Summary
- Canara HSBC Life Insurance launched NextGen Consumption Fund.
- Fund targets consumption trends driven by India's young population.

Canara HSBC Life Insurance has introduced the NextGen Consumption Fund, an equity-focused offering available through its Wealth Edge and SecureInvest plans. Priced at ₹10 per unit, the fund opens for subscriptions from November 18 to November 24, targeting emerging consumption patterns driven by India's youth. It seeks to leverage opportunities arising from India's demographic profile and economic growth.
The fund benchmarks against the Nifty India New Age Consumption Index and aims to benefit from factors like rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and supportive government policies. Investment will be primarily in equities (60-100%), with a smaller allocation to money market instruments, classifying it as a high-risk option. Key sectors include e-commerce, fintech, automobiles, and retail.
This initiative reflects the insurer's strategy to align with India's evolving consumption landscape, powered by a young, digitally-savvy population. The objective is to provide investors with structured exposure to sectors poised for growth, capitalizing on the nation's consumption-led expansion and its promising demographic dividend.
