  • Focus on leveraging technology to improve operational efficiency.

Key Risk:

  • One of their equity schemes and nine of their debt schemes have underperformed relative to their respective benchmark indices over a one calendar year ended June 30, 2025. If their investment schemes underperform, their AUM could decrease, negatively impacting their results of operations.

  • Business is subject to extensive regulation, including periodic inspections by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), and their non-compliance with existing regulations or SEBI’s observations could expose them to penalties and restrictions in the business that they can undertake.

  • Unfavourable market changes and economic downturns may result in customer withdrawals or a decrease in customer transactions, resulting in a decline in their assets under management and management fees, which could significantly and negatively influence their revenue from operations, business prospects, financial conditions, and results of operations.

  • The performance of their equity-oriented schemes has a significant impact on their assets under management and consequently their revenue from operations. As of June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, 91.17%, 92.34%, 91.69%, 91.66% and 88.43% of their quarterly average assets under management were from equity-oriented schemes. Underperformance by their equity-oriented schemes may have a disproportionate adverse impact on their business and revenue.

  • As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, 73.45%, 75.82%, 73.63%, 76.24% and 78.04% of their monthly average assets under management were generated from third-party distributors. If company is unable to maintain their existing relationship with third-party distributors or attract new distributors, business, competitiveness, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely impacted.

  • Company is dependent on several key personnel, including their Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management as well as their investment team, and the loss of or inability to attract or retain such persons could adversely affect business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
