Karvy India Wealth Report 2015

This report indicates that as of Mar’15, the overall wealth share of real estate has remained flat while that of gold, silver and platinum has actually gone down. Amongst the financial assets, while direct equity and fixed deposits are the top two investment vehicles; mutual funds have seen the maximum incremental growth of allocation of new money. An important fact that I want to present to you is that this latest data, we have analyzed shows that while the percentage wealth allocation for India vis-a-vis the world is similar for real estate and debt, the equity allocation is much lesser (16 % v/s 27 %). The key question is will India catch up with the rest of the World on equity allocation?
