Anand Rathi Wealth reported a 6% decline in Assets Under Management (AUM) for Q4 FY26, primarily due to a 10% markdown in portfolio values linked to broader market corrections. However, CEO Rakesh Rawal reassured investors that net inflows remained robust, totaling over ₹3,000 crore during the quarter, reflecting strong client commitments. He highlighted that the decline in AUM was a market-driven issue, not a result of client withdrawals. For FY26, the company achieved an underlying profit growth of 29% and revenue growth of 22%, despite some one-time costs impacting the results. Looking ahead, Rawal anticipates a strong FY27, with profit growth expected to align closely with revenue growth as margins approach their ceiling. The firm plans to maintain its current asset allocation strategy, which is designed to deliver a 14–15% annual return to clients, emphasizing stability in its investment approach amidst market fluctuations.
