Wealth First Portfolio Managers Limited has announced the strategic acquisition of a 51% stake in Wealth First Advisors Private Limited (WFAPL) for a total consideration of ₹52.1 crore. This acquisition is set to be completed in two phases.
Phase I, expected on or before December 2026, involves acquiring 51% of WFAPL for ₹52.1 crore. This amount will be funded through a mix of internal accruals and/or share swaps. Specifically, ₹40 crore will be paid in cash, and the remaining ₹12.1 crore will be settled via share swap.
Phase II, planned for FY30, will involve acquiring the remaining 49% stake. The consideration for this phase will be determined by a valuation report based on the target company's financial parameters at that time and will be settled entirely through a share swap.
