(Rs. in Cr)

Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Non-executive Vice Chairman, JM Financial Limited, said, “Though the global economy battled elevated inflation, geopolitical uncertainties and volatile financial conditions during the Q2 FY24, Indian capital markets continued with their robust performance driven by the rush of IPOs, block deals and public issue of debt. Our investments in the integrated investment bank segment are on the right track with the segment delivering another quarter of strong performance across equity, distribution, trading and fixed income.

 

During the quarter, JM Financial Home Loans achieved the milestone of crossing 100 branches. Our investments will continue in the retail mortgages business. Retail mortgage business is the cornerstone of our diversification strategy.

On the alternative and distressed credit business, we continue to face delays in some of our large resolutions. Due to the delay, we expect lower than expected realization in these assets over the coming few quarters.

Our investments in Platform AWS businesses are on track. Closing AUM of our mutual fund business crossed Rs. 4,000 crore and AUM of equity schemes grew to Rs. 1,783 crore. We have witnessed strong growth in the broking business across daily volumes and loan book.

We are in the midst of executing several initiatives, some of which have already started showing results. We reported our highest ever quarterly revenues. We are confident in our ability to grow in various market environments while maintaining a strong capital position and remaining committed to drive value for our stakeholders.”
