Valuation

The Indian wealth management market is on a sustained path of growth, given India’s long-term economic prospects, positive demographics, rising income levels and current low penetration. While the percentage of wealthy individuals in India is very small compared with developed markets, high potential of growth in wealth is estimated in the future. The key growth drivers include upsurge in affluent clients with rising income levels, increase in wealth allocated towards financial products, and a shift towards mutual funds.

Anand Rathi stands to benefit given its strong focus on the underserved and less price-sensitive HNI segment. It follows a process-driven approach in providing wealth solutions and aims to achieve consistent client outcomes through a standardized investment strategy which augments the RM’s ability to deliver its service proposition. It believes in a holistic approach and as part of managing wealth for its clients, its proposition also includes estate planning, succession planning and creating wills as part of its core objectives, without any cost to its clients. The financial performance was impacted in FY21 wherein the company registered a decline in both revenue and profitability. Going forward, it intends to increase its RM count with a focus on higher vintage RMs. It also plans to focus on scaling its business by capitalizing on current market opportunities and geographic expansion. It also aims to increase its brand-building efforts with an increased digital focus.
