Key competitive strengths:
• Operating in an underpenetrated Indian asset management industry that has grown at a CAGR of more than 20%.
• Growing independent financial products distribution platforms. • Granular retail AUM with a mix skewed towards high-yield equity AUM
• Pan-India diversified distribution network with ability to expand into underpenetrated B-30 markets
• Track record of innovation and use of technology to improve investor and partner experience
Valuation:
At the higher price band of Rs630, the issue is valued at P/E of 33.9x on FY22E annualized EPS and at P/S of 6.1x on annualized FY22E. The demanding valuation at Rs2,608 cr seems expensive leaving no margin of safety for investors in highly competitive financial products distribution industry.
