Whether you are a retail or institutional customer, the first thing you want to know is how well we manage your money? Everyone has two basic expectations - Safety and Returns. Both are opposite goals, but we work hard to achieve both in a balanced way. Your money can be safe if –
- We choose our investments carefully
- Watch their performance regularly
- Take corrective action when needed
We have an institutional policy within the regulations of IRDAI, which is mandated by the Board monitored by Investment Committee and delivered by the team. This is the framework in which we operate. This framework is tight as well as practical enough to allow room for judgmental exceptions which are not taken just by one individual but by the whole team involving the CEO, CFO, CIO and the Appointed Actuary.
Rest assured, our professional Fund Managers, who are experts in the equity and fixed income markets, will take utmost care of your returns.
EQUITY INVESTMENT STRATEGY
For equity investment we follow both - a top down and a bottom up approach. Looking top down and bottom up we define our investment universe which is a broad basket of stocks we can invest in. Actual stock selection is primarily driven by fundamental analysis.
Once we identify a good stock, we look at analytical and technical factors to see what is the right time to buy or to book profits. Based on technical factors we switch stocks and sectors to enter or reenter the market. We also constantly review our strategies and actively engage in script management. We strive for not only outperforming the benchmark indices but also to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns as compared to peer group over a medium to long term horizon.
FIXED INCOME INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In a fixed income portfolio, our primary concerns are the safety of investments and consistency of returns. This is why we invest in companies with high credit quality and a track record of good corporate governance. This ensures that the long-term investments are safe while their returns are consistent.
Once we achieve this, we try to improve the returns in our debt portfolio by suitably tuning the portfolio duration. This is based on the expected interest rate movements in the market.
Over time, we try to deliver superior returns as compared to a bank deposit or a typical bond fund in the market. We don’t merely aim to be content with good returns but strive to stay superior at a risk-adjusted level.

Our way of valuing equity shares is as prescribed by Insurance and Regulatory Development Authority of India (IRDAI) through its circular number IRDA/F&I/INV/CIR/213/10/2013 dated October 30, 2013. It has mandated insurers to select either NSE or BSE as the primary and secondary exchange for valuation of its equity shares.
We have selected NSE as the primary and BSE as the secondary exchange. Accordingly, the equity shares held by us are valued at the closing price of NSE. In case a security is not listed or traded on NSE, we use the closing price of BSE.
