Commenting on the results and performance for FY25, Mr. Ashish Shah, Managing Director of Wealth First Portfolio Managers Limited said:
“FY25 marked a strong year for our core business revenue, which constitutes the most substantial portion of our topline. This segment grew by an impressive 40.1% year-on-year to Rs. 58.31 crore, highlighting the strength of our operating model and the depth of our client engagement. Accounting for approximately 97% of our total revenue, this stream continues to demonstrate strong momentum, and we remain confident in our ability to sustain this growth trajectory in the coming quarters and years.
Our total revenue for FY25 stood at Rs. 60.1 crore, reflecting a 10.3% year-on-year decline. This was primarily due to a reduction in revenue from trading activities and other income streams. Performance in these areas was impacted by broader market corrections, leading to mark-to-market drawdowns in the equity portion of our portfolio and limited profit realization. Given the inherent volatility of these revenue streams, such fluctuations are expected and closely tied to prevailing market conditions.
Despite market uncertainties, we delivered strong growth in FY25, with total AUA rising 15% YoY to Rs. 11,623 crore. Our trail- based AUM (includes Mutual Fund, PMS and AIF) stood at Rs. 5,386 crore, marking a robust 20% YoY increase. Additionally, our cost-to-income ratio improved from 28% in FY24 to 26% in FY25, reflecting our ongoing focus on cost efficiency and operational discipline.
Our client base saw healthy expansion, with 1,210 new clients added during the year, taking the total to 20,759. We also welcomed 674 new client families, bringing the total to 6,578 reflecting a 11% YoY increase. In parallel, we grew our Relationship Manager team by 21% and remain committed to further strengthening this critical growth lever.
Aligned with our shareholder value strategy, the Board declared a final dividend of Rs. 4.0 per share, bringing the total FY25 dividend to Rs. 16.0 (160% of face value), in line with our policy to distribute a minimum of 30% of consolidated PAT annually.
We remain confident in India’s long-term growth, with rising incomes, growing financial awareness, and under penetration in organized wealth management creating strong opportunities to scale and expand our market share.”

We do not do anything Earth shattering. We stick to the basics. It is one truth that has not changed for more than three decades.
Sift through reams We carefully assess all new policies, announcements and guidelines, to understand their significance, revealing valuable insights and anticipating challenges. We sift carefully from among the investment avenues that are overcrowding the space and mind.
We keep it simple and smart Consistent returns in Indian wealth management don't require complex products. Our decades of experience affirm the effectiveness of our simple, smart approach, even if it seems ordinary.
Our clients trust us deeply, not just with their checks, but with a part of themselves. To nurture the priceless intangible, we go above and beyond.
We stay detached from brands Our product selection has a simple premise, ‘Customer returns’. We remain loyal to high-yielding products not high-recall brands.
Connect to Protect We've built strong ties with finance experts and market leaders, fostering valuable discussions to anticipate challenges and protect our clients' wealth.
We
