Sanlam invests in Indian asset management firm Shriram AMC
South African asset manager Sanlam has entered into a strategic partnership with Shriram Group's business unit, Shriram Asset Management Company (Shriram AMC). Shriram AMC operates in various financial services, including commercial vehicles, consumer finance, life and general insurance, stock broking, chit funds, and financial product distribution. Under the deal, Shriram AMC has preferentially allotted 3.89 million equity shares to Sanlam Emerging Markets (Mauritius) (SEMM), resulting in a capital infusion of Rs1.05bn ($12.2m). This investment grants SEMM a 23% direct stake in Shriram AMC, marking its entry as a co-promoter alongside Shriram Credit Company Limited (SCCL). Consequently, the total promoter shareholding has risen from 62.55% to 71.17%, prompting a reconstitution of Shriram AMC's board to include representatives from Sanlam. The partnership is part of Shriram Group's strategy to enhance its financial services portfolio. Shriram AMC managing director and CEO Kartik Jain said: 'Leveraging its expertise in both quantitative and fundamental analysis, Sanlam will enhance the sophistication of Shriram AMC's investment processes and help deliver relevant and differentiated investment solutions to the right customer segments.' In 2022, the group had already secured an investment from Mission1 Investments, which acquired a 23% stake in Shriram AMC. This latest investment from Sanlam is seen as a continuation of the group's efforts to strengthen its asset management business and create a comprehensive platform for asset management services. Sanlam Investments CEO Carl Roothman said: 'We see India as a strategic growth market, and our partnership with Shriram AMC reflects our commitment to co-creating investment excellence, particularly in emerging markets. 'With over two decades of successful collaboration between the Shriram Group and Sanlam, this partnership builds on a long-standing legacy of trust, and a mutual vision to create impactful investments that benefit society.' The collaboration between Shriram Group and Sanlam is built on over two decades of joint ventures in various sectors, including financing, life insurance, and general insurance. In November 2024, Sanlam signed a binding agreement with Ninety One to establish a long-term partnership, making Ninety One the primary active investment manager for Sanlam's single-managed local and global products.

Sanlam invests Rs 105 crore for 23% stake in Shriram Group's AMC arm
South Africa's Sanlam has invested Rs 105 crore for a 23 per cent stake in Shriram Group's asset management arm. The transaction marks the entry of Sanlam, an asset manager having over USD 80 billion under management, into the Indian market. It has an over 2-decade partnership with the Chennai-based diversified financial services group. With the investment, Sanlam becomes a co-promoter in Shriram Asset Management Company (AMC) with ShriramCredit Company, a statement said. The overall promoter stake in the listed company will increase to 71.17 per cent from the 62.55 per cent currently, it added. Sanlam Emerging Markets (Mauritius) was allotted 38.89 lakh shares in a preferential allotment, the statement said. It can be noted that the Indian AMC space has been attracting a slew of global players, and Blackrock was among the last major investors to enter the fray through a tie-up with Jio Financial Services. The last few years have seen a steady increase in the Indian AMCs' AUM. The capital raised from Sanlam will be utilised for expanding offerings and attracting talent, the Shriram Group statement said. "Leveraging its expertise in both quantitative and fundamental analysis, Sanlam will enhance the sophistication of Shriram AMC's investment processes and help deliver relevant and differentiated investment solutions to the right customer segments," Shriram AMC's managing director and chief executive Kartik Jain said. He termed the fund infusion a "strong endorsement" of the company's "quantamental approach" that fuses data science with fundamental insights. Shriram AMC's board will be reconstituted to include Sanlam's representatives, it said. Sanlam Investments' chief executive Carl Roothman said India is a strategic growth market for the group, and added that this partnership builds on a long-standing legacy of trust, and a mutual vision to create impactful investments. Shriram AMC had previously received funding from Mission1 Investments LLC in 2022 for a 23 per cent stake.
