The company, founded by renowned money manager Prashant Khemka, had received Sebi’s nod for registration of GPL Finance as a sponsor and change in control of YES Asset Management and YES Trustee Limited to GPL Finance back in September.
“We welcome the YES Asset Management team and their investors as well as channel partners into the White Oak family. Together with them, we are excited to further build upon the foundation laid by all of us till date,” said Khemka.
We are excited about offering our investment expertise to retail investors across the country and we aim to launch a range of funds post necessary regulatory approvals and subsequent launch through the first half of CY2022, he added.
Prashant Kumar, Managing Director & CEO, YES Bank, said, the move, aligned with the bank’s sustained efforts to enhance value creation for all our stakeholders, will lead to significant gains for both companies and, more importantly, our customers.
“With this transaction, the bank remains committed to re-channelizing resources as part of our overall strategy to drive growth and innovation in our offerings.”
