MUMBAI: ET Now, the English business news channel from Times Television Network, is extending the line-up of its market shows on weekends.

The channel is adding two new shows - 'Meet your Fund Manager', and 'Buy Now-Sell Now Weekend' (BNSN Weekend) - starting 26 May and 9 June respectively.

The market focused shows will offer targeted programming to all segments of retail investors that include equity investors, long-term personal finance planners and short-term traders and share knowledge and insights from personal finance consultants, fundamental experts, supported by research team and anchors.

Meet your Fund manager will be anchored by Tanvir Gill and will be aired on Saturdays (3.30 pm and 8.30 pm), Sundays (10 am and 8.30 pm) and Tuesdays (10.30 pm). The show will bring viewers a closer look at the people who manage the bulk of retail investors' money: the fund managers and chief investment officers of leading asset management companies. Each episode will feature one fund manager, and go into details about his investment style, strategies of the specific funds he manages, and will end with an impartial evaluation of that fund house's offerings by Dhirendra Kumar of Value Research.

'BNSN Weekend' will be anchored by the duo Avanne Dubash and Megha Chaddah on Saturdays (10 am) and Sundays (8.30 am, 2 pm and 8 pm). This show will give specific buy, sell or hold advice to retail investors. In addition to that, a fundamental expert will do a portfolio analysis for viewers every week and discuss three stock picks (small, mid and large-cap) of his/her choice.
