Our view – Rising competition between asset managers does not impact CAMS
Upward pressure on commissions for mutual fund distributors does not impact CAMS as such: Management clarified that CAMS’ fees are not linked tightly to what happens to NFOs in a given quarter and this implies that rising competition between asset managers does not really impact CAMS.
Multiple Non-MF businesses continued to evolve on a positive path: Encouragingly for the Account Aggregator (AA) business, management opined that the Technology Service Provider offering is going to be a bigger market for CAMS than the standard AA services.
We maintain ‘Buy’ rating on CAMS with a revised price target of Rs 3643: We value CAMS at 55x FY23 P/E for an FY21-24E EPS CAGR of 25%.
