In a recent episode of the ETMarkets webinar, Prateek Agrawal, Managing Director and CEO of Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company (MOAMC), shared valuable insights on wealth creation in India's dynamic market. He emphasized the firm's commitment to a focused, growth-oriented investment strategy, highlighting its unique position in the mutual fund landscape. Agrawal noted that MOAMC employs the QGLP (Quality, Growth, Longevity, Price) framework, which aligns the interests of the firm with its investors, as a significant factor in its success. The firm has achieved over ₹1.5 lakh crore (approximately $180 billion USD) in assets under management, with a substantial portion being invested by the firm's own employees.

Agrawal also discussed the importance of embracing volatility, stating that investors should not expect consistent index-like performance from MOAMC's actively managed funds. Instead, he encouraged a balanced approach, combining growth-focused funds with value strategies. Looking ahead, Agrawal expressed optimism about the Indian economy and the potential for mutual fund growth, predicting that the fund industry will expand significantly faster than the overall economy. He urged young investors, particularly Gen Z, to focus on the power of compounding earnings and to prioritize organic growth for sustainable wealth creation. As Agrawal concluded, the time for growth investing is ripe, with opportunities for alpha expected to persist.
