In our retention work with a large asset manager, the investors who left shared a strikingly consistent fingerprint. Spotting it early is the whole game — because keeping an existing investor costs far less than winning a new one.

Key takeaways

Small, single-product holdings (typically Rs. 5,000–500,000 in one fund) rarely deepen on their own.
Investors who never activate value-added services churn far more — activation users showed 50% lower dormancy.

This insight comes from a real engagement.
