The Indian mutual fund market is still under penetrated, as even in today’s scenario, most of India’s population prefers to channelise their savings into fixed deposits, real estate, and gold rather than in the capital market. The given case study discusses the practices to be followed by an asset management company (AMC) to spread out its market share. The case is based on the largest AMC in India, according to market capitalization, which is HDFC Asset Management Company Limited. HDFC as an AMC is shouldering its responsibilities quite well and can offer some operational tactics to be followed by other mutual fund market participants. The foundation for its success lies in the basic functionalities of the organisation and its belief in serving investors’ interest and practicing ethical values. We have not come across any earlier studies based on HDFC AMC in consideration of market mechanisms, corporate social activities by the firm, and practical implications for the Indian Mutual Funds Market. Through this case study, we offer some practical implications that could be helpful for other players in the Indian Mutual Fund market.
