The Road Ahead

As the second-largest AMC in India by total AUM (trailing only SBI AMC), ICICI Prudential is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing "financialization of savings." Analysts remain bullish, citing its strong distribution network of over 1.12 lakh partners and its leadership in the Multi-Asset and Value investing categories led by S. Naren.
