Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Non-executive Vice Chairman, JM Financial Limited, said, “The Indian economy has been showing resilience driven by strong fundamentals. Banks and NBFCs are broadening credit expansion and penetration, thanks to healthy balance sheets, capital adequacy and improved asset quality. Equity markets are demonstrating heightened activity levels with a strong IPO rally. 

We are happy to report our highest ever quarterly revenues and operating profit after tax. Our Integrated Investment Bank segment saw continued momentum. In CY2023, JM Financial ranked #1 for the highest number of IPOs executed.

The retail mortgage lending segment has demonstrated strong growth and has expanded to 112 branches. Our investments will continue in the retail mortgage business as we continue to diversify our loan book.  We witnessed strong repayments in our wholesale mortgage lending segment.

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

We continue to invest in the physical and digital infrastructure in the Platform AWS businesses. Closing AUM of our mutual fund business crossed Rs. 5,000 crore in the month of January 2024 with equity AUM of Rs. 2,928 crore. We have witnessed strong growth in trading volumes for the broking business and strong traction in the SEBI MTF book.

Looking ahead, although the global economy is expecting muted growth, the Indian economy is likely to maintain its growth momentum on the back of upward corporate profitability and consumer confidence. We maintain a bullish outlook for our integrated Investment Bank, retail mortgage and platform AWS businesses and are aligning our strategic approach and resources to capitalize on the conducive market environment.”
