    Tata Mutual Fund leverages CTV advertising for “Index Funds Simple Hai” campaign

    Mumbai: Tata Mutual Fund leverages the growing popularity of connected TV (CTV) advertising to reach potential investors and educate the existing customer base with its ‘Index Funds Simple Hai’ campaign. As a part of its ‘Desh Kare Nivesh’ initiative, the campaign demystifies the Index Funds category for investors through light-hearted everyday situations and relatable characters.

    Through a series of three short ad films, the campaign uses humor and daily scenarios to convey a straightforward message: Life may be complicated, but investing doesn’t have to be. By comparing confusing academic theories, weight-loss jargon, and intricate recipes with the simplicity of investing through index mutual funds, Tata Mutual Fund shows that while life can be complicated, investing doesn’t have to be. For example, one video compares solving a complex mathematical equation in a classroom to investing in an index fund, highlighting the ease of the latter.

    The core idea of the campaign is the ease and simplicity of investing in index funds. Further, it sheds light on key attributes, such as lower fees, quick and hassle-free investment option and effortless mimicking of the market. Through this campaign, Tata Mutual Fund targets diverse range of audiences, from young professionals to seasoned individuals.

    Tata Asset Management CEO and MD Prathit Bhobe said, “At Tata Mutual Fund, we are helping individuals make informed investment choices. Index funds are one of the smart option for investors of all backgrounds, offering the potential benefit of mirroring market indices with lower expense ratios. As per the latest available data, last year, index funds saw remarkable growth, with Average Net Assets under Management soaring from Rs. 1.69 lakh crore (April 2023) to over Rs. 2.18 lakh crore (April 2024), making them a prudent option for a well-rounded portfolio” (Source: AMFI)

    The brand harnesses the power of CTV, complemented by social media and targeted online advertising, effectively addressing the evolving viewing habits, especially among younger demographics.

    Tata Mutual Fund has collaborated with Hotstar for the campaign’s debut as part of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tournament starting on 3 June.

    On the campaign launch, Tata Asset Management head-marketing Ashish Pawar said, “We’re thrilled to harness the power of CTV and other digital platforms to demystify index funds. Our campaign aims to inspire a new generation of investors to invest in Index Funds aiming for long-term growth and success.”

    The series of films have been conceptualized and produced by Adsto Media House.

    Tata Mutual Fund’s campaign simplifies index fund investing

    Mumbai: Tata Mutual Fund, as a part of its ‘Desh Kare Nivesh’ initiative, has launched a digital-first campaign titled ‘Index Funds Simple Hai’. This campaign aims to demystify the Index Funds category for Gen-Z and Millennials, using a relatable mix of metaphors focused on everyday experiences.

    Featuring a series of 9 videos, the campaign utilizes a unique creative approach, using cricket analogies, relatable visuals of day-to-day activities like making noodles or smoothie, and humorous content to highlight the message of simplicity associated with Index Funds. For example, one video compares scoring runs in a cricket match during a power play to investing in an index fund. It showcases that investing in an index fund is quick and hassle-free.

    Through this campaign, Tata Mutual Fund encourages new-to-market retail investors, typically Gen-Z and Millennials, to invest in index funds. It highlights the benefits of index funds, especially their cost-effectiveness, and how they aim to replicate market returns, making it a clear and achievable investment option for young adults when considering their financial future.

    Tata Asset Management CEO and managing director Prathit Bhobe said, “Index funds offer investors a unique opportunity by mirroring the composition and performance of financial market indices while maintaining lower expense ratios, making it a smart choice for investors. In recent years, the index fund category experienced remarkable growth, with Average Net Assets Under Management soaring from Rs. 1.44 lakh crore to over Rs. 2.11 lakh crore in FY 2023- 24, marking a notable 46% increase. Building on this momentum, index funds are evolving beyond traditional market trackers. Fund Houses are introducing new products that include sectoral funds and precious metals. This innovation expands the index fund universe, catering to diverse investor needs. Whether a seasoned investor or a newcomer, index funds offer a compelling path to a well-rounded portfolio.” (Source: AMFI).

    Adding to the same, Tata Asset Management Head-Marketing Ashish Pawar said, “We know that the young investors are interested in taking charge of their finances, but navigating the world of investing can feel daunting. Our campaign uses the familiar language of cricket, alongside relatable everyday activities to explain about Index Funds to Gen Z and Millennials.”

    The campaign leverages the power of digital platforms where young investors spend most of their time. Content will be primarily created in a vertical format, perfectly optimized for mobile consumption. Short, informative explainer videos like Reels and thumb-stoppers, along with social media posts, will delve into the concept of Index Funds.

    The brand campaign will go live across various digital and social media platforms for targeted reach based on audience demographics and custom intent signalled through online behaviour. For instance, the creative approach might be tailored differently for those who are entirely new to investing compared to those who have already begun researching investment options.

    The series of films has been conceptualized and produced by Brooomsticks Productions and target a broad audience of Millennials and Gen-Z.
