As India's wealth landscape evolves, affluent investors are looking beyond traditional investment avenues to diversify their portfolios, build alternative income streams and align their finances with their long-term goals. The focus is increasingly shifting from accumulating wealth to making it work across different stages of life. Against this backdrop, Day 2 of ET Wealth Expo 2026, scheduled for October 31 at NESCO, Mumbai, will follow the theme Multiply, Freedom, Life, bringing together investment leaders, wealth managers, real estate experts, legal professionals and financial influencers to examine emerging opportunities and the decisions that shape financial independence.
The theme of Multiply will begin with a keynote address by Saurabh Mukherjea, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Marcellus Investment Managers, titled Beyond Equities: The New Indian Portfolio. The session will explore how affluent investors can look beyond listed equities to diversify their investments through real estate investment trusts (REITs), infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs), private markets and alternative assets. The presentation, followed by a question-and-answer session, will examine the changing investment choices available to investors seeking to build more diversified portfolios.
