360 ONE WAM shares rise over 2% after appointing Jefferies India Head and MD as new CEO. , ETMarkets.com Last Updated: Sep 23, 2026, 09:24:00 AM IST 360 ONE WAM appoints Jefferies India Country Head Aashish Agarwal as Group CEO, with founders Karan Bhagat and Yatin Shah taking focused leadership roles across strategy and wealth management. Shares of 360 ONE WAM gained more than 2% to Rs 1,096 on the BSE on Wednesday after the company appointed Jefferies' Country Head and Managing Director Aashish Agarwal as Chief Executive Officer. Agarwal will work alongside the firm's founders to further grow and strengthen the business. Agarwal joins 360 ONE from Jefferies, where he has served as Managing Director and Country Head since April 2020 and has grown the India franchise over the past six years. Before joining Jefferies, Agarwal spent 13 years at CLSA, where he was later Executive Director and Head of Research. He began his career at Merrill Lynch, where he worked from 2004 to 2007. Agarwal is a Chartered Accountant and a postgraduate of SPJIMR, Mumbai. * 360 one wam.

Karan and Yatin have built an exceptional franchise over 18 years, and I look forward to working closely with them to build an Indian financial institution of enduring scale and global standing," Agarwal said. "India's wealth creation story is still early, and as clients and family offices grow more sophisticated, their needs increasingly span investing, capital raising and strategic advice. Bringing Wealth Management, Asset Management and Capital Markets together allows us to serve those needs end to end, as one Group," he added. Further, Karan Bhagat, currently Managing Director and CEO, will become Vice Chairman while continuing as Managing Director of the Group. In his new role, Bhagat will drive group strategy, capital allocation and key client and institutional relationships. Yatin Shah, Co-Founder of 360 ONE, will continue to lead the company's wealth management business, which has been a focus of the firm for the past decade. The new leadership structure is aimed at building across 360 ONE's three verticals: Wealth Management, Asset Management and Capital Markets. The company said the structure is designed to bring its full ecosystem to clients, with the Group's combined capabilities working together for families and institutions through a single platform. 360 ONE said the structure also positions it to build for the scale it expects India's next phase of growth to require. The company said that as the Indian economy progresses towards a USD 5 trillion economy and, over time, a USD 15 trillion economy, the growth will require large and sophisticated domestic financial institutions. 360 ONE said it intends to lead this shift as an Indian institution serving the country's sophisticated capital allocators. Commenting on the appointment, Bhagat said the new structure would allow each of the three businesses to operate with sharper focus while remaining one Group. He said the company had built 360 ONE into a trusted partner for India's wealth creators over the past 18 years and described Agarwal as bringing financial services depth and an owner's mindset to building businesses.

Coforge Chairman's resignation not A red flag, says CLSA; retains bullish stance - check target price. CLSA remains focused on the company's operating outlook, particularly the potential for revenue synergies from its Encora acquisition. Read Time: 2 mins Coforge's chairman resignation may have triggered a sharp reaction in the stock yesterday, but CLSA does not view the development as a major governance red flag, retaining its High Conviction Outperform rating and a target price of Rs 2,170, implying about 11% upside from the levels cited in its report. Coforge Chairman and Non-Executive Independent Director OP Bhatt resigned with immediate effect on September 8, after an internal audit raised concerns over the handling and disclosure of information in the company's board evaluation report. Coforge subsequently clarified that the issues related to the board evaluation exercise and did not involve financial statements, financial reporting or the company's business operations. It also said the matter had no bearing on its near-, medium- or long-term business guidance. CLSA's assessment pointed to Coforge's governance framework and the increase in the proportion of independent directors since FY24. It also noted that the company's books are subject to scrutiny from its current and previous private-equity investors, as well as KPMG, its internal auditor, according to the report. The brokerage also highlighted what it described as a proactive exchange filing by Coforge management following the resignation and said it had seen no major governance lapses relating to financial reporting or business operations. The development comes shortly after shareholders rejected Bhatt's proposed reappointment for another five-year term at Coforge's August annual general meeting. His existing term was originally due to expire in April 2027. Meanwhile, the market reaction has been sharper. Coforge shares fell as much as 8.67% to Rs 1,780.10 on September 9, before paring some losses. CLSA remains focused on the company's operating outlook, particularly the potential for revenue synergies from its Encora acquisition. Its estimates show revenue rising from Rs 16,238.3 crore in FY26 to Rs 24,549 crore in FY27, with net profit projected at Rs 2,672 crore.

Thailand Focus 2026 spotlights Thailand's potential to attract global investors. PUBLISHED: 24 Aug 2026 at 17:07 The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is well-prepared to host "Thailand Focus 2026: Reignite Thailand", with the highlight on the attractiveness of investment in Thailand. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Ekniti Nitithanprapas will preside over the opening ceremony, joined by Minister of Energy Akanat Promphan. Top executives from the business sector and capital market & money market, and senior executives of listed companies will present and provide information on investment opportunities and growth of Thai businesses, with strategic synergy to reinforce confidence among institutional investors worldwide. The event will take place from Aug 26-28, at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, Bangkok. SET President Asadej Kongsiri said the SET has continuously moved forward to present updated information on the potential of the Thai capital market to institutional investors. Year-to-date, the SET team has engaged with institutional investors across several key global investment hubs. Significantly, this year's Thailand Focus is considered a flagship event that welcomes institutional investors worldwide to listen to first-hand information from 78 Thai listed companies across all industry sectors, listed on both the SET and the MAI, as well as policy perspectives from the government and relevant stakeholders directly. On top of all these, the event will also serve as a forum where the government, capital market, listed companies, and institutional investors can have dialogues discussing issues, exchanging ideas, and building mutual understanding in terms of perspectives and contexts, leading to the development of policies as well as practical products and services that cater to investor demand worldwide. In addition, Thailand Focus 2026 will also be a stage to enhance the visibility and growth potential of market participants. Among the participating listed companies, 16 companies from the JUMP+ project will provide information on their three-year plans purposely set to increase business value, inclusive of plans for business operations, governance, and greenhouse gas (GHG) management. On the ASEAN front, the event will set up a stage for senior executives from six ASEAN stock exchanges (Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand), as well as ASEAN listed companies, to share information on the connectivity of capital for growth across the region. "The investment climate in the Thai stock market has recently been exceptionally well-performed, with the SET Index increasing by almost 30 percent since the beginning of the year, ranking fourth highest globally. This clearly reflects investor confidence, amid such supporting factors as continued foreign investment inflows, upgraded credit ratings for Thailand revised by leading global rating institutions, and clear direction of government economic policies focusing on long-term growth. Additionally, the Thai business sector remains fundamentally strong with resilience and adaptability potential. From challenges to opportunities, we can manage these amid the fast-changing global economic context and build competitive capabilities," said Mr Asadej. Thailand Focus 2026 event will be presided over by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Ekniti Nitithanprapas, who will deliver a keynote address at the opening ceremony, along with Minister of Energy Akanat Promphan, who will highlight the government's vision, strategies, and policy statements to drive the Thai economy. Moreover, senior executives from the business sector will share their perspectives and project Thailand's growth potential.
