Sirf ek Sawaal....

Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund is one of the later entrants into the mutual fund space. Our approach to this market has been to be differentiated in every way.

1.     Given our 30 years plus expertise in stock picking, we decided to focus only on equity mutual funds ( as against debt, balanced etc) . Hence in 2013 we introduced our first product Motilal Oswal F25 – a large cap mutual fund. This was soon followed by MotiLal Oswal F30- a mid cap mutual fund and Motilal Oswal F35 – a multi cap mutual fund. Unlike other mutual funds we do not have a plethora of schemes.

2.     All our funds are governed by a unique investment philosophy - ‘Buy Right Sit Tight’ . Where ‘Buying Right’ means buying quality stocks at reasonable price and ‘Sit Tight’ is holding onto them for a long time to realize their full growth potential.To ‘Buy Right’ we pick stocks based on our unique QGLP stock picking process. To ‘Sit Tight’ we have an extremely focused portfolio with just 20-25 stocks. This means that we can analyse the stocks more deeply and also that is would take just 4-5 stocks in portfolio to perform well for the whole portfolio to perform well

3.     Additionally we are the only mutual fund that charges ‘No Load’ ( Entry or Exit) across all our equity mutual fund schemes; thus providing even more value to investors

This approach has lead to all our funds delivering returns that have consistently beaten the benchmark as well as been among the top performing funds in their category. And the Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund being among the fastest growing in the industry

THE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE

Be it performance or quality, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund is among the best kept secrets in Indian mutual funds. And therein lies the challenge. People who know of us love our products . But then very few people know of us. Despite being better than the big daddy’s we lag behind them in terms of awareness ; and hence adoption. This could be because we are the new kid on the block (less than 2 years) and our awareness may improve gradually. But then we are a brand in a hurry- a challenger who wants to disrupt the party of the large mutual fund brands and get customers to re-evaluate their current mutual fund investing decisions.  The communication objective is to hence aggressively build spontaneous awareness for Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund and move into the consideration set. If the communication can fulfill this objective, we are confident that our superior investing philosophy and performance will do the rest

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE

We aim to talk to people who know about and invest in mutual funds .

COMMUNICATION IDEA – ‘Sirf ek sawaal. Why not Motilal Oswal?’

We aim to create awareness for Motilal Oswal MF and hopefully build consideration. Mutual Fund investors are typically presented with a plethora of investing options.

Why not Motilal Oswal?” The reason why they should consider Motilal Oswal ( unique Investment Philosophy, Stock Picking approach, No Load and Focused Portfolios) are elaborated on the website

The communication idea is brought alive through 3 films and a supporting digital campaign and print ads
