Returns less than 1 year are on absolute basis and more than or equal one year are on compounded annualised basis. Calculation assume that all payouts during the period have been reinvested in the units of the scheme at the then prevailing NAV.
Reliance Growth Fund – The Fund was launched on October 8, 1995, and focuses on companies in the mid-cap segment, while having some exposure to large-cap stocks. The Fund has a well established track record of over 20 years and has outperformed the benchmark consistently for all the time periods under consideration since inception.
Future Outlook - The Indian Mutual Fund industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the financial services sector with 41 AMCs currently operating in the country. The industry quarterly AAUM has changed with an absolute growth rate of 16% over last year with Rs. 18,29,534 crore of quarterly average assets as on March 31, 2017.
Your Company intends to aggressively pursue growth opportunities in the mutual fund industry both domestic and international and therefore be the most preferred investment choice for investors. Your Company expects that an emerging market like India would experience a sustained higher growth rate. Given the country’s high household savings rate along with the current low levels of investments by retail investors where only less than 3% of the household savings is channeled into capital markets, your Company believes that the Mutual Fund Industry is still in a nascent stage and has a huge opportunity for growth and expansion. Being one of the large players in the Industry, your Company will continue investing in growing the market size, achieving product innovation, educating the investors, increasing the distribution reach, enhancing customer service infrastructure with aggressive expansion strategies.
