Young Investors Favor 100% Equity NPS
Sriram Iyer, MD & CEO of HDFC Pension Fund, says the newly introduced 100% equity NPS schemes are drawing a noticeable shift toward younger investors seeking higher growth potential. The trend reflects a broader appetite among the youth for market‑linked retirement options, moving away from traditional low‑risk allocations. This surge could reshape the demographic profile of NPS participants and influence future product offerings.
*Young investors are increasingly choosing fully equity‑based National Pension System (NPS) schemes, according to Sriram Iyer, MD & CEO of HDFC Pension Fund.*
- The 100% equity option promises higher long‑term returns compared with conventional mixed‑asset NPS choices.
- Younger participants view the equity tilt as a way to grow their retirement corpus faster, especially in a low‑interest environment.
- HDFC plans to expand equity‑heavy offerings to meet this rising demand.
