In alignment with our policy of rewarding shareholders, we have declared an interim dividend of Rs 7 per share for FY25. India’s growth story is being celebrated as the global economy faces geopolitical challenges and slow growth. As the fastest-growing large economy, India is projected to achieve a 7% GDP growth for FY25, driven by strong domestic demand, government reforms and increased capital expenditure, which has also boosted its market capitalization. In light of such strong economic growth, the company’s prospects are positive, supported by the rising HNI population who are seeking a strategic approach to wealth creation.” Commenting on the same, Feroze Azeez, Deputy Chief Executive Officer said: “India’s strong economic fundamentals have driven increased interest from both domestic and foreign investors. This trend is reflected in consistent inflows into the equity markets, with new investments hitting record highs MoM. Such a positive momentum is expected to strengthen the Indian equity markets further, fostering an environment conducive to long-term capital appreciation and broadening of the investor base. During H1FY25 our total net inflows registered a remarkable YoY growth of 128%, reaching Rs 5,700 crore. Equity mutual fund net inflows achieved YoY growth of 64%, amounting to Rs 3,116 crore. Our client centric approach has resulted in 0.28% client attrition rate in terms of AUM lost during the first half of FY25. We take immense pride in achieving zero regret RM attrition for the fifth consecutive quarter—a true testament to our robust entrepreneurial work culture and unwavering commitment to our team’s growth and satisfaction.” Result PDF
