Commenting on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on its business, HDFC AMC said that it has assessed the impact of the pandemic on its operations and its assets including the value of its investments and trade receivables as at March 31, 2020. The management does not, at this juncture, believe that the impact on the value of the Company's assets is likely to be material.
However, since the revenue of the company is ultimately dependent on the value of the assets it manages, changes in market conditions and the trend of flows into mutual funds may have an impact on the operations of the company. Since the situation is rapidly evolving, its effect on the operations of the company may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results.
The company will continue to closely monitor material changes in markets and future economic conditions, the asset management firm said.
