Bajaj Finserv has got the approval nod from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for setting up an Asset Management Company. So what is this new business update and how does this information affected the stock price of the company. Let’s discuss it all in this short article.

Introduction:

SEBI Nod to AMC Business:

• In the exchange filing, the company said “Accordingly, the Company would be setting up an Asset Management Company and the Trustee Company, directly or indirectly i.e., itself or through its subsidiary in accordance with applicable SEBI Regulations and other applicable laws.”
• Since the AUM business has not been set up wholly, but the market has started discounting the stock on this news. And hence this is unjustifiable.
• The other established players like UTI AMC which is having a market capitalization of around Rs. 13,000- Rs. 14,000 Cr. handles the assets worth more than Rs. 1 Lakh Cr., Nippon AMC with a Market Cap of around Rs. 25,000 Cr. have an AUM size of around Rs. 2 Lakh Cr., and lastly the largest player HDFC AMC with a market cap of above Rs. 62,000 Cr. manages the Assets of over Rs. 4 Lakh Cr.
• The addition of this new business line will add a new feather to the total business.

But one should wait and should look at how things develop. Hence, one should be not be driven and news only and should assess the business and other parameters as well.
