BACKGROUND

 

The Company was incorporated on 12th March 2001 as a Company under the Companies Act, 1956. The Company obtained a license from the InsuranceRegulatory and Development Authority (“IRDA”) for carrying on the business of life insurance on 3rd August 2001. The registration certificate granted by IRDA is valid and the same has been renewed for the year 2013-2014. The Company has a wide range of products in traditional and unit-linked insurance business.

 

 

THE LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY

 

The Life Insurance industry has been going through a phase of slow growth in the last few years as the share of financial savings of GDP fell sharply, low-risk alternatives like bank deposits became more attractive and the impact of changes in unit-linked product regulations in September 2010 caused insurers to reorient their product mix and distribution channels.

 

During FY 12-13, the life insurance industry had a new business de growth of 6.3% as against a de growth of 9.2% in FY 12. The 24 life insurers have mobilized a first year premium of Rs 1070.1 billion in FY 13 as compared to Rs 1142.3 billion in the previous year. Group premium (single and non single) has contributed to 42.0% of overall new business in FY 13 (43.5% in FY 12).

 

During the year, the industry also witnessed significant increase in benefit payments mainly due to surrender payments under unitlinked policies issued before the new linked guidelines and which completed the mandatory three year lock-in. Insurers are realising the need to focus on long-term drivers of the business such as improving

persistency of policies, increasing the quality and productivity of agents, rationalising the cost structure and, most importantly, educating customers that life insurance is a long-term product.

 

Towards the end of FY 13, IRDA announced a host of regulations revamping areas like product design, health insurance, places of business, reinsurance etc. The regulations related to product design are the ones likely to have the highest impact on the industry as it gears up to streamline implementation. Insurers are still trying to adjust to the significant changes rolled out in 2010 for linked products and they will now have to undergo further significant reassessment of their business models. Many existing products have to be re-filed and the  cceptability of the new products by prospective policyholders and intermediaries will be known by the second half of FY 2014, when the new suite of products is rolled out by the insurers. New business growth in FY 14, is therefore likely to be subdued.

 

 

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

The company is at Fourth position amongst the private life insurers on the basis of new business premium for the financial year 2012-13.It wrote new business of Rs. 29.9 billion during financial year 2012-13 compared to Rs.  7.2 billion in the previous year, registering a 10% growth. The gross premium written for the financial year 2012-13 was Rs. 68.9 billion, as compared to Rs. 74.8 billion in the previous year, registering a 7.9% de growth. Within the private sector, the company’s market share of new business premium was 9.7% for 2012-13, as compared to 8.3% in the year 2011-12.

 

Unit linked premiums contributed 18.9% of the company’s new business premiums in 2012-13, compared to 31.0% in the previous year. Traditional individual premiums constituted 36.0% of overall new business premiums in financial year 2012-13 as compared to 44.3% in financial year 2011-12.

 

The company earned a profit in the Policyholders’ account, of Rs. 8.6 billion during 2012-13, as compared to a profit of Rs. 10.1 billion in the previous year. After the distribution of current year’s surplus of Rs. 8.3 billion (Previous Year Rs.9.8 billion) further transfer of Rs. 0.85 billion (Previous Year Rs. 0.90 billion) from Funds for Future Appropriation and the investment income from shareholders’ funds, the shareholders’ profit after tax was Rs. 12.8 billion (Previous Year Rs. 13.1 billion). The company has accumulated profits included under Reserves and Surplus, of Rs. 36.4 billion as at 31st March 2013.

 

 

INVESTMENTS:

 

The funds under management as on 31st March 2013 were Rs. 380.0 billion which included shareholder investments of Rs. 46.9 billion, traditional policyholder investments of Rs. 87.7 billion and unit Linked investments of Rs. 245.0 billion and Discontinued Funds Investments of Rs. 0.5 billion. A decline in the total unit linked funds

of the company has resulted in a reduction in the total investments under management of the company by 3.6% from Rs. 394.3 billion in the previous year, which was due to the Unit linked surrenders and decline in Unit linked investment.

 

The company adopted a relatively conservative investment philosophy focusing on asset allocation and investments in stocks with strong balance sheets and high levels of corporate governance. The non unit linked portfolios were managed within the framework of regulatory asset allocation requirements. Global turmoil coupled

with deterioration in the domestic macroeconomic variables resulted in volatility in the markets on both the fixed income and equity segments in the year. Interest rates declined over the later part of the year and the company’s cash funds and bond funds delivered healthy returns. The company’s diversified equity funds have

delivered returns that are comparable to the returns on the S&P CNX Nifty 50 index.

GILT YIELDS COULD DROP TO 7% IN THE NEXT ONE YEAR: SAMPATH REDDY, BAJAJ ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE

 

Jun 3, 2013,

As interest rates drop and the outlook for the markets turns positive, it would be beneficial to invest in equities before valuations soar, says Sampath Reddy, CIO, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance in a conversation with ET.

 

What are your thoughts on the ongoing earnings season?

 

There is no major change of trend in terms of earnings till now. The same few sectors are doing well this time around too. Private banks, for instance, continue to exhibit growth, while PSU banks continue to show weakness. The FMCG and pharma set have also done reasonably well again while capital goods, engineering, power, etc, continue to suffer.

 

However, I expect this trend to change in the future, and a turnaround in these sectors will be a key trend to watch out for. For the stressed sectors, the downward trajectory in interest rates is important as it could change the business dynamics as well as bring down interest costs. Telecom is another sector that is bottoming out in terms of earnings.

