Broader Index Investing Simple Yet Powerful | MF Banega BFF

In this episode of MF Banega BFF, we decode the evolving landscape of Broader Index Investing — and why it’s catching the eye of India’s new-age investors. In our opening segment, MF Rundown, we unpacked some key developments: ● SEBI’s new incentive structure for distributors to attract investors from B30 cities ● Regulatory changes around demat and mutual fund folio nominations increasing the number of nominees you can add to 10! ● SEBI has also revised cut-off timings for redemptions in Overnight and Liquid Mutual Fund schemes These shifts are expected to influence investor behaviour across upcoming market cycles. Next we engaged in a conversation with Saurabh Mittal, CFA & Co-Founder of Circle Wealth Advisors Private Limited, where we explored how retail investors are increasingly driven by emotions, accessibility, and peer influence. He shared how many are “trying the dessert first” — experimenting with thematic and newer passive products — and only then coming back to traditional options like Nifty 50 and Sensex funds. This behavioural trend is redefining the typical investor journey. In the final part of the episode, we spoke to Siddharth Srivastava, Head - ETF Product & Fund Manager, at Mirae Asset Investment Managers India, who elaborated on the innovation boom in the passive space — from smart beta and multi-factor funds to thematic ETFs like EVs, defense, and digital consumption. He also highlighted how access to real-time data has changed the game: today’s investors can easily benchmark performance, track underperformance, and identify opportunities much faster than before. Whether you're a first-time investor or a seasoned pro, this episode helps you better understand your investing behaviour — and build a smarter, more disciplined plan.
