Mumbai: Axis Mutual Fund has announced the launch of its flagship investor awareness campaign, #SochaSamjhaNivesh. This initiative aims to simplify investment concepts and empower new investors with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions. The first series focuses on educating investors about the benefits of Multicap funds through a comprehensive 360-degree approach.
Equity markets have shown resilience, attracting more new investors. However, many are driven by confusion or FOMO, eager to maximise gains but unsure where to start. They often prioritize returns while being cautious of investing complexities. For these investors, Multicap Funds, which invest across large, mid, and small market capitalizations, can be a valuable addition to their portfolio. The #SochaSamjhaNivesh platform leverages this insight in its inaugural series to highlight the potential benefits of Multicap Funds for new investors.
Axis Mutual Fund MD & CEO B. Gopkumar stated, “In today's fast-paced investment landscape, investors can easily be overwhelmed by complex decisions and the allure of immediate gratification. #SochaSamjhaNivesh aims to provide investors with the relevant information needed to make investment decisions thereby, empowering investors to make informed choices. The current market landscape is such that there are relevant opportunities across all three segments (large, mid, and small). Therefore, by focusing on Multicap funds in our inaugural series, we aim to showcase a diversified and accessible equity investment solution without sacrificing simplicity.
Building on the success of the #SochaSamjhaRisk series, which educated investors on the Risk Profiler and Riskometer, the #SochaSamjhaNivesh platform delves deeper into the emotional factors driving investor behaviour. The campaign’s TVCs focus on two critical emotions: FOMO and Confusion. In the first TVC, a protagonist's desire to gain individual exposure to large, mid, and small caps is fulfilled through the strategic equity allocation offered by multicap funds. The second TVC highlights the confusion investors often face when determining equity allocations and shows how Multicap Funds, with their exposure to all three market caps, provide a simple and effective solution. The TVCs will be launched early next week.
Axis Mutual Fund's SVP & head – marketing, digital & direct sales - Boniface Noronha emphasised, "Axis Mutual Fund’s #SochaSamjhaNivesh is an insightful initiative that taps into the core emotional decision-making process of investing while encouraging investors to make informed decisions. The two slice-of-life films are crafted to capture everyday interactions, creating a deeper connection with our target audience.”
Mirum India's NCD and VP Naila Patel said, "When we did the Socha Samjha Risk campaign last year, we knew we’d hit something interesting with the term ‘Socha Samjha’, because that’s what mutual funds are about - investments that are well-thought-out, i.e., Socha Samjha. Additionally, it is an apt space for everything Axis Mutual Fund stands for - making well-thought-out, responsible investment decisions for the future. We knew it had the potential to grow as a long-term property for the brand, which is why we gave it more legs with Socha Samjha Nivesh. And this time around, it was about giving a risk-informed investor a solution to their specific investment needs - in this case, multi cap funds for the investor who wants multiple opportunities in equity. The films use everyday situations to speak to the audience, and it was crucial for us to maintain this simplicity while also highlighting the benefits of Multicap funds. What’s interesting about this campaign is that it doesn’t restrict itself to educating investors about multi cap funds - it’s a larger conversation about making a Socha Samjha Nivesh in a fund that aligns with your risk appetite, goals, and investment horizons."
