NEW DELHI – UTI Asset Management Co. Ltd. will focus on scaling up its operations by capturing young investors and will work on ways to ensure long-term returns for investors. The company is making an effort to improve its investment management to increase the returns for investors sustainably, its management said in a post-earnings analyst call Thursday.

 

The company will mainly target "first-time investors who are coming into the mutual fund, the young investors who have started working, as well as we are looking at people who have got into the next cycle of their life stages, getting married and then starting a family and increasing their responsibilities," the management said. 

 

The management said that systematic investment plans and mutual funds have shown resilience in India in the quarter ended June despite the lacklustre equity market performance amid global uncertainties. This can be attributed to the shift in household savings, which UTI AMC wants to tap better, the management said. It will focus on "expanding its business operations beyond major cities for increased penetration of SIP and MF," the management said. "Sustained SIP contributions and continued financialisation of household savings reinforce our confidence in the long-term growth opportunity for the asset management industry."

 

Financial results released Wednesday showed the company's net profit for the June quarter was INR 2.18 billion, almost flat from a year ago. Thursday, shares of the company closed at INR 904.05 on the National Stock Exchange, down 0.6%. 

 

According to the management, as UTI AMC's business approaches the INR-4-trillion quarterly average assets under management milestone, "our focus remains not only on growing with the industry, but on consistently improving our competitive position and increasing our share of industry assets through disciplined execution and industry excellence."

UTI AMC's mutual fund franchise's quarterly average AUM reached INR 3.93 trillion as of Jun. 30, contributing to total group AUM of INR 20.57 trillion. "We remain particularly encouraged by the improving quality of our asset mix, with equity assets across both active and passive strategies accounting for 70% of our average mutual fund AUM, compared to the industry's equity-to-non-equity mix of 62-38, reflecting our continued focus on long-term wealth creation," the management said. 

 

Going forward, the company will be focused on increasing the flow market share in equity products. "Flow market share eventually needs to exceed stock market share," the management said.  End
