Mike Sell, manager of the Alquity Indian Subcontinent fund, explains why favourable demographics, increasing urbanisation and a thriving private sector have made India one of the most compelling growth stories for investors over the next 10 years. Mike also explains why India’s domestic growth story makes the country an ideal investment diversifier and why he sees great opportunities in the financials sector. He also discusses the impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a catalyst for growth and why investors should not be put off by the market looking expensive relative to its peers. Mike also runs through the role of sustainability in the portfolio and the moves India is making towards renewable energy.

More about this fund:
The Alquity Indian Subcontinent fund is a unique offering as its domestic focus often sees the team look past the larger companies in the index and invest in businesses which tend to be overlooked. With a high conviction approach, the fund is not for the faint hearted, but the team are exceptional at what they do and the long-term tailwinds surrounding demographics, urbanisation, political stability and a shift towards a formal, organised economy, support the case for long-term growth.
