We have seen a massive surge of growth in demat accounts which now stands close to 16 crore. The mutual fund industry's AUM surpassed the Rs.65 lakh crore mark in August 2024. That having said, India's MF AUM-to-GDP ratio stands at just 16%, well below the global average of 74%, highlighting significant potential for future growth. Growing population and rising income level is also leading to a surge in HNI investors which are being catered by broking and wealth management outfits to meet their investment needs. This has led to growth of entire capital market ecosystem comprising broking, depository, exchanges, RTAs and so on.”
