EY sees over 100 million new long-term investors by 2035
In short
EY India says India could add more than 100 million long-term investors by 2035. The report says growth could come from Tier-2 and Tier-3 salaried households, women, young professionals and Gen Z.
This matters because only about 62 million people invest in mutual funds and about 50 million take part in equities. The report shows a large gap, but it does not say what rules or products will close it.
