Computer Age Management Services IPO

Computer Age Management Services (CAMS) is looking to raise up to US$314m in its Indian IPO. The company is backed by Warburg Pincus and counts NSE, HDFC and HDFC Bank amongst its shareholders.

CAMS is India’s largest registrar and transfer agent (RTA) of mutual funds (MFs). As of Jun 2020, it had 70% market share based on its clients average AUM (AAUM). It services four of the five largest mutual funds, as well as nine of the 15 largest mutual funds based on AAUM.

Its revenue is linked to its clients AUM and hence, it has been able to ride on the overall growth in the industry, as it services some of the biggest Indian mutual funds. However, the fees that it charges appear to be under pressure and hence, its top-line growth has been lagging its AAUM growth. Having said that, the company has a quasi-monopoly status, as it has been increasing its already high market share. It also has long relationships with its clients and is an asset light business.
