NARROW (CAPPED)Regulated-led

First-pass narrow (capped) read — primary edge in Network Effects. Provisional, single-pass evidence.

Provisional score · subject to modification based on new evidence

Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd. scores **5.51** on MoatSCORE 6.0 — a narrow (capped) moat in Broking. This is a **first-pass note**: the dimensional read and the filing receipts below come from a single GFIP evidence pass, not the full two-pass deep corpus behind our flagship deep dives. Provisional — published free while the deep version is queued.

The teardown 

## Seven dimensions of moat

Ordered by contribution. Each dimension carries a verified filing quote, graded **\[M\]** mechanism or **\[O\]** outcome.

D1Network Effects6.5

M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim

“We added net 21 Relationship Managers, taking the total RM strength to 401 as of 31 March 2026, with regret RM attrition again contained below 2%.”

**Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd.** · Annual Report · p.8

D5Intangible Assets6

M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim

“Today, nearly 11,000 families entrust us with their private wealth—a testament to the trust we've earned.”

**Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd.** · Annual Report · p.3

D2Switching Costs5.7

M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim

“Client attrition rate in terms of AUM lost for Q1 FY27 was 0.09%.”

**Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd.** · Earnings Call · p.3

D3Cost Advantage5.7

M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim

“Mr. Oza, can it go up? The answer is yes. Like you rightly pointed out, several costs are variable and the fixed cost gets amortized over a larger revenue, that could definitely give us operating leverage.”

**Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd.** · Earnings Call · p.11

D6Efficient Scale5.7

M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim

“For H1 FY '26, our market share in equity mutual funds net inflows stood at 2.33% in the category 3 of AMFI's publishing numbers.”

**Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd.** · Earnings Call · p.3

D4Price Discretion4.5

M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim

“Being a trust-driven, relationship-intensive business, any instance of mis-selling, conflict of interest, or unsuitable product recommendation can severely impact client retention and brand equity.”

**Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd.** · Annual Report · p.30

D7Counter-PositioningExcluded—

Excluded for this archetype.

D8Ungoverned RiskUnscored · Layer 2.5

D8 rating: **ADEQUATE**. Not part of the moat score — it governs the cost of equity and the fade window. First-pass; not yet deep-reviewed.

The barrier gate 

## The barrier gate — first-pass

Replication — can a rival copy it?6.5

How hard it is for a rival to copy the edge (first-pass estimate).

Bypass — can a rival route around it?6.0

How easily a rival can route around the edge (first-pass estimate).

Effective barrier 6 — at or above 6, consistent with a narrow (capped) read. First-pass estimate.

What would change our mind

1. **Deep two-pass review.** This draft rests on a single GFIP evidence pass; the full 10-year AR + concall corpus may move the read.
2. **The barrier gate.** A firmer replication or bypass estimate is the most likely thing to shift the band.
3. **Adverse events.** Any governance, regulatory or funding shock captured in D8 could re-rate the fade window.

First-pass note — provisional single-pass MoatSCORE 6.0 read, not the full deep dive. Educational research, not investment advice; no buy/sell recommendation, no price target. Moat & Margin is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst or Investment Adviser.

**Where this note fits.** This company is one of **509 Indian companies** we have scored for moat durability — 370 narrow, 126 narrow-trending-wide, none wide. Every score, dimension by dimension, is free in the [Moat Screener](https://www.moatmarginresearch.com/moat-screener/).
