Is this right time to invest in gold? Here's what fund managers have to say

Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in India experienced outflows totaling INR 395.69 crore in April, marking the first monthly outflow in a year. Despite this, fund managers believe that gold will continue to be a relevant and safe hedge for investors during periods of market volatility. Gold ETFs have historically grown during challenging times and the asset under management of these funds increased by about 150% in 2020. Additionally, the popularity of gold as an investment strategy is attributed to its exceptional performance, with the compound annual growth rate exceeding 50% in the domestic market.

Women fund managers struggle to see their tribe grow. Can fund houses help?

The number of women fund managers in the Indian Mutual Funds industry has remained constant at 42, which is less than 10% of the total fund managers. This is primarily due to the limited talent pool of women in the industry, as brokerage houses, where many fund managers start, have traditionally been male-dominated. Additionally, by the time women reach the qualifying stage for fund management, they often reach marriageable age and may prioritize family responsibilities. However, fund houses acknowledge the value and diversity women bring to the industry and are actively working towards increasing their representation through initiatives like hiring women as management trainees and providing support during maternity breaks.

VC bigwigs breaking away to start anew struggle to raise funds

Several venture capital partners who have left their firms to start their own have encountered difficulties in raising capital. Investors currently prefer the higher returns provided by the public markets, which makes it challenging for these new fund managers to convince limited partners to invest in private markets. However, some believe that a correction in the public markets is imminent, leading to potential opportunities for venture capital funds. The departure of partners to establish their own funds has occurred due to factors such as niche opportunities, internal conflicts, and corporate governance issues. The track record of a fund and its managers plays a significant role in attracting investors, but proving this track record can be challenging for newly established funds.
