Does management do what it says?
Non-MF revenue growth for Q1 FY'26 was only 4.4% Y-o-Y, significantly below the 'high double-digit' (24-25%) target previously communicated. (1 missed, 1 exceeded across 2 tracked commitments)
“And again, we are very hopeful and confident that we will have a repeat here in FY '26 in delivering at least high double-digit, 24%, 25% growth in non-MF to continue this year, too.”

How durable is the business?
The core MF segment continues to expand, driven by a 24% YoY growth in AuM and a significant 49% jump in transaction volumes for the full year. (3 expanding)
“Revenue from operations ... FY25 1,33,390.02 ... FY24 1,05,448.22”
The core MF segment saw revenue growth of 25% for the full year, though it faced a 4% yield compression in Q4 due to a major contract price reset. Management expects another 4% to 4.5% yield drop in FY26 as the reset impact is fully absorbed. (1 shifted, 4 expanding)
“So you have seen a 4% drop in yield quarter-on-quarter basis, purely from an AUM fee perspective... we report the AUM fee bps as such, which is currently around 2.24 bps.”

What could break the thesis?
Yield compression remains a structural reality, with a projected 7% drop in yields for FY26 compared to FY25. However, the trajectory is stable as this falls within the historical guided range of 6% to 7% annual depletion. (4 stable, 1 easing)
“we expect that the yearly yields when compared to the last year, the current year, the yearly yields will drop by around 7 percentage to 8 percentage, most likely around 7 percentage.”
The risk remains stable but high; however, strong equity inflows (Rs. 72,634 Cr in Q4) and a 29% growth in Equity AuM have offset market volatility concerns for now. (3 stable)
“Equity assets held the Rs.25 Lakh Cr. mark, with sustained inflows despite the volatility in the market”
