SBI, as it does with almost every other NFO, has released a dedicated video on its official YouTube channel where the Vice-president of SBI Mutual Funds, Ms Sumaira Abidi explained what the new SBI Automotive fund is all about.

In the announcement video, the VP of SBI Mutual Funds said “the two factors that appeal the most to us are the under penetration as well as the affordability factor. When we look at across vehicle categories, the penetration levels are much lower in India versus other geographies and a comparison that we did with countries like China and South Korea indicates that India today is where these countries were just to the hyper-growth phase.”
