Capri Global Capital reported a 62% year-on-year rise in Assets Under Management (AUM) for the first quarter of FY27. This growth was led by a strong expansion in its gold loan, housing finance, and construction finance portfolios. The performance highlights the company's focus on scaling its lending operations across these specific segments.
Capri Global Capital (CGCL) reported significant growth in its business scale during the first quarter of the 2027 financial year. The company’s total Assets Under Management (AUM)—which represents the total market value of all the financial assets that a company manages on behalf of its clients—increased by 62% compared to the same period last year. This expansion was driven by consistent demand across its three primary lending verticals.
Segment Performance and Portfolio Expansion
The gold loan segment emerged as a primary growth driver, with its AUM reaching INR 191.8 billion. This represents a substantial year-on-year increase of over 110%. The company’s housing finance and construction finance businesses also maintained strong momentum, recording year-on-year growth rates of 42.3% and 40.1% respectively. These segments collectively hold a significant share of the total AUM, with housing finance at INR 78.2 billion and construction finance at INR 63.3 billion. The quarter-on-quarter performance also showed steady progress, with construction finance leading the quarterly growth at 10.9%.
Financial Context and Market Valuation
Following these results, the company’s outlook for Net Interest Income (NII) remains a key area of focus for market participants. NII is the difference between the interest income a bank or finance company earns from its loans and the interest it pays to its depositors or lenders. The brokerage firm Choice Institutional Equities recently revised its profit after tax estimates for FY27 and FY28 by 1.1% and 3.5% respectively, reflecting expectations for continued AUM growth. Projections suggest the total AUM could reach INR 648.6 billion by the end of FY28.
Investors monitoring the company may consider that Capri Global Capital operates in competitive lending segments. Gold loans are often influenced by fluctuations in gold prices and regulatory guidelines set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Similarly, housing and construction finance are sensitive to interest rate cycles and the broader health of the real estate sector. The company’s ability to maintain its profit margins while scaling its loan book will depend on its capacity to manage borrowing costs and control credit risks as it grows. The next important monitorables for shareholders include the consistency of asset quality, changes in the cost of funds, and the company's ability to maintain these growth rates in a changing interest rate environment.
