3. Active Fund Management
Leverages Mirae Asset’s in-house research and bottom-up analysis to pick quality companies with strong growth potential.
4. Long-Term Wealth Creation

5. Professional Risk Management
Stringent internal controls monitor credit, liquidity, and volatility risk — ensuring portfolio stability without compromising opportunity.
Case Study: The “Capex Boom Effect” in Action
How Infrastructure Booms Create Long-Term Wealth?
Between 2003 and 2008, India’s last big infrastructure boom created massive wealth for engineering and construction companies — for instance, Larsen & Toubro’s stock price rose nearly 8–9× in that cycle (approx. 54% CAGR) as large projects and capital spending surged.
Fast-forward to today — the Union Budget 2025-26 earmarks ₹11.21 lakh crore for capital expenditure, according to the Press Information Bureau and PRS Legislative Research. At the same time, private-sector spending is rebounding, with corporate capex crossing ₹11 lakh crore in FY25(Economic Times / ICICI Securities).
Funds such as Mirae Asset Infrastructure Fund are positioned to benefit from this ongoing capex wave by investing across engineering, materials, energy, and logistics — sectors most likely to gain as India builds its next growth engine.
