Why the CEO of EDGE AMC Puts Integrity Before Everything | FYI - For Your Investment | Ep 2

Ali Imam, CFA, is the Managing Director and CEO of EDGE Asset Management, which he founded in 2017 to build investment products that people from every walk of life can trust. We started with a real question about our own country. Why, in an unpredictable economy, do so many Bangladeshis put their faith in income funds? The answer says more about discipline and long-term thinking than about fear. From there, we got into how mutual funds actually work, what separates one fund from another, and why the person managing your money matters far more than any brochure. Ali Imam makes the case that the single most important thing to check before choosing an AMC is integrity, and since you cannot see integrity, you have to research it yourself, which is easier than ever now that the information is a search away. We also covered why the mutual fund industry here is quietly growing, where it goes next, the role family plays in shaping how we think about money, and his advice to anyone in their twenties: start early.
