360 ONE WAM has entered an exclusive strategic collaboration with UBS AG, one of the world's largest wealth managers, to offer combined onshore and offshore wealth management solutions to Indian and global clients. Separately, 360 ONE will acquire UBS's India wealth business (stock broking, distribution, and portfolio management services) through its subsidiaries on a slump sale basis for a net consideration of Rs 307 crores. The acquired business has active AUM of about Rs 26,000 crores as of December 31, 2024. As part of the deal, 360 ONE will issue 2,05,02,939 convertible warrants to UBS AG at Rs 1,030 per warrant (a 14% premium to the 3-day VWAP), giving UBS a 4.95% stake in 360 ONE on conversion within 18 months. The total warrant consideration is about Rs 2,112 crores. The collaboration will also explore opportunities in asset management products and investment banking. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals from CCI, SEBI, and NSE, and is expected to close in about 6 months.
This is a positive, growth-oriented deal that significantly expands 360 ONE's wealth management footprint by adding Rs 26,000 crores of AUM and gives it access to UBS's global client base. While the 4.95% dilution to existing shareholders may cause some near-term concern, the partnership with a marquee global player like UBS and the strong AUM accretion should support long-term value creation.
