DHFL Pramerica Mutual Fund targets young Indian investors with a digital campaign – S.I.P Kiya Kya?

DHFL Pramerica MF, one of the leading new mutual fund houses has recently unveiled their digital campaign to reach out to young investors with a series of video and banner ads urging them to invest in a S.I.P (Systematic Investment Plan). Developed in house by the marketing team, the campaign will be using social media extensively and has been kick started on Facebook and Youtube. The campaign has already managed to garner over 20 million video impressions till date and has seen very strong acceptance within the target audience.

DHFL Pramerica MF has chosen to approach this Investor Awareness S.I.P campaign differently than what has been done earlier by the industry.  The campaign has been designed to spur action without trying to explain what SIP is all about. Riding on the fact that understanding of SIP has improved over the years since most earlier/other campaigns have taken an educational approach, DHFL Pramerica has chosen to pick relevant situations in investor’s life while cheekily asking them if they have invested in a S.I.P



h and S.I.P folios have been growing very aggressively. Data available with Sebi showed total inflows to equity mutual funds between April and November stood at Rs. 40,706 crore. Over half of the assets of these schemes are held by retail investors.

There has been a rising interest in S.I.Ps among investors due to increasing awareness. Inflows to S.I.Ps now stand at Rs. 3,000-3,500 crore on a monthly basis compared with Rs. 2,500 crore a year earlier

Following are the links to the 3 videos in the S.I.P campaign:
