GLOBAL INVESTMENT INSIGHTS

Press Release - CAIA Insights

This Is India’s Era.

India’s GDP growth is expected to reach 9.5% in 2021/22, which will make it the third-largest contributor to global GDP. According to a new report from the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association, there are several force multipliers in place that will continue to drive India’s economic growth for the next decade and beyond, making it imperative that private equity and venture capital-focused investors have a clear picture as to the private investment environment in India.

To coincide with the report’s release, CAIA is hosting a webinar which will bring together a number of its authors to spotlight key themes, discuss why India’s emergence as one of the world’s most entrepreneurial and technology-orientated nations presents massive opportunities, and will showcase India’s growing and increasingly sophisticated alternative investment industry.

In the past few years, demand has soared for private market assets as more and more investors have sought their diversification and improved outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic has not dampened this shift, and many investors continue to be very active across private equity, private debt, and infrastructure, among others.
