The AMC will complement YES Securities brokerage business which has now stabilized its operations and is rapidly growing its business footprint. The AMC will also complement the Bank's retail strategy and help in leveraging existing infrastructure to provide the necessary retail thrust. This will allow the bank to build a holistic wealth management proposition for its customers and enable the Bank to strengthen traction witnessed in building retail market share on the back of its Savings Account proposition.
