We are also pleased to announce a special dividend of Rs 35 per share, in line with our focus on improving capital efficiency and moving towards a consolidated ROE of 20%.

The company has achieved critical milestones across all key focus areas – ARR AUM (at 50% of total AUM), ARR Net flows (at Rs 36,000 crore over last 5 quarters), and recurring revenues (at 67% of Q1 revenues) – overall, we are well on track in our ambitious business model change journey, initiated in 2019, for end of FY 2022.

Regulatory changes with regard to Advisory and accredited investors are path-breaking and we are excited by the opportunities it offers for us as well as for the overall industry. With our continued sharpening of IIFL-ONE – Advisory and Portfolio Management Propositions – we clearly remain market leaders in this space.

Our alternate asset management space continues to see a great response to new products from both institutions, family offices and HNIs across strategies, including listed equity; unlisted equity; credit as well as real estate.

Client sentiment continues to be positive with a bias towards risk. We continue to maintain a judicious allocation between fixed income and equities across portfolios – and broadly have an asset allocation split of 50% each in the above asset classes.”
