The fund house intends to increase its market share by showcasing its products and processes to prospective investors and distributors. BSLAMC aims at capturing a large piece of Chandigarh's market share by focussing on 3 pillars of its success – Clarity, Commitment and Consistency.

 A. Balasubramanian, CEO, Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company said that punjab has a 0.94%[2]share of India's overall Mutual Fund investments of Rs. 12,07,720[3] crores. Chandigarh clocks in 0.27%[4] market share. The market's potential remains to be tapped as a lot more investors stand to benefit from mutual fund investments. We believe that we can help increase this number significantly.Our efforts to increase mutual fund penetrationled to a significant increase in foliosover the last year, and our Investment Voyage event in Chandigarh today, is only another step in this direction. A. Balasubramanian added that we have seen a strong interest in equity from Chandigarh, a testimony of the investors' interest to participate in equity and thus in India's growth story. SIPs are also gaining favouracross Punjab as more and more investors are beginning to realize the power of compounding.

Mahesh Patil, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company said that this is the time for investors to make additional allocation and stay invested in equities. Equities do well in a period of increasing economic growth and lower inflation – the combination which exists today. Exiting from equity mutual funds might be easy and attractive now, but re-entry would be difficult and could be at higher levels.
