Revenue guidance

Category 4
  • UTI MF expects growth driven by high-yielding assets, with a focus on improving equity scheme market share.
  • The equity market share is targeted to improve quarter-on-quarter through pushing flagship products and deeper market penetration beyond top 50 cities.
  • The ETF segment is growing, contributing to overall AUM expansion, though yielding lower fees, so revenues may moderate marginally.
  • Positive inflows are expected in debt funds due to attractive yields amid policy rate peaking around 6.5%.
  • Digital initiatives and geographic expansion are planned, potentially boosting future sales and AUM.
  • The board will review special dividend decisions, indicating prudent cash management aligned with growth plans.
  • Overall, revenues may see short-term volatility due to market conditions, but strategic focus on yield, product mix, and customer acquisition points to sustainable growth.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Focus on high-yielding assets expected to improve overall returns and earnings.
  • Management committed to increasing market share in equity schemes, which could drive revenue growth.

  • Debt segment outlook positive with expected inflows due to attractive yields (policy rate peaking around 6.5%).
  • Expense management and digital/geographical expansion initiatives may support margin improvement.
  • Variable pay and performance incentives are linked to scheme performance, aligning employee costs with results.
  • No immediate plans for special dividend; retained earnings to be invested in growth strategies.
  • Revenue growth might face marginal dilution from increasing ETF share (lower fee yields) but overall AUM growth supports absolute revenue gains.
  • Market volatility currently limits forward-looking earnings guidance, but strategic focus on product and distribution depth is aimed at sustained growth.
