What the record says.
HDFC AMC reported a strong Q3 FY26 with operating revenue of ₹1,233 crore (+15% YoY) and PAT of ₹770 crore (+20% YoY). Operating margin improved to 36% (up 100 bps QoQ) due to lower other expenses. Key drivers: industry SIP inflows hit a record ₹310 billion in December, and HDFC AMC added 2.8 million unique investors (total 15.4 million). The company crossed ₹9 trillion in total AUM, with equity AUM at ₹6 trillion (65.5% mix). PMS AUM crossed ₹5,000 crore, and the first close of a structured credit fund raised ₹1,290 crore. Management expects yields to remain steady despite telescopic pricing, and aims to maintain operating margins within 33-36 bps. Regulatory changes (exit load removal, TER restructuring) are expected to be managed via optimization, similar to 2019. Risk: potential margin compression from regulatory changes and competitive pressure in passive flows.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management aims to keep operating margins in the 33-36 bps range through cost discipline and operating leverage, despite telescopic pricing pressure.
- The removal of 5 bps exit load and TER restructuring will be managed via optimization, similar to 2019 playbook, with net impact expected to be small.
- PMS AUM crossed ₹5,000 crore; structured credit fund first close at ₹1,290 crore. Plans to launch second VC/PE fund of funds and engage global institutions.
- Equity market share via HDFC Bank is in late 20s vs industry 13%; dedicated team and digital collaboration expected to increase AUM share over time.
Risks flagged
- Removal of 5 bps additional TER and TER restructuring may impact larger schemes; management expects to optimize but net effect uncertain.
- Analyst raised concern about flows into funds managed by exiting fund manager Rashi; management downplayed but acknowledged potential sentiment impact.
- As AUM scales, sliding scale TER structure naturally compresses yields; management expects steady yields but compression is inevitable over time.
- Liquid fund market share dropped from ~13% to ~11% over 10-11 quarters; management attributes to institutional client movements but no specific mitigation.
Key quotes
- We don't sacrifice profitability just for market share or for a scale for us that's very critical.
- The positive side of this change if I can highlight one is reduced ER and hence even better alpha.
- I hope that in my lifetime I don't have to answer that question. In my lifetime it will remain active and passive rather than active versus passive.
