PNR ASSOCIATES PRIVATE LIMITED

What PNR ASSOCIATES PRIVATE LIMITED does

PNR Associates Private Limited (DBA: PNR Associates / PNR WEALTH) is a boutique financial advisory and mutual fund distribution firm headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, founded in 2017 by Mr. PRK Nagaraju, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) accredited by the Financial Planning Standards Board with over three decades of experience in managing financial instruments. The firm serves individual investors and families, with a secondary focus on Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), offering personalized, need-based financial planning rather than product-pushed sales. Its core product set spans AMFI-registered mutual fund distribution (ARN No. 62001), loan distribution (home, personal, auto, loan-against-property), and goal-based advisory services covering child education, wealth creation, retirement, and succession/estate planning. The firm is SEBI-compliant and has opted out of transaction charges per the relevant SEBI circular.

Underlying the practice is a web-based platform at pnrfp.com that hosts interactive financial calculators (SIP Return, Retirement, PPF, EMI, Goal Setting, Networth, Human Life Value, Compound), six goal planners (Dream Home, Wealth Creation, Retirement, Child's Education, Child's Wedding, Emergency), and mutual fund research/screening tools (trailing returns, quartile ranking, rolling returns versus benchmark/gold/Sensex, SIP with annual increase, STP/SWP calculators). Distribution is direct: face-to-face advisory at the Hyderabad office combined with self-serve access via the website. Revenue is generated primarily through mutual fund trail commissions (ranging from 0.05% on debt/index schemes to 1.60% on equity schemes) and ancillary loan referral economics, with no public disclosure of fees for advisory, retirement, or succession planning services. The firm operates with no institutional investors, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no headcount data, functioning as a founder-led, bootstrapped advisory practice.
