Asset Management is seeing a massive surge in scale with AUM growing 62% YoY. The focus is shifting toward fee-paying assets (92% of total AUM) and the successful first close of a commercial real estate fund. (5 accelerating across 5 signals, 1 leading indicator)

Wealth Management PBT growth is accelerating, with H1 FY26 growth (23%) and Q2 FY26 growth (27%) significantly outpacing the overall group revenue growth of 10%. (5 accelerating across 5 signals, 1 leading indicator)

The company is actively accelerating its hiring of Relationship Managers (RMs) to scale the business, having added approximately 20 RMs in the last year for the Private segment alone, with plans to reach 3,000-4,000 RMs in 3-4 years. (2 accelerating, 3 steady across 5 signals, 2 leading indicators)

The risk remains high as Capital Markets revenue fell 28% YoY in Q2 FY26, a steeper decline than the 19% drop seen in the full year FY25. This is attributed to moderation in secondary market volumes. (5 intensifying, 1 high-severity)

Concentration in Wealth and Private segments has actually increased, now contributing 57% of total revenue compared to 47% in the same quarter last year. While this is a strategic focus, it increases the company's reliance on these specific segments. (3 intensifying, 2 easing)

This risk is easing significantly. Asset Management revenue (management fees) grew 37% YoY, and Public Markets AUM specifically surged by 93% YoY. (2 easing, 2 stable, 1 intensifying)

The risk has materialized with a ₹11 crore one-time impact in Q3 due to revisited past service liabilities under the new enacted code. (1 stable)

Execution risk is intensifying as Opex grew 23% YoY in Q2, driven by technology initiatives. Employee costs also rose 8% YoY as the company plans to double RM capacity. (1 intensifying, 2 stable)
