As India's investment landscape evolves, wealth management is becoming about more than identifying the right investments. Investors must navigate changing market dynamics, diversify portfolios, manage tax liabilities, prepare for financial uncertainties and ensure that the wealth they create can be preserved for future generations. Against this backdrop, Day 1 of ET Wealth Expo 2026, scheduled for October 30 at NESCO, Mumbai, will follow the theme Build, Protect, Legacy, bringing together fund managers, investment professionals, financial planners, tax specialists and legal experts to examine the decisions that shape the entire wealth journey.
The Build pillar will focus on wealth creation, investment opportunities and portfolio diversification, beginning with a keynote address by S Naren, Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer at ICICI Prudential AMC, titled How to Make Wealth in the AI Age. With retail equity participation increasing, systematic investment plan (SIP) investments rising and gold prices reaching record levels, investors are reassessing the role of traditional asset classes. The session will examine whether equities, gold, real estate and other investments can deliver rewarding returns as artificial intelligence reshapes the economic landscape.
