In the wake of the pandemic, India’s equity markets have experienced a notable surge, drawing in a multitude of investors eager to capitalize on the flourishing opportunities.
This surge is exemplified by the revelation from Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath, co-founder of the trading platform, who disclosed that equity investors have notched up a staggering profit of Rs 50,000 crore over the past four years. Furthermore, these investors find themselves perched atop unrealized profits totaling a whopping Rs 1 lakh crore, against an asset under management (AUM) of Rs 4.5 lakh crore.
Nikhil Kamath shared the news on X and wrote, “Equity investors @zerodhaonline have realized a profit of Rs 50,000 crores over the last 4+ years and are sitting on unrealized profits of Rs 1,00,000 crores on an AUM of Rs 4,50,000 crores. By the way, most of the AUM was added in the last four years.”
The influx of investors into this domain has been significant, with much of the AUM surge occurring within the past four years. This exponential rise in investor participation reflects a burgeoning confidence in the potential returns offered by Indian equities, even amidst global uncertainties.
