Corporate SBIMF achieves the largest ever active mutual fund launch in India

SBIMF, the joint venture between SBI, India’s premier and largest bank[1], and Amundi, Europe’s leading asset manager[2] launched the SBIMF Balanced Advantage Fund in August and achieved an all-time record for net sales for any new active Fund in the Indian market, raising over $2 billion in fourteen days[3].

The fund is a multi-asset fund which aims to provide investors with an opportunity for long term capital appreciation through the capture of the potential upside and limitation of the downside in volatile equity markets through the use of proprietary indicators.

This success comes on top of SBIMF’s outstanding development over the past 5 years, outpacing the market and becoming by far the leader in the Indian asset management industry, with a 15.7% market share in Mutual Funds and total assets of $178bn[4].

SBIMF has an asset management background dating back to 1987. Today, the joint venture brings together the extensive distribution capacity of SBI’s network in India with Amundi’s international experience.
