Mutual fund industry veteran A Balasubramanian could have been an agriculturist, banker, or software engineer, but as fate would have it, this village boy became head of one of India’s biggest asset management companies (AMCs).
In his career spanning more than 30 years in the asset management sector, Balasubramanian has been a trader, dealer, portfolio manager, and chief investment officer (CIO). He has also been on both sides of the market – fixed income and equity.
Balasubramanian is today the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, which has assets under management (AUM) of around Rs 3 trillion. Here is his life journey.
