Chandigarh: The Wealth Company Mutual Fund (Wealth Company Asset Management Holdings Private Limited), part of the Pantomath Group, has announced an ambitious roadmap to capture up to one-third of mutual fund inflows from beyond B30 cities by 2030, with a special focus on Bharat markets—Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns. The firm is determined to build 45% of its investor base from these regions, driving financial inclusion and wealth creation for underserved communities while aligning with India’s Viksit Bharat@2047 vision.
The announcement was made during the company’s first press conference following SEBI’s final approval for launching its mutual fund operations. Notably, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund is the only fund house in India founded and led by a woman entrepreneur—Ms. Madhu Lunawat, MD & CEO.
Bringing Institutional Discipline to Retail Investors
The Wealth Company MF enters India’s ₹74.41 trillion mutual fund industry with a differentiated approach that blends institutional-grade research with retail-friendly simplicity. The firm’s philosophy centers on “democratizing wealth creation”—bridging the gap between sophisticated investing practices and the needs of the everyday investor.
With a proven track record in managing Alternate Investment Funds (AIFs), Portfolio Management Services (PMS), and institutional advisory mandates, the Wealth Company brings data-driven, governance-first execution into the retail mutual fund space. The Pantomath Group, its parent entity, already oversees ₹10,000 crore in client assets through four high-performing, theme-based AIFs, catering to both domestic HNIs and global investors.
Focus on Bharat and Beyond B30 Cities
The Wealth Company MF’s vision for 2030 is firmly rooted in Bharat markets, which hold immense untapped potential. The company has identified Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as the engines of India’s next wave of retail investment growth.
“Our goal is not just market share but financial empowerment across Bharat,” stated Ms. Madhu Lunawat, Founder, MD & CEO.
“We have set a bold yet achievable target—to ensure 45% of our investor base comes from Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns by 2030. This isn’t just a number; it reflects our commitment to inclusive investing and the nation’s Viksit Bharat vision. Our digital-first distribution network, AI-powered research tools, and advanced training for Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs) will help us achieve this milestone.”
