Finance minister Arun Jaitley who was present in the Upper House maintained a stoic silence on the issue. He chose not to respond, leaving the fate of the Rs 2,000 pink note to anybody’s guess. What message does the government want to send across people? Another round of demonetisation would further break
the already broken backs of the common man, for the first move did not unearth any earth-shattering amounts. The bombast of rhetoric that the demonetization would curb the terror activity in Jammu and Kashmir turned out to be a joke. As an old maxim suggests, India is experiencing the reality of ‘Speech is silver, but silence is money.’

'MF Industry Holds Potential To Reach A Size Of Rs 94 Trillion By 2025'

It is here that mutual funds come into play as they serve investors across a range of risk appetites, says A Balasubramanian, Chairman of the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) and CEO, Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund. While mutual funds are a safer option for those wary of direct equity, Balasubramanian feels that ‘lack of conviction’ is among the chief reasons that keep people away from mutual funds. In this vein the AMFI chief also talks about the association’s efforts to increase investor awareness, MF penetration in smaller cities and the path ahead for the industry, in this interview to the Finapolis’ S Vijaykrishnan.
