19 May 2026 CW Team

Monarch Networth Capital Limited (Monarch Networth) reported its annual audited financial results for FY 2025-26, posting a profit after tax of Rs 1812 mn, up 21.4 per cent year on year from Rs 1493 mn in FY25. Return on equity for the year was 20.5 per cent while net worth rose to Rs 9720 mn. Total consolidated revenue was Rs 3730 mn and earnings per share were Rs 22.91.

The company said growth was broad based across business verticals despite a challenging capital market environment. The reported profit continues a steep trajectory from a profit of Rs 20 mn in FY20 to Rs 1812 mn in FY26, reflecting several years of disciplined execution and strategic investment in new verticals. Revenue expansion and margin improvements underpinned the results.

The board approved an ambitious strategic roadmap for FY27 focused on scaling asset management and distribution. Targets include increasing portfolio management services assets under management to Rs 5000 mn by 30 June 2026 from the current Rs 2100 mn, representing 138 per cent growth. The plan also envisages launching open-ended alternative investment funds in FY27, raising a pre-initial public offering fund with a minimum AUM of Rs 2500 mn, targeting total AUM of Rs 30000 mn across verticals by 31 March 2027, and launching the first mutual fund scheme by 30 September 2026.

Management indicated that the shift to an asset-under-management driven model is intended to enhance recurring revenue and earnings predictability. The leadership said the company will leverage its captive retail distribution and research driven investment track record to cross-sell products and scale AUM while continuing to focus on execution and client value.
