Event at Bangalore

The MFRT experience session on 19^th December 2019 started with Mr. Neelesh Shah, President KAMFA sharing his thoughts on How Attending Trainings helps IFAs get different perspective, ideas which helped them grow.

Mr. Suresh Mohta, immediate Past President of MFRT focused on uniqueness of MFRT and why it is a must attend event for IFAs.

The next talk by Trainer, SrikanthV Kulkarni focussed on how the IFAs should reduce their dependence on the Equity component of their income and look at alternatives like Debt funds, Estate Planning throwing light on new avenues of growing revenues.

The next part was the most interesting part of the evening It was the DEBATE on AUM GROWTH IS DEPENDENT ON TECH OR CLIENT RELATIONSHIP which was participated by Santosh Jahagirdar, IFA & CEO of http://www.purpletouch.in/landingpage.asp and Ms. CK Vanitha, President & CEO of eProfit Wealth Management forcefully and convincingly conveying the message that RELATIONSHIP helps you get the ENTIRE WALLET of the client and the client will become your Walking Brand Ambassador. And also if the relationship is strong, the redemptions will be few and far and thus AUM is not affected in Down cycles.

SudhendraK Lakshmana Rao, Managing Director & CEO of http://inprism.in/ and Jayanth Nanjappa, Investment Strategist and Financial Planner at http://www.90to10.com/ were not having any of it and mentioned how having the data of the client helps you in actually fulfilling the things he wants (like Life Insurance, Health Insurance) and also with technology, you can SCALE UP very quickly rather than waiting for the referrals to take shape.

Both Sudhendra and Jayanth also mentioned that since they use technology and have better tracking system, they are able to service client’s better and hence they too donot get affected by the redemption pressure during market down cycles.

The atmosphere was festive at this time and the energy levels at the peak. IFAs enjoyed the sharing received and were seen clapping enthusiastically

Next on stage was the soft spoken Founder of the popular website www.advisorkhoj.com Mr. Pradip Chakrabarty. He asked a simple question to the IFAs present "WHICH IS THE BEST MUTUAL FUND"? And usual, the answers varied.

Mr.Pradip had a good laugh and said no one can predict but through the unique research tools created by www.advisorkhoj.com IFAs can choose the one which suits the investor best. He also shared tools wherein the Clients capital can ‘never come down’ https://www.advisorkhoj.com/mutual-funds-research/stp-calculator-profit-transfer and various such amazing tools which Advisorkhoj has recently developed. He also revealed that Advisorkhoj has now given the DOWNLOAD option in each tool which helps IFAs to send the data to their clients with appropriate changes.

During his talk, the entire hall was seen making notes furiously and many were seen taking pictures. IFAs were seen thronging to speak to Mr. Pradip to get more details on the features of Advisorkhoj.

The final speaker was Mr. Vinod Tantri of www.knowledgebell.com whose session came at the fag end of the meeting.It was already 8:45 p.m. and everybody was looking forward to the dinner. But the way he took the session, it was really amazing.The energy and the interaction was simply awesome and the learning from session was -
