NAM maintains healthy share in net equity flows

Our view – NAM has outperformed the industry on net largecap flows

Equity net flows continue to be healthy on the back of fund performance, among other factors: The market share in net equity flows including hybrid funds remains in excess of 10%. The healthy flows are driven by fund performance, among other reasons. Net flows are being witnessed across equity schemes including largecap, midcap and others. 25% of the net flows have come into the largecap category since the company has de-risked flows and flow are not merely driven by mid and smallcap category.

Revenue yield erosion continue largely along expected lines: The blended revenue yield has declined about 0.4 bps QoQ to 40-41 bps. This is in line with prior guidance of blended yield compression of about 2-3 bps per annum. The decline in yield was driven by the equity segment. As the size of the equity AUM rose, the SEBI telescopic pricing formula kicked in. Furthermore, new equity assets are coming at a higher cost and net sales have been healthy and as much as 2.2x last year's level.

We maintain an ‘ADD’ rating on NAM with a revised price target of Rs 625: We value NAM at 34x FY25 P/E, at which the stock would trade at a P/B of 9.9x.
