SEBI approves State Street Global
Advisors' stake acquisition in Groww AMC
Markets regulator SEBI has approved US-based State
Street Global Advisors' proposed stake acquisition in Groww Asset Management, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Billionbrains Garage Ventures, the investment
platform said on Monday.
Following the proposed transaction, SSGA will
acquire shares in Groww AMC and, upon completion of the deal, will hold voting
rights of 4.85 per cent and an economic interest of 22.94 per cent in the fully
diluted share capital of the asset manager.
The development follows earlier approvals from the
company's board and the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for the proposed
transaction.
"Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
has, vide its communication dated June 1, 2026, taken on record the proposed
change in shareholding of Groww AMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company,
pursuant to the proposed transaction, without any change in control of Groww
AMC," Billionbrains Garage Ventures said in a filing to the stock
exchanges.
The company had earlier informed stock exchanges
about the board's approval for the transaction on January 14 and the
Competition Commission's approval on March 26.
Groww AMC manages mutual fund schemes under the
Groww brand and is part of the fintech group operated by Billionbrains Garage
Ventures.
