Old but relevant article on AMC's here

Very good article but markets rerate AMC forays as if the gold would fall the next day but once companies achieve traction then there is a windfall gain to be made that is because most of the costs are fixed.

The prospective entrants in this business are Axis Bank, Religare, Edelweiss. But actually getting that kind of an Amc would not happen overnight.

I am highly positive about AMC business. The best thing about it is the scalability. Say if the AMU has increased 10,20 or 100 times, still the efforts/costs required to manage would be almost same. This means its a lucrative business to be in for established players. Some time ago I read in news some where that franklin templeton is planning to come out with an IPO in India. I would definitely apply for it. I also wish that once AMC's become profitable, the companies like HDFC, Rel Capital list them seperately.
There is so much of opportunity out there with just 2-3% of all savings going in to equity. Even if it increases to 10%, the implications for the fund managing companies is mind boggling.

It should be a block buster IPO I despperately want to buy a AMC but all the embedded plays like Reliance, Tata Investment, Sundaram, Kotak are all underrepresented in their ooverall business by their AMC business so even a big move in the AMC profits will just nudge the overall profits.

New players entering ...
 
The public sector Union Bank has decided to enter the Mutal Fund business as part of its diversification process, Bank Chairman and Managing Director M V Nair said here on Monday.

"We will start looking for a partner for the Mutal Fund business and it will be operationalised by the middle of next fiscal," he told reporters after the two-day Board meeting of the Bank here.

The Bank plans to enter 20 countries by 2012, subject to approval of the controller.

AMC is becoming a fancy business vertical more them the distribution network which is needed to sell products these new entrants would have to look at smart people to manage the show. Quality fund managers are very much a scarce commodity and it would be interesting to note from where these ppl get their managers.

AUMs increases as market rises. What we need to find out is how much retail guys have actualy invested. Also, AMCs have debt component greater than equity as corporate guys prefer debt to equity.
 
UTI MF IPO will open in Feb. You can buy pure AMC then !
