IIFL AMC's assets under management hits Rs 50,000 cr milestone

IIFL Asset Management (IIFL AMC), one of India's largest players in the alternatives' segment, announced on Thursday that its asset base has crossed Rs 50,000 crore-mark.

The fund house's aggregate assets under management (AUM) comprising alternative assets and mutual Fund (MF) rose to Rs 50,019 crore from Rs 37,372 on March 31, FY21, IIFL AMC stated in a release. While the one-year absolute growth in AUM was 87 per cent, the three-year absolute growth was 212 per cent.

The growth in AUM has been achieved mainly on the back of increased inflows into the listed and unlisted funds besides rising traction on Long Short, Real Estate and Credit funds.
