SBI Funds Management IPO Opens July 14: Know Key Details

    Summary:

     

    SBI Funds Management has launched its IPO with a price band of ₹545-₹574 per share. The issue comprises an Offer for Sale of 20.37 crore shares, with SBI and Amundi selling a combined 10% stake. The IPO could also help Amundi realise nearly ₹4,400 crore from its partial stake sale.

    India's mutual fund industry is set to witness one of its biggest public issues as SBI Funds Management has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The company is India's largest asset management company (AMC) by quarterly average assets under management (QAAUM). It has maintained its leadership position since March 2021.

    The proposed IPO is significant not only because of the company's size but also because of its ownership structure. Backed by State Bank of India (SBI) and European asset management giant Amundi, the company has built one of the country's largest investment platforms. Together, SBI and Amundi currently hold around 98% of SBI Funds Management.

    The public issue will also provide partial exits to its promoter shareholders while bringing the country's largest fund house to the stock market.

    Details of the IPO

    The proposed IPO is entirely an Offer for Sale (OFS). There is no fresh issue of equity shares. As a result, SBI Funds Management will not receive any proceeds from the issue. Instead, the entire amount raised will go to the selling shareholders.

    The offer comprises an Offer for Sale (OFS) of up to 20.37 crore equity shares with a face value of ₹1 each. As part of the issue, State Bank of India (SBI) will sell 12.83 crore shares, representing a 6.3% stake. Additionally, Amundi India Holding will sell 7.54 crore shares, equivalent to a 3.7% stake.

    Since this is purely an OFS, the share sale will help the promoter shareholders partially monetise their investment, while the company will benefit from listing its shares on the stock exchanges.

    Structure of the IPO

    The IPO will follow the book-building process. Up to 50% of the offer has been reserved for Qualified Institutional Bidders (QIBs), while at least 15% has been allocated to Non-Institutional Bidders (NIBs). Retail Individual Bidders (RIBs) will receive not less than 35% of the total offer.

    Within the QIB category, the company may allocate up to 60% of the portion to anchor investors. A part of this anchor allocation has also been reserved for domestic mutual funds, life insurance companies and pension funds, subject to applicable regulations.

    What Makes This IPO Stand Out?

    One of the biggest highlights of the IPO is the value created for Amundi over the years.

    Amundi India Holding acquired its stake after taking over the holding of Société Générale in 2011. According to the DRHP, its weighted average cost of acquisition is just ₹4.35 per share. Based on the expected IPO valuation, the French asset manager is likely to realise close to ₹4,400 crore through the partial sale of its stake. This marks a sizeable return on an investment made nearly 15 years ago.

    Price Band, Lot Size and IPO Dates

    The company has fixed the IPO price band at ₹545 to ₹574 per share.

    The issue will open for subscription on July 14, 2026, and close on July 16, 2026. The anchor investor book will open on July 13, 2026. The basis of allotment is expected to be finalised on July 17, while refunds and credit of shares to demat accounts are scheduled for July 20.

    Accordingly, the company is expected to make its stock market debut on July 21, 2026.

    Utilisation of IPO Proceeds

    As the IPO is entirely an Offer for Sale, SBI Funds Management will not receive any proceeds from the issue. The entire amount raised will be received by the promoter selling shareholders, namely State Bank of India and Amundi India Holding.

    While the company will not raise fresh capital, the listing is expected to enhance its visibility, strengthen corporate governance standards and provide liquidity to existing shareholders.
