Asset management firm State Street invests $65 million in Groww AMC



Global asset manager State Street Investment Management has invested $65 million (about Rs 580 crore) in Groww Asset Management Company (AMC).

State Street may end up with a stake of as much as 23% in Groww AMC, depending on the final mix of primary and secondary share purchases and the resulting dilution.

The investment is aimed at building global investment capabilities and products for Indian investors, while also allowing Groww to explore opportunities outside the country.

The strategic investment by State Street comes at a time when Indian retail participation across asset classes is widening, and global fund managers are increasingly looking for local partners with large digital distribution platforms.

This also marks an instance of a large global fund manager taking a direct bet on an Indian wealthtech platform’s AMC business.

Last month, Jio Financial and global asset management firm BlackRock together infused Rs 229 crore into their joint venture, Jio BlackRock Asset Management.
