Mr. Karan Bhagat, MD & CEO, 360 ONE WAM commented on the Q3 performance and said “The global macro environment continues to remain moderate with high inflation and interest rates raising questions on growth in the short term. This uncertainty has resulted in volatility in all asset classes over the last quarter. While we remain cautiously optimistic in the near term, the comprehensiveness of our product offerings and advisory expertise helps in enabling clients to maintain an optimal asset diversification strategy and navigate the volatility of the current investment landscape.”

“During the quarter, we rebranded ourselves to “360 ONE” which is an embodiment of two words that are extremely important to us – ‘360’ represents the holistic view we take of the ‘ONE’ person whose interests are always first: Our Client. For the quarter, despite a weak global geopolitical and macro environment, our Annual Recurring Revenue Assets witnessed healthy net flows of ₹10,386 Crs and ARR AUM stood at ₹166 K Crs up 20% over last year,” he said.

“The current quarter has seen sustained strong Profit after Tax (PAT) of ₹180 Crs. Our retentions remained healthy with wealth management retention at 56 bps, asset management retention at 83 bps and aggregate retention at 62 bps. Also, our cost to income in the current quarter has remained steady at ~45% as we continue to keep a sharp focus across all expense heads. We strongly believe that India’s long-term inclusive growth story places the wealth management industry in sweet spot, strongly supported by increased momentum in Tier 2 cities, inter-generational wealth transfer and sustained monetization events. We are well-positioned to optimally leverage these trends and further lead the industry with our advisory proposition and leadership in alternative investments offerings,” said Mr. Karan Bhagat.

“This quarter, our Tangible ROE has further improved to 29%. We are happy to report our fourth interim dividend of ₹17 and remain committed to our dividend pay-out strategy. In addition, we have also proposed a share split and bonus issue in the ratio of 1:1, respectively, subject to shareholders approval,” Mr. Karan Bhagat further added.
