MUMBAI: The new spot under the 'Mutual Funds Sahi Hai' campaign by Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), conceptualised by Wunderman Thompson South Asia, will once again have cricketers explaining why investment in mutual funds is the right choice. The campaign has been a popular once since the release of its first film in early 2017.

Continuing on its journey to educate investors, the agency wanted to take Mutual Funds Sahi Hai to the next level and strengthen the values of consistency, stability and trust. Sachin Tendulkar and Mahindra Singh Dhoni are two cricketing legends that symbolise these values, thereby being able to bring in the required transformation, when it comes to investment in Mutual Funds. And strategically, lending an authoritative voice to the campaign.

AMFI chief executive NS Venkatesh said, “After three years of the Mutual Funds Sahi Hai campaign, we at AMFI felt that the time is right to take the conversation with the retail investors across the country to the next level, by engaging cricketing icons. On behalf of the Mutual Fund Industry, I thank SEBI for taking a considerate view on allowing the engagement of celebrities, at an Industry level.”

Wunderman Thompson SVP and managing partner Kishore Tadepalli said, “Mutual Funds Sahi Hai campaign has changed investors’ habit and has accomplished an extremely difficult task of shifting their hard-earned money from savings to Mutual Funds. All this in a short span of 3 years.  As we move forward, we wanted to keep the momentum going and accelerate the speed of adoption. Bringing cricketing legends like Sachin Tendulkar, MS -Dhoni and Mithali Raj on board will infuse fresh energy and add the required momentum to the category.”

Wunderman Thompson SVP and ECD Hanoz Mogrelia said, “The Mutual Funds Sahi Hai campaign has always used simple conversations between friends to get the point across. Even in this series, the cricket players and their friends talk with each other about their financial doubts, talk about money-based issues … without treating the cricketers as demi gods. The entire series features different cricketing super stars … having absolutely regular conversations about various things. There is not an iota of hero worship in the campaign.”
