August 23, 2024 | Taj Santacruz, Mumbai

Dear Friend,

Alternate investments, encompassing a wide range of assets outside traditional stocks, bonds, and cash, have seen remarkable growth in India over the past decade.

While many factors are responsible for this growth, two factors stand out:

Search for high returns - With traditional investments often yielding lower returns due to various economic factors, investors are increasingly seeking higher returns through alternate investments. The benefit of using alternatives is the potential for higher returns that are less correlated with traditional financial assets.

Different strokes for different folks - As the economy grows leading to an increase in wealth and the wealthy, it creates a market for exclusive and bespoke products. Portfolio Management Services, for example, can be customized completely keeping in mind investor risk profile and preferences. AIFs too with their high minimums and cap on number of investors feed the need for uniqueness.

This provides a great opportunity to those engaged in wealth management, distribution and advisory services.

Diversifies earning streams beyond conventional products like mutual funds and insurance

Provides a chance to gain access to the rich and affluent with the right products

In this context, I am excited to share with you that we are organizing CafeAlt Conference 2024 with the aim to gather all stakeholders – wealth managers, distributors, bankers, manufacturers and everyone in the eco system to come on a single platform and deliberate on ways to grow the Alternatives pie.

So, mark your calendar – CafeAlt Conference is on August 23, 2024 at Taj Santacruz, Mumbai.

See you then!
