Acquisition

Sundaram Finance (SFL) announced its board has approved the acquisition of 100% stake in Capitalgate Investment Advisors (CGIA) by its subsidiary, Sundaram Alternate Assets (SAAL). The ₹35 crore deal aims to bolster SAAL's fund management and research with CGIA's credit research and AI engine for real-time insights.

While a significant move for SAAL (deal value is over 2.8x its FY25 turnover of ₹12.37 crore), CGIA reported modest FY25 revenue of 0.22 crore and PAT of 0.10 crore.

This acquisition strategically leverages AI for future growth and investor value.
