A day of big ideas, bold conversations, and the country's leading investment minds.
Markets today are being shaped by a combination of structural change, geopolitical uncertainty, technological disruption, and evolving investor behavior. Against this backdrop, on September 30, 2026, the Morningstar Investment Conference brings together policymakers, global investment experts, fund managers, financial advisors, and thought leaders to examine the ideas that are likely to define investing in the years ahead.
This year's agenda reflects the breadth of issues influencing investment decisions today. Discussions will span India's growing role in global finance, the changing geopolitical landscape, the evolution of global equity markets, portfolio construction, fixed income, artificial intelligence, behavioral finance, and the long-term outlook for Indian equities. The conference aims to provide a long-term and broader perspective on the structural trends shaping the investment landscape.
Here's a closer look at what awaits you at the Morningstar Investment Conference India.
Setting the Stage
Among the highlights are two keynote addresses by our distinguished guests. We will have with us K. Rajaraman, Chairperson, International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), who will deliver an exclusive keynote on GIFT City's rise as India's gateway to global finance, exploring how India's international financial centre is creating new opportunities for global capital and investors.
This will be followed by a keynote address by Navtej Sarna, former Ambassador of India to the United States and acclaimed author, who will share his perspective on India's priorities and challenges in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape, setting the stage for many of the themes that will resonate throughout the conference.
Beyond Borders Lies Opportunity
One of the standout sessions of the conference brings together leading global investment managers to discuss how artificial intelligence, changing global supply chains, policy shifts, and evolving market leadership are reshaping opportunities across international markets. This session offers a particularly unique opportunity to hear directly from global fund managers, making it one of the conference's most anticipated discussions.
Introducing Breakout Sessions in India
A significant addition to this year's conference is the introduction of breakout sessions for the first time at the Morningstar Investment Conference India. Running simultaneously across the Main Stage and the Morningstar Theatre, these sessions allow the audience to personalize their conference experience based on their areas of interest. While the Main Stage will feature panel discussions on the evolving role of fixed income and how advisors are building portfolios across an expanding investment universe, the Morningstar Theatre will simultaneously host focused sessions exploring the practical use of artificial intelligence in financial advice and the debate around active versus passive investing from both global and Indian perspectives.
The conference also continues its popular Meet the Manager series, offering attendees the opportunity to engage with experienced investment professionals in a more interactive setting and gain practical insights into investment thinking and portfolio management.
Explore How Investor Behavior Shape Investment Decisions
Behavioral finance also features prominently on the agenda, highlighting the importance of disciplined decision-making in a world increasingly influenced by market volatility, information overload, and behavioral biases.
Reflections from a Leader: Motilal Oswal
Adding a different dimension to the day's discussions will be a fireside conversation with Motilal Oswal, Co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial Services, tracing his journey from a young entrepreneur in India's nascent capital markets to building one of the country's leading financial institutions. The conversation will explore the themes of entrepreneurship, resilience, institution-building, and the long-term mindset required to navigate change while creating enduring businesses.
Charting the Future of Indian Equities
The conference will also host a panel discussion of leading equity fund managers examining the opportunities, challenges, and evolving dynamics that could shape the next decade for Indian equities.
Bringing together distinguished speakers from India and across the globe, the Morningstar Investment Conference India 2026 offers a thoughtfully curated platform for meaningful conversations, diverse perspectives, and practical insights for investors and advisors navigating an increasingly interconnected investment world.
