Bernstein turns bullish on India's wealth management sector, initiates call on Nuvama, 360 One Wealth, and Anand Rathi
As India's affluent population surges, Bernstein has initiated coverage on leading wealth management firms, calling the sector a compelling long-term play on rising household financialisation and private wealth growth.
In its report titled 'Wealth Management in an Emerging Market: An Oxymoron No More' , Bernstein forecasts a multi-year growth opportunity and rising market penetration in the organised wealth advisory space. The brokerage noted that India's ultra-rich now hold over $2.7 trillion in wealth, laying the foundation for rapid expansion in financial services.
Bernstein has given an outperform rating to Nuvama Wealth Management (formerly Edelweiss Securities) with a target price of ₹9,790/share, and to 360 One Wealth (formerly IIFL Wealth) with a target price of ₹1,410/share. Meanwhile, Anand Rathi Wealth has been rated market perform , with a target of ₹2,580/share.
The brokerage highlighted that players like Nuvama and 360 One are well-positioned to tap into a growing pool of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-HNIs, supported by strong technology platforms, differentiated advisory models, and an expanding client base across India's tier-1 and tier-2 cities.
While the industry still faces challenges like client stickiness, fee pressure, and competition from global players, Bernstein expects these firms to gain meaningful market share over the next decade as more Indians seek structured financial advice and portfolio diversification.

BP hails Brazil block as its largest global oil and gas find in 25 years
By Shadia Nasralla and Yadarisa Shabong (Reuters) -BP has made its largest global oil and gas discovery in 25 years in Brazil's Santos basin, it said on Monday, in what may be a major boost for the British company's strategic shift away from renewable energy to refocus on fossil fuels. BP is seeking to bolster oil and gas in its portfolio to regain investor confidence and revive underperforming shares. It said it planned to create a major new output hub at the Bumerangue discovery in Brazil, which a BP spokesperson said was probably the company's biggest since Shah Deniz in 1999, a gas and condensate field in the Azeri part of the Caspian Sea. Shah Deniz, with around 1 trillion cubic metres of gas and 2 billion barrels of condensate initially in place, produced 28 billion standard cubic metres of gas last year, according to BP. The company gave no reserve estimate for the Brazilian block. "Brazil is an important country for BP, and our ambition is to explore the potential of establishing a material and advantaged production hub in the country," said Gordon Birrell, BP's production and operations chief. BP shares gained 1.3% by 1107 GMT, outperforming a broader index of European energy companies which was up 0.1%. "This find may well see BP's upstream portfolio longevity extending well into the 2030s/40s, and it is this that has been the biggest issue and concern," Bernstein analyst Irene Himona said in a note. "Although we cannot extrapolate as it is too early, and each well and each reservoir is different, we believe the data ... provides support that the potential scale for this 100% BP discovery could be a game changer." The Bumerange block is "promising and strategically located" in Santos basin, wrote Jean Paul Prates, former CEO of state-run oil firm Petrobras on social media, while warning that fields with high carbon dioxide (CO2) content in its associated gas can be "uneconomic." Associated gas is a byproduct of oil production, found mixed with oil in reservoirs or as a cap above the oil. "BP has yet to disclose the CO2 level in Bumerangue," wrote Prates, adding this will "ultimately determine Bumerangue's viability." BP said in its Monday announcement that results from the rig-site analysis indicate elevated levels of CO2. It did not immediately reply to the questions about economic viability of the field raised by Prates. BP, which forecast its oil and gas production at 2.3 million to 2.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2030, said this was its tenth discovery this year, following findings in Trinidad, Egypt, Brazil and others. The company produced 2.4 million barrels of oil equivalent in 2024 and expects lower production this year. BP had secured the Bumerangue block in the Santos basin far off the Brazilian coast in a "pre-salt" formation beneath the ocean floor in December 2022 with what it said were "very good commercial terms." Fellow London-listed rival Shell this year made a final investment decision for another project in the Santos Basin. BP is set to report its second-quarter results on Tuesday.

SEC Chief Paul Atkin's Project Crypto Flying Under Radar Amid Market Selloff: Bernstein
As crypto markets plunged Friday, a potentially historic regulatory shift flew under the radar, Wall Street broker Bernstein said in a research report Monday. In a speech that Bernstein analysts called 'the boldest and most transformative crypto vision ever laid out by a sitting SEC chair,' U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins unveiled 'Project Crypto', a sweeping initiative to modernize the country's outdated securities rules for the digital age. The initiative aims to overhaul U.S. securities laws to accommodate digital assets, continuing a broader push to make the U.S. a global hub for crypto innovation. Central to the plan is 'reshoring', Bernstein noted, bringing crypto businesses back to the U.S. after years of regulatory uncertainty pushed them offshore. The Commission intends to use its interpretative and exemptive powers to modernize outdated rules, ensuring they don't stifle entrepreneurship or competition, the report said. In a sharp reversal from past SEC messaging, Atkins said most crypto assets are not securities. He blamed confusion around the Howey Test for stalling capital formation and pledged to introduce clearer standards for categorizing digital assets, including commodities, stablecoins, collectibles, and security-like tokens with governance and distribution rights. Bernstein said the plan also lays the groundwork for domestic tokenization of traditional assets like stocks and bonds. With Wall Street giants and tech unicorns already lined up, the SEC wants to build the world's largest tokenized securities market, on American soil, the report in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
