With an AUM of over Rs 1,57,860 crore (excluding domestic fund of funds) as on March 2017, SBI MF was also the first bank-sponsored MF to have been registered with Sebi.
Speaking on the occasion, managing director & chief executive Anuradha Rao said the industry AUM has grown from Rs 3.26 trillion as of March 2007 to Rs 19.04 trillion as of May 2017, a six-fold increase in a decade.
