Balasubramanian, Chief Executive Officer, Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company Limited says, “Over several discussions with investors and distributors across more than 30 cities, I got the sense that customers are increasingly looking for a solutions, and not necessarily a product.

Systematic Investment Plan emerged as the obvious go-to.” 

 

2015 was a stellar year for the Indian market. As DII flows exceeded that from FIIs, domestic mutual fund investment contributed Rs 3,000-3,500 crorelogo-sabse-important-plan-2

to equity market from Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) alone. The retail investor’s return to equity and financial savings instruments is an early sign of his financial maturity. This can be taken up notches by extending his time spent in the market, driving disciplined, incremental step-ups to his investment, and developing his outlook to long-term wealth creation. BSLMF’s ‘Sabse Important Plan’ uses a goal-oriented approach to SIP investments to encourage these behaviours.

“Our ‘Sabse Important Plan’ effort complements the larger objective of the Mutual Fund Industry to grow customer base, and enhance retail participation. Although SIP registrations have been on the rise, there is not only great scope for growth, but also greater scope to strenghten persistency,” says A. Balasubramanian.

BSLMF’s ‘Sabse Important Plan’ uses a host of communication vehicles for reach and interactivity across investor and distribution touchpoints. The campaign uses a unique microsite https://sipnow.birlasunlife.com/ to provide wealth creation, tax saving and savings solutions to customers depending on their life stage and goals by allowing them to invest in mutual fund schemes through SIPs. This can be used by distributors and investors alike to execute SIPs easily with a single consolidated monthly payment which gets apportioned to various schemes as per the investor’s risk profile. The surround strategy includes on-ground activation, flash mobs, direct emailers across audience clusters and branding across BSLMF’s national network, supported by social and digital engagement and call-centre integration.
