Asset managers - Despite active equity flows registering a decline of 177% YoY to Rs (170) billion in Q2 FY21, strong recovery in equity markets (Nifty 50 up 9.2% in Q2) resulted in active equity asset under management growing 6.9%.

Brokers - Despite up-front requirement of cash margins kicking in from August 2020, Q2 FY21 cash average daily trading volumes have grown up 75.6/0.8% YoY/QoQ. We expect family owned smaller scale brokers to be most impacted.
