Today, shares of Advik Capital Ltd were locked in a 5 per cent to Rs 2.58 per share from its previous closing of Rs 2.46. The stock’s 52-week high is Rs 4.35 and its 52-week low is Rs 1.90.

Advik Capital, a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) with a total assets of Rs 200 crore, is aiming to achieve the status of a Systematically Important Non-Banking Financial Company (SIB-NBFC) by 2025. To achieve this, the company is executing a comprehensive expansion strategy that includes enlarging its business offerings, exploring new-age sectors like healthcare, and strategically evaluating existing lines to improve overall performance. The company is also infusing additional resources to strengthen its operations and attract industry veterans with expertise in risk, operations, governance and technology.

Advik Capital is making strategic moves to solidify its position in the evolving financial landscape. Obtaining SIB-NBFC status, with its Rs 500 crore minimum asset requirement, will not only strengthen its market position but also allow it to offer more complex financial products. This, combined with their recent launch of a Rs 250 crore Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) focused on new-age sectors and their ARC acquisition, positions them to capitalize on India's growing AIF and ARC markets. Furthermore, recognition as a Systemically Important NBFC by the Reserve Bank of India would solidify its role as a key player in maintaining financial stability and grant it access to participate in specialized market segments.
