Emerging trends in the investment landscape involve a rising inclination towards sustainable and socially conscious investing, a heightened desire for alternative investment options like private equity and hedge funds, and an increased emphasis on passive investing through index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

TechGraph: What are the new investment trends?

Archana Elapavuluri: Investment trends include sustainable and socially responsible practices. In addition, there is a surge in demand for alternative investment options like private equity and hedge funds. Additionally, there is a significant shift towards passive investing through index funds and ETFs, where fund managers have limited discretion.

The advent of the technological revolution has greatly propelled artificial intelligence (AI). Passive investing has gained widespread popularity as it eliminates active fund management.

The financial industry has witnessed a significant surge in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investments in recent years. Experts predict that by 2025, megatrends such as AI, energy storage, robotics, genome sequencing, and blockchain technology will shape the investment landscape.

These technologies empower traders to make data-based decisions in real-time, resulting in more precise predictions and improved risk management approaches. As a result, derivatives trading has become more streamlined and available, enabling investors to seize market opportunities more effortlessly.

AI and machine learning is revolutionizing the approach to derivatives investments in the current era by offering investors immediate access to valuable information and thorough data analysis. This equips investors with enhanced decision-making capabilities and the ability to take advantage of emerging market patterns.

Archana Elapavuluri: To maintain a healthy portfolio, we diversify our investments across various industries and sectors, with a particular emphasis on highly liquid companies with a market capitalization of at least Rs 5,000 crore.
