Wealth First Portfolio Managers' board approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, with an unmodified opinion from the auditor. For FY25, standalone business activity income grew nearly 40% to Rs. 5,755 lakhs, but trading activity swung to a Rs. 550 lakh loss, pulling total income down about 11% to Rs. 5,896 lakhs. Standalone net profit fell to Rs. 3,371 lakhs (from Rs. 4,238 lakhs), and Q4 alone posted a Rs. 427 lakh loss due to a one-time cyber fraud hit of Rs. 150.59 lakhs (net of recovery). The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 4 per share (40%) and appointed a new internal auditor. It also approved setting up two new wholly-owned subsidiaries — an Asset Management Company and a Trustee Company — to launch its own mutual fund, following SEBI's in-principle approval received on May 7, 2025.
Shareholders get a healthy Rs. 4 per share dividend, but FY25 profits dipped and Q4 slipped into a loss, largely because of the cyber fraud write-off and weak trading income — likely to weigh on near-term sentiment. However, the move into mutual fund business via two new subsidiaries is a strategic growth step that could expand revenue streams over time.
