There is a famous Ben Franklin quote, who said something which perfectly fits the rapidly evolving landscape of today’s business. He said “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished”
Let me begin by asking all the MFDs a very basic question, how many of you feel that there is a gap between the potential your business has and the actual performance of your business? I am sure the majority will answer a “YES”, indicating most MFDs believe that there is a gap between what they can achieve and what they are achieving.
But, why despite tremendous growth in the size of the mutual fund industry, the income of Mutual fund (MF) distributors has grown at a tepid pace. It is a clear indication that Indian MF distributors are lacking behind somewhere. And if you want the answer as to how to fill this gap or how to bridge this gap, or where MFDs are lacking, then let me give you some food for thought.
Currently what MFDs are doing to accelerate the performance of their business? The answer will be typical – setting goals, creating plans, motivating employees, and so on. The above process is just word blabbering & as ignorant as “planting thorns and hoping for mangoes”. The secret to growing your AUM and accelerating your business is actually not a secret but common sense. Yes, you heard me right, common sense. It’s just that you have to purchase the right seed, the mango seeds.
For an MFD, a competent and comprehensive wealth management software acts as those Mango Seeds. MFDs need to just invest in the right technology, the correct mutual fund software and start preparing to reap multi-fold growth.
Mutual fund software will be considered competent, comprehensive, and complete when it can provide a perfect solution to all the major challenges that MFDs are facing in their businesses.
What are the major challenges for MFDs
- Lengthy, complicated & multi-step onboarding process
- Reduced business transactions & slow client acquisition
- Quick investment redemptions or high redemption rate
- Poor client retention due to non-diversification of product portfolio & single focus on mutual funds.
- Zero product differentiation strategy drives MFDs towards heavy competition
- Lack of credible digital visibility – Impacting brand image