 

Have we seen the last of earnings downgrades?

 

I think the downgrade cycle is definitely over. The issue now is, when we will see the upgrades, which appears to be a challenge. I expect earnings upgrades a couple of quarters down the line. This would be the key trigger that would drive stock performance over the coming years.

 

What are your expectations on the reforms front?

 

The election schedule across states leading up to the general elections is very tight, so we may not see much going through in terms of continuation of the reforms process. Whatever is already done till now will continue, such as the fuel price increases. Incremental reforms in the form of correcting subsidies or improving the health of state electricity boards might happen, but no big-bang reforms seem likely.

 

Are you going to deploy cash aggressively in your portfolio?

 

We are not holding a lot of cash as we are positive on the outlook for the markets. If not for the recent sharp rally, we would have been fully invested, but going forward, we will cut cash levels further. I believe that we are moving towards an up-cycle and the coming 3-4 years are likely to be rewarding for the equity markets.

 

So, it's a good idea to be fully invested. Are you comfortable shifting away from defensive bets to more aggressive ones? Yes, I think we definitely need to do it. We have started shifting our portfolios but only in a small way now. The intention is to take it one step at a time and make a gradual shift in our holdings.

 

Since defensives continue to outperform, the allocation has also been on the higher side. However, a delay in the shift cannot be avoided anymore and would be at the peril of buying at a much higher price later on.

 

Which are the sectors you favour now?

 

We are overweight on defensives, but with the appreciation in the stock prices we are no longer bullish. We are incrementally positive on capital goods, metals, etc, where newsflow continues to be disappointing. These entities are still bleeding, with the environment not being conducive. In my opinion, the worst would be largely behind for these companies and the outlook could only improve from here on. Valuations are also supportive with many companies trading at multi-year lows.

NEXT 3-6 MONTHS WILL BE A CHALLENGING TIME FOR INDIA: SAMPATH REDDY, CIO, BAJAJ ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE

 

April 23, 2012,

ET Now: Globally, the growth scare is back. None of the Q4 earnings have been above estimates. Given the way global liquidity has moved in last 10-15 days, do you think that in the near term Indian markets could correct further?

 

Sampath Reddy: I agree. Global growth concerns are coming back and yields on European bonds are rising again.

 

Spanish government bond yields are pretty much close to all-time highs. So, liquidity concerns are coming back. The LTROs that happened December and February have helped Jan-Feb-March months for us in the sense that a good amount of liquidity was injected. So, about $9 billion came in those first three months of the calendar year predominantly led by LTRO and other liquidity actions by central bankers.

 

But after that, there has been a significant slowdown in terms of FII flows and GAAR is also adding to the confusion. So FII flows will continue to be weak not only due to global liquidity but also due to local issues.

 

Most countries are either suffering from tight liquidity or poor growth. That will certainly have an impact on the Indian markets as well. The next three to six months are really going to be challenging for India. The markets will see a decent amount of correction and good opportunity for investors in the Indian stock market.

 

ET Now: How have you read on the news out on Infosys? Now that the company has come under the scanner of the US home loan security as well, the stock has taken a huge knock of about 4%. How damaging could this be in the medium to long term?

 

Sampath Reddy: Infosys has been doing business with US companies for so many years successfully. I am sure they will be able to sort out this particular issue very soon.

 

But that growth itself has come down significantly is a cause of concern to IT companies; a 10% to 12% volume growth is going to be the norm for the next two to three years. One positive thing for IT companies or for Infosys is that in the next two to three years, currency could be a good driver of growth in earnings for these companies.

 

In the last seven to eight years, the currency effect on most IT companies' earnings has been pretty much nil. Broadly, the rupee was in the 48-49 range. Since then, there has not been much of a depreciation in our currency. Going forward, the rupee could depreciate a little bit faster than what it has done in the last seven or eight years. This will drive the earnings growth for IT companies. From a three- to five-year perspective, IT companies will have about 10% to 12% of volume growth.

 

The currency effect will add another 5% to earnings growth. So, these companies should be able to do 15% of earnings growth in the next three to four years. From that perspective, Infosys is also looking good at these levels.

 

ET Now: So at the current juncture, are you sitting on cash or are you fully invested? If you have been fully invested in last three months, have you been in a buy or a sell mode?

 

Sampath Reddy: In the last one year, we have had around 27%-28% cash level when the index was closer to the 20,000 levels. Subsequently, we brought down the level, and right now we are around 12% to 13%.

 

At any given point of time, generally, we are maintain at least a 10% cash level. So, from the perspective of our historical average, we are pretty much fully invested.

 

We did have a good amount of investments done in the month of December. But, in the last couple of months, we were pretty much away from the market and were neither a net buyer nor a net seller. In next three to six months, we will get a good opportunity to deploy our surplus cash as well. So we look to do that in the next two to three months.

 

ET Now: What about defensives, in particular the entire pharma pack?

 

Sampath Reddy: Last financial year, we were big on FMCG and pharmaceutical names. Given that they have already done very well in relation to other sectors, we do not have a big call on defensives as yet.

 

We have not cut down our positions, but our incremental purchases would not be in the defensives. Overall, our relative weighting of these two sectors will only come down in three to six months. These sectors have done very well and have been overweight in our portfolios.

 

So, we may bring them closer to the market levels as we move into the financial year fully. I would think our incremental purchases would be more on the manufacturing and cyclical sectors.
