Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Nimesh Kampani, Chairman, JM Financial Group, said,
“In the context of the long term sustained growth objective of the government, the focus on infrastructure and rural sectors in the budget was a step in the right direction. The decision of rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India in its bi-monthly monetary policy was also a welcome step to incentivise the economy.
India is projected to become the world's fastest growing economy by 2017 and is expected to sustain such growth over foreseeable timeframe.. Therefore despite the uncertainty in emerging and global markets, Indian markets will still offer tremendous wealth creation opportunities for the Investors.
We delivered sound results this year as well. Looking at the performance for the full year, the fund based businesses and asset management business have done reasonably well. It reflects our ongoing strategy to build platforms for growth while continuing focus on maintaining leadership in the advisory business. We also remain focused on maintaining prudent risk profile and building on our core values.
As we enter into the next financial year, while our priorities remain the same with an addition of focus to leverage on evolving opportunities in technology backed platforms that can be complimentary to our businesses.”

Fund based business:
The overall lending book stood at Rs. 7,214 crore as on March 31, 2016 as against Rs.5,388 crore as on March 31, 2015. Out of the total lending book, the real estate lending was Rs.5,629 crore whereas the non-real estate lending was Rs.1,586 crore. The treasury book as on March 31, 2016 for the fixed income securities stood at Rs. 257 crore. We continued our efforts of diversifying our sources and maturities for our borrowing profile.

Our commercial real estate funding focus is on Tier - 1 cities, viz., Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. We plan to selectively enter into new geographies to expand our business. The Budget proposal to extend the recovery powers to NBFC’s under the SARFESI Act will help our risk mitigation and recovery processes.
During the quarter, the asset reconstruction business actively participated in several NPA auction processes and also initiated discussions with banks for acquiring non-performing assets. This was a good quarter in terms of acquisition. We closed nineteen deals – nine fresh acquisitions and ten deals as part of debt aggregation. Focused efforts were made towards resolution of our acquired portfolio and majority of the recovery came from restructured accounts.
Recognising the role of Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) in dealing with high level of stress in the Indian banking system, the Budget also addressed a long standing demand from the ARCs to enable sponsors to hold up to 100% stake in an ARC. In addition, the Budget has also allowed 100% FDI in ARCs through automatic route. These provisions will open up avenues for ARCs and facilitate them to strengthen the capital base and effectively participate in the huge NPA market in India. Allowing non-institutional investors to invest in SRs and removing the 74% investment cap in each scheme of SRs for FPIs will lead to increase in the depth of Security Receipts market. The budget also provides clarity on taxation in the hands of Trusts set up by ARCs and confers a pass-through status to the Trusts. Passing of the Bankruptcy Law is another positive development towards NPA resolution.
With persistent high level of NPAs, improving economic scenario and increasing recognition for the role of ARCs, the outlook for the business looks promising. We will continue to focus on acquisition of accounts with revival potential and restructuring & resolution of our acquired portfolio.
Alternative Asset Management:
At the end of the quarter, the combined AUM/AUA of our private equity and real estate funds stood at around Rs. 770 crore.
