Morgan Asset Management India, in association with ValueNotes launch India’s first Investment Confidence Index (ICI). The Index, which will be published on a quarterly basis, captures the confidence of retail investors, corporate investors and financial advisors on the Indian economic and investment environment.
The findings of the survey show that the Indian financial community currently holds a cautiously optimistic view towards their local market. The recent election results have influenced investment confidence favourably, as investors and advisors alike have voted for a government mandated with a strong majority as the single most positive signal for the Indian economy today.
