UTI Investments Celebrates a Milestone Anniversary
On October 16, 2025, UTI Investments, the global arm of UTI Asset Management Company, reached a significant milestone by celebrating the 10-year anniversary of its flagship fund, the UTI India Dynamic Equity Fund (IDEF). This celebration is complemented by the launch of a renewed brand identity designed to appeal to global investors.
A Decade of Growth and Resilience
UTI Investments has long been at the forefront of the Indian asset management landscape, offering unique investment opportunities that focus on India. As part of its 10-year commemoration, the firm reflects on the successful journey of its flagship fund, which has adhered to its quality growth philosophy, consistently delivering solid returns through disciplined execution. Since its inception in July 2015, under the watchful leadership of experienced portfolio manager Ajay Tyagi, the fund has utilized a buy-and-hold strategy with a multi-cap allocation and low portfolio turnover.
In his remarks about the fund’s journey, Ajay Tyagi emphasized, "When we launched the UTI India Dynamic Equity Fund in 2015, we presented a straightforward proposition to global investors — to participate in one of the fastest-growing emerging markets, where significant economic growth would translate into substantial profit growth for years to come. Ten years later, we are encouraged by the results.”
India's GDP has risen at an average annual growth rate of 6%, with broad market earnings up by 11% in INR (7.5% in USD), while the fund has achieved annualized returns of 10% in dollars. Tyagi believes that the journey has just begun, stating, "The growth engine of India, fueled by a youthful population, a rising middle class, and increasing per capita income, continues to drive forward. For long-term investors ready to stay the course, the road ahead remains highly promising."
Throughout various market cycles, the IDEF fund has demonstrated remarkable resilience, unwavering in its core mission. The sustained focus remains on companies with strong balance sheets, high capital returns, and sustainable earnings growth, giving investors confidence in their investment journey.
A New Brand Identity for Future Growth
Praveen Jagwani, CEO of UTI Investments, remarked, "The success of the IDEF stems from consistent philosophy and patient execution. As we celebrate a decade of this journey, it's fitting that we also unveil our new brand identity. Our new logo incorporates our key investments, making our mission immediately recognizable to global investors. Just as the IDEF stands for resilience and conviction, the refresh of our brand symbolizes continuity and evolution, deeply rooted in India yet resonating worldwide."
The newly designed logo underscores the company’s ambition to be the go-to specialist for global investors interested in India while honoring its legacy as a trailblazer in Indian asset management. Although the visual identity has evolved, the legal name of the company remains UTI International, reflecting an unwavering commitment that guided the IDEF over the last decade — disciplined research, client-centeredness, and long-term wealth creation.
UTI's enduring presence reinforces its belief in the long-term value of these relationships and its dedication to helping European clients benefit from India's evolving economy and a broader commitment to building a global platform.
As India increasingly establishes itself as a critical allocation in global portfolios, UTI Investments fine-tunes its identity to align with this evolving narrative, celebrating a decade of capitalization through the IDEF and confidently engaging with the future through a brand that embodies clarity, ambition, and trust.
