Key Personnel
- Sunil Rohokale – CEO & MD
- George Heber Joseph – CIO & Head – Equity
- Fund Managers: Sumit Jain, Sandip Bansal, Chetan Thacker.etc
Strengths, Risks & Outlook
Strengths
- Strong focus on recurring advisory income (~95%), minimal operational risk from broking or lending activities
- High profitability (~38% PAT margin), zero debt, and robust financial health
- Strong industry reputation for long-term equity investing and consistent governance.
Risks
- Experienced client outflows reported in 2024 (loss of ~3,700 PMS clients), leading to AUM decline from ₹25,851 cr to ₹23,952 cr in a few months
- Underperformance of certain strategies relative to benchmarks affected client retention.
- Heavy reliance on affiliated banks for distribution; limited third-party reach could constrain client acquisition
Summary: ASK is a high-margin, annuity-fee PMS firm with deep roots in India's wealth space. While leadership continues in discretionary strategies, focus on distribution and retention is critical for future growth.
Industry Outlook
The Indian PMS industry managed over ₹6.9 lakh crore (June 2025), up from ₹4.8 lakh crore (FY 2021), across 450+ providers.
Growth Drivers
- Rising HNI/UHNI population: 1India’s wealthy class is expanding rapidly, with more than 1.4 million HNIs expected by 2027.
- PMS is preferred for customized, actively managed equity portfolios.
- Investment sophistication: Investors are shifting from mutual funds to PMS for alpha generation, direct ownership, and transparency.
SEBI’s reforms have strengthened compliance (e.g., minimum investment of ₹50 lakh, reporting norms), adding credibility. - Onboarding and reporting have become more digital and investor-friendly.
- GIFT City growth: Global investors (NRI, FPI) increasingly use PMS platforms based in GIFT IFSC, enhancing cross-border flows.
Key Trends
- Thematic, concentrated strategies (ESG, small-cap, dividend-yield)
- Evolving fee models (fixed + performance-based)
- Use of AI, analytics in portfolio management
- Rise of AIFs competing for same investor base
Challenges
- Volatile market underperformance risk
- High churn due to fee sensitivity and short-term expectations
- Limited reach in Tier 2/3 cities
- Small independent distribution network
Conclusion: PMS in India is moving into a mature, high-margin phase powered by wealth creation, digital transformation, and rising investor demand for personalized performance-driven strategies.
