Boutique AMC concept in India

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A boutique asset management company in the Indian mutual fund industry is a fund house that combines a deliberately small scheme portfolio, a focused investment doctrine, founder-or-team-led ownership and a relatively modest assets-under-management base, in contrast to the large bank-and-insurance-sponsored asset managers that dominate the upper tiers of the industry by AUM. The boutique category in India includes PPFAS Mutual Fund , Quantum Mutual Fund , Quant Mutual Fund , WhiteOak Capital Mutual Fund, Bandhan Mutual Fund , Edelweiss Mutual Fund and several others, each occupying a distinct niche within the broader industry structure governed by the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 .
