New Delhi, February 9 LIC Mutual Fund Asset Management inaugurated its women-centric branch in South Delhi on Monday, becoming the first asset management company in the country to set up a branch aimed at increasing women's participation in mutual fund investing.
The initiative aims to bridge the gender gap in investment participation by encouraging women to take greater ownership of their financial futures, said Ravi Kumar Jha, Managing Director & CEO of LIC Mutual Fund.
The South Delhi branch is staffed and managed entirely by women. The region is considered a key growth market for the mutual fund industry, with an estimated assets under management (AUM) of about Rs 1.30 lakh crore and more than 2,000 active mutual fund distributors.
As of December 31, 2025, LIC Mutual Fund's AUM in South Delhi stood at around Rs 200 crore, including nearly Rs 175 crore in equity assets.
Jha said the branch is intended to provide a dedicated space where women can learn about investments and make informed decisions with greater confidence. The new outlet is also LIC Mutual Fund's 54th area office.
