What Approval Was Received?
Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Limited (MOAMC), a material wholly-owned subsidiary of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited, has received a formal Letter of Appointment from the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). This regulatory clearance designates MOAMC as a Sponsor of a Pension Fund, authorizing the firm to manage assets within the National Pension System (NPS).

By entering the NPS ecosystem, the company gains a foothold in India's rapidly growing long-term retirement planning sector. The mandate authorizes MOAMC to establish a separate pension fund company that will act as a specialized investment manager, overseeing subscriber contributions and managing pension assets in accordance with the regulatory framework of the PFRDA Act, 2013.

- Finalize operational arrangements with designated custodians and intermediaries
- Operationalize the new pension fund entity for full-scale subscriber management
- Implement high-conviction, research-driven investment strategies for pension assets
Business Overview
Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company was incorporated in November 2008 and is currently registered with SEBI as the investment manager for Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund. The firm brings over three decades of equity market legacy from the parent group to the retirement space. MOAMC already manages a diverse portfolio across Mutual Funds, Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), and Portfolio Management Services (PMS).
This new NPS mandate leverages the firm's established fund management team and research infrastructure to serve the evolving needs of Indian investors shifting toward long-term financial security.
Management Perspective
As India’s financial ecosystem evolves, the need for disciplined, long-term retirement investment and planning is becoming critical for long-term financial security. As Indians shift their financial habits moving from a saver to an investor mindset, NPS inflows have also been growing steadily.
“Through our entry into India’s NPS ecosystem, we aim to bring a research-driven, high-conviction, and long-term investment approach, focused on delivering consistent performance for investors to build sustainable retirement wealth.”
