Nuvama receives final SEBI approval to launch Mutual Fund Business
Nuvama Wealth Management Limited, announced that it has received the final approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to commence mutual fund operations through its asset management arm, Nuvama Asset Management Limited (“AMC”).
The
approval marks an important milestone in Nuvama's journey to build a scaled
asset management franchise. As the next step, the AMC will seek necessary
approvals to launch investment products under the Specialized Investment Fund
(SIF) framework, followed by a broader range of mutual fund offerings over time.
This
development further strengthens Nuvama's position as an integrated wealth and
asset management platform and expands its ability to deliver differentiated
investment solutions across investor segments.
Since
its inception, Nuvama has built one of India's most trusted and scaled wealth
management platforms, currently managing total client assets of over ₹4.5
trillion (as of March 2026) and serving more than 1.3 million affluent, HNI,
and UHNI clients, as well as 4,750+ of India's wealthiest families. The Nuvama Group
has also developed a focused alternative asset management franchise with client
assets of over ₹12,500 crore as of 31 March, 2026.
Commenting
on the development, Ashish
Kehair, MD & CEO of Nuvama Group said, “SEBI's approval to establish our
mutual fund business is another important building block in Nuvama's integrated
wealth and asset management platform. Our investment expertise, distribution
reach and strong client base positions us well to scale a distinctive asset
management business. We plan to begin
with Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs), where our experience in managing differentiated
public market strategies gives us a unique edge and enables us to extend these
capabilities to a broader set of investors. Over time, we intend to expand into
a wider suite of investment solutions."
Nuvama
enters the mutual fund space at a time when the Indian asset management
industry is experiencing strong and sustained growth, with industry-wide AUM
surpassing ₹80 lakh crore. With domestic investor participation rising steadily,
driven by increasing financial awareness, favourable demographics, and growing
systematic investment plan (SIP) culture the mutual fund industry is widely
expected to continue its robust growth trajectory over the coming decade.
