R Doraiswamy, MD & CEO, LIC
Life Insurance Corporation of India benefits from the volatility on the stock market and choosing shares that deliver the best return to policyholders and investors, a top official said.
“We have looked at the geopolitical tensions and problems from time to time and we remain an investor. We will continue to invest. We are also looking at the value proposition that is available at such moments and see that the markets are also arranged. But usually our focus is to ensure that our investments are safe and they offer the return for our policy property,” ” line.
Responding to a question whether the government expected LIC to play a specific role in stabilizing the stock markets in the light of Trump’s steep rates that cause volatility, he said: “I cannot immediately say that the government is asking us to do something or other.
“We look at the situation ourselves and based on the emerging economic situation, we buy to ensure that we get the return of the investment we have made. We look at the available opportunities and based on the opportunities, we act.”
In the first quarter of the FY26, the state administrator of the State significantly raised his share exposure to more than £ 25,000 crore, while his share portfolio by 10 percent consecutive rose to £ 16.84 Lakh Crore at the end of June, according to a Prabhudas Lilladher report, based on the stock exchange.
Doraiswamy said that the investment philosophy of the company was to buy at reasonable rates and hold it for a long period of time “so that we manage our assets and obligations as close as possible, and we are able to meet the expectations of the customer.”
Bullish about the financial sector
Lic was recently one of the largest subscribers of the £ 25,000 Crore QIP declaration of the State Bank of India, in which it invested £ 5,000 crore, which increased its interest in the bank to 9.5 percent.
Doraiswamy said that the financial sector was an important part of economic growth. “We are a financial institution, and we are sure that the financial sector must grow. India works by 2047 to Viksit Bharat. If that has to happen, industry must grow. If industry has to grow in the country, there must be support for support for industries.”
“There is a clear role to play by banks and other financial institutions. If you go back and see, we have been a promoter of many financial development institutions in the past,” he added.
LIC has a great importance in Idbi Bank, in which both the central government and the Corporation are planning to divest the importance.
Doraiswamy pointed out that LIC also gambles on other sectors. Stock Exchange archives show that it has made some new investments in companies such as Mazagon Dock, Siemens, Ireda and Firstsource Solutions.
