how the MF industry will shape up in the near future. “At the Cafemutual Confluence 2019, I will be looking forward to industry trends from a regulator, advisor and investor perspective.”
Nashik IFA Ajay Kale and President of Guntavanuk Vikas Pratinidhi Sanstha (GPVS) hopes to identify a few key trends at this event. “Every year, I go to this event with a blank slate and come out noticing multiple trends. With the range of speakers and panels, I have always learnt different things like use of technology, business practices, marketing etc. etc. I am looking for a similar experience this time as well.”
Agra IFA Shifali Satsangee of FundsVedaa said that with the theme being ‘Real people. Real stories. Real success’, she would like to meet a few HNIs and their interest in AIF space. “I know that the main point of discussion is going to be about mutual funds. However, I do not limit this event to only mutual funds. There will be HNIs in this event. Therefore, this gives me an opportunity to interact with people whose core portfolio is mutual funds, but they are also looking for other financial products such as AIFs.”
Mumbai IFA Sadashiv Arvind Phene said that confluence by Cafemutual have always been a great platform to gain knowledge and interact with the advisory fraternity. With investors taking part this time, one more dimension has been added to the event. “It will only make it more interesting,” he said.
Mumbai RIA Suresh Sadagopan of Ladder7 Financial Advisories said that apart from trends in investment, he is looking forward to listen to Bibek Debroy, Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister. “His take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s economic priorities and challenges is something that I am keen to hear.”
