Mirae Asset Investment Managers India hopes to close the current year with an AUM of Rs 1.5 lakh crore, up from Rs 1.20 lakh crore in December 2022, on the back of aggressive growth in systematic investments plans and its forte of equity-linked funds. Mirae Asset is the only Korean fund operating in the country and since its entry in 2008, it has grown to become the 12th largest fund house in the country with an AUM of Rs 1.16 lakh crore as of February 2023. Mirae Asset is fully-owned by the Mirae Financial Group of Seoul that globally manages over USD 225 billion assets.

As much as 90 per cent of its AUM are deployed in active equity funds, while the passive funds constitute Rs 3,000 crore, Swarup Mohanty, the chief executive of the fund house, told PTI.

"The industry grew at a slower pace in 2022 due to uncertainty in stock markets, and changing interest rate scenarios affecting the business environment at large. Understandably, investors have been in step with these changes by reallocating their investments between equity, debt and hybrid schemes," Gopal Kavalireddi, Head of Research at FYERS, said. While, the growth of 42-player mutual fund space in 2021 was mainly braced by a rally in the stock markets. The incre
Pension regulator Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) on Friday said the asset under management is likely to be around Rs 9 lakh crore this financial year due to market volatility. "Earlier, we were looking at an AUM of over Rs 10 lakh crore, however, due to the Russia-Ukraine war and other geopolitical scenarios the market was volatile and we are hoping to be over Rs 9 lakh crore," PFRDA Chairman Supratim Bandyopadhyay told reporters. There has been an increase in fresh funds to Rs 1.5 lakh crore as of December 2022 compared to Rs 1.3 lakh crore in the previous fiscal. As of December 2022, the number of subscribers for the National Pension Scheme (NPS) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY) grew by 24.62 per cent to 606.07 lakh from 486.35 lakh in January 2022. According to PFRDA data, the net invested contribution as on December 31, 2022, from the central government grew to Rs 1.65 lakh crore from Rs 1.37 lakh crore on January 1, 2022, states rose to Rs 3.24 lakh cro
