Over 200 investors congregated at the recently held investor awareness camp in Kolkata, the first in a series of nation-wide camps. Similar camps will be organized in other cities in different parts of the country through the year.
Kanak Jain of Nirvana said “Good number of advisors also visited and played the games at the Investor Camp called ‘Learn to Earn’. Investors and advisors have given encouraging feedback on ‘Volatility Game’. Advisors have learned a lot about volatility through this game. We look forward to creating awareness of mutual funds through these investor camps in a fun way. The idea behind the game is that volatility is a game and let’s all play it and earn from it.”
Kanak Jain aims to write at least 25000 financial plans through this initiative. Through this camp, advisors get to acquire new clients. “We are inviting households that earn Rs. 10 lakh and above in these camps. We have developed an interesting game which will teach about volatility to investors. We will share the details of prospective clients with the participating IFAs,” adds Kanak.
A number of desks were put up to help investors resolve their queries on tax, do risk profiling and financial planning, and get them to understand various investment options.
The organizers – Nirvana are conducting these events by associating with rotary clubs, merchant and trade associations, chartered accountants and other such groups in different cities across India.
The event is supported by Birla Sun Life MF, ICICI Prudential MF and Reliance MF. Cafemutual is the media partner for this event.
