HDFC AMC reported a solid Q4 FY26 with revenue from operations at ₹4,120 crore (+18% YoY) and PAT at ₹2,860 crore (+16% YoY). AUM grew 20% YoY to ₹9.3 trillion, driven by strong equity inflows and a disciplined investor base. SIP/STP flows rose 33% YoY to ₹48.8 billion in March, reflecting resilient retail participation despite market volatility. The company added 3.5 million unique investors (total 16.7 million), capturing 27% industry share. Management highlighted expansion in alternatives (private credit fund with IFC), PMS mandates (EPFO/SPFO), and international business (5 Gift City funds). Guidance focuses on offsetting the 3-4 bps gross impact from new BER regulations via commission optimization, with no material P&L impact expected. Key risk: sustained market downturn could test investor discipline and pressure flows.

We are not approaching this as a race. In a category like this, being early doesn't necessarily create an advantage.
We run a very tight ship. Look at our expense as a basis point of AUM; we would be one of the best run not only in India but in the world.
