Distributor of the Year Awards

The Wealth Forum Advisor Awards - 2011 event was held on 23rd March 2012 at Mumbai. Over 150 advisors from 35 cities from across the country as well as representatives of leading national distributors and banks were present at the event. Wealth Forum Advisor Awards - 2011 was presented exclusively by DSP Blackrock Investment Managers.

In its 3rd edition, the basic format and categories of the Wealth Forum Advisor Awards have remained unchanged. What did change was that instead of presenting the regional IFA awards in each region, this time around, all the regional winners were also invited to the Wealth Forum Platinum Circle Advisors Conference and a combined awards event was held on 23rd March 2012, to enable winners from across India to share a common platform.

The Wealth Forum Advisor Awards recognise exemplary efforts by mutual fund distributors in spreading the investment habit among Indians using the mutual funds route. Industry level data for the financial year ended March 2011 was considered to arrive at the following award categories :

A. Net Sales Champions

     1. Net Sales - Equity Funds

     2. Net Sales - Hybrid Funds

     3. Net Sales - Income Funds

B. Retail Champions

     4. Growth in live SIPs

     5. Growth in investor folios

C. AuM Growth Champions

     6. Growth in SIP AuM

     7. Growth in overall AuM (Equity + Hybrids)

D. Distributor of the Year

The distributor of the year award is based on the average of performances across all the 7 categories - and therefore represents a truly all-round performance on all key parameters that are critical for the development of the MF industry.

There are 4 distribution channels recognised in these awards :

  1. IFA

  2. Regional Distributors

  3. National Distributors

  4. Banks

Within the IFA channel, 9 regions have been created, to ensure that performance from across India gets duly recognised. The 9 regions are :

  1. East - Metros (Kolkata)

  2. East - Non-metros

  3. North - Metros (Delhi / NCR)

  4. North - non-metros

  5. South - Metros (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai)
