₹455 Lakh Crore AUM Milestone Ahead: India's Managed Funds AUM Set to Double by 2030

The latest CRISIL Intelligence and S&P Global report outlines a strong growth path for India’s managed funds sector, driven by a shift from traditional savings vehicles to market linked portfolios. 

AUM Projection to ₹455 Lakh Crore by 2030 

The report estimates assets under management will rise from ₹212 lakh crore in the most recent fiscal year to ₹455 lakh crore by fiscal 2030. This would raise the share of managed funds in gross domestic product from 64% to 73%. 

Drivers Behind the Expansion 

Investors are increasingly allocating resources to mutual funds, life insurance, retirement schemes, portfolio management services, alternative investment funds, real estate investment trusts and infrastructure investment trusts. The migration from fixed deposits to these products is a key factor.

Role of Alternatives 

The share of alternative strategies is expected to grow from roughly 7% in 2020 to about 12% by 2030. Greater transparency and product standardisation are highlighted as important for sustaining this trend. 

Implications for the Market 

A larger managed funds base creates a more stable demand for market linked products and may influence the allocation of capital across sectors. The report notes that liquidity and clear exit routes in private markets will support continued growth. 

Conclusion 

The projection to ₹455 lakh crore underscores a significant scaling of the managed funds industry, reflecting broader investor preferences for professionally managed, market linked investments.
