Q & A Highlights

Q: What contributed to the strong transaction income in Q4, and is there a revised guidance for TBR? A: Karan Bhagat, CEO, explained that the strong transaction income was due to the ability to play between asset classes, with enhanced efforts in both fixed income and equity brokerage. With the acquisition of B&K Capital, the quarterly TBR guidance has been revised from INR125-130 crores to INR175-180 crores, with aspirations to exceed INR200 crores.

Q: What is the strategy to address outflows in the discretionary PMS segment? A: Karan Bhagat noted that the growth in discretionary PMS has been softer than desired. The strategy is being pivoted to focus more on active management rather than relative returns to the index. Changes have been implemented, and improvements are expected in the coming months.

Q: Can you provide guidance on yields excluding carry over the next two to three years? A: Karan Bhagat stated that the yield is expected to remain stable, with carry contributing approximately 10 basis points annually. The overall yield on alternate assets is projected to be around 95 to 100 basis points, including management fees.

Q: How do you view the competitive environment for relationship manager (RM) hiring, and what is the outlook for cost-to-income ratios? A: Karan Bhagat acknowledged the competitive environment but expressed confidence in the company's ability to attract top talent. The cost-to-income ratio for core businesses remains around 44-45%, with expectations to improve to 45-47% through operational leverage and efficiency.

Q: What is the outlook for the ultra-HNI business, and how does it relate to industry consolidation? A: Karan Bhagat is optimistic about the ultra-HNI business, targeting 12-15% AUM growth annually. He believes the industry will remain consolidated, with room for a few more large players. The company aims to increase its market share by expanding its client base and attracting top talent.
