Key takeaways

  • Brand & bank-backed distribution: Leverages Canara Bank’s 9,800+ branches and 12,000+ ATMs for deeper market penetration.
  • Retail-heavy AuM mix: Higher share of individual investors can support stable, sticky flows through cycles.
  • Improving profitability: Net income and margin expansion over FY22–9M FY25 underline operating leverage.
  • Pure OFS: No fresh capital; proceeds go to selling shareholders—watch offer pricing vs. listed AMCs’ multiples.
