雅虎香港財經 JPMorgan, BNY Mellon Mull Entering India Asset Management Market
Given that India’s asset management industry is rapidly growing, Wall Street firms like JPMorgan JPM and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation BK are considering entry. According to people with knowledge of the matter, JPM and BK already have strategies ready on how they will operate in India.
JPM and BNY Mellon plan to begin operations in India in the next 12-18 months. However, the timelines for approaching SEBI to seek licenses to operate in the country’s asset management industry are not yet known.
Both firms will likely have different styles of entering the India markets. While JPMorgan’s execution strategy is not yet clear, BNY Mellon plans to enter India with its own products and distribution channel.
Per a source, “JPMorgan is looking at a few companies for acquisition and it is also open to equity partnerships with existing players.”
While BK will likely interview candidates for across positions, JPMorgan is looking at senior to mid-management positions.
If JPM’s plans work out, this will be the Wall Street giant’s re-entry into India’s asset management industry. Notably, in 2016, JPM decided to exit the India markets.
Over the past six months, JPM and BK shares have gained 15.8% and 12.5%, respectively, compared with the industry’s 11% growth.
