Major Indian asset management companies (AMCs) reported a significant jump in profitability for the quarter ended June 2026, with profit after tax rising between 12% and 27% year-on-year.

The sector-wide surge was fueled by a combination of steady growth in core assets under management (AUM) and substantial income generated from the firms' own Treasury investments.

HDFC Asset Management, for instance, saw its net profit climb 12% to ₹837 crore, attributing the growth to steady inflows and an expanding AUM base.

The results highlight the dual benefit AMCs are deriving from the current market environment.

While core business operations expanded due to consistent inflows, the buoyant equity markets provided an additional boost through mark-to-market gains.

This dynamic has allowed firms to enhance their bottom line beyond traditional fee-based revenue streams.
