Mutual Fund Industry Highlights Need for Fixed-Income Growth and Tax Parity in India
India's mutual fund industry has expanded significantly over the past decade, driven mainly by equity investments, while fixed-income assets have lagged. Industry leaders at the Moneycontrol Mutual Fund Summit highlighted concerns about the growing 'equitisation' of savings and emphasized the need for a balanced flow of domestic savings into both equity and fixed-income funds. They also called for tax parity between debt mutual funds and listed bonds to encourage investment in fixed-income instruments and support the development of the corporate bond market.
