This ‘Equity Yatra’ is an effort of the fund house to increase its engagement with the financial intermediaries and through them to reach out to investors who need right guidance at the time of market volatility.

During the Yatra we will highlight our proprietary process and emphasize the behavioural gaps that could impact investor experience.”
