Low penetration, high profitability, a well-diversified suite of products, a strong distribution network, and strong financials make HDFC AMC a preferred choice for investors. HDFC AMC is only the second listing by an asset management company, after Reliance Nippon Asset Management got listed in November 2017. 65288765 65288077 65287118
