Why this fund is better
Despite a high savings rate of 19 per cent in India (it is only 9 per cent on average in the world), it is considered to be an underbanked country with access to banking services to fewer people. Which has a lot of scope for expansion. There is tremendous growth potential in India in all categories such as financial sector, AMC, life insurance, capital markets. In the case of capital, the situation of Indian banks has strengthened in the last few years. His Tier 1 capital stood at 13 per cent in FY 2020, while the regulatory requirement is only 9.25 per cent.
