Valuation and Outlook

We believe Investors are getting best opportunity to invest in the industry leader at a reasonable price. Assuming Indian Mutual Fund Industry is in focus and expecting higher inflows going forward and with low penetration levels will support growth in AMC business in the long run. Considering the higher concentration level of equity assets in the AUM, most profitable AMC label and the parent brand name association, IPO offer price seems to be justified. On valuation perse HDFCAMC is available at 32x PE with 40%+ ROE for last 15 years and expect the similar growth in next few years. We accept that HDFC AMC would report better growth performance in the long run and will match up to its listed groupcompanies performance. Hence we recommend investors to “SUBSCRIBE” the issue with a view of making long term wealth.
