Mr. T. S. Ramakrishnan,
How do you plan to increase AUM in LICMF?
We have charted out a 5-year rolling plan. We endeavour to take our AUM to ₹50,000 crore by 2025-26. We plan to achieve this with a combination of organic and inorganic growth. Sustainable and profitable growth is our objective. We will focus on our debt funds to build the volume while equity funds to strengthen the investor base and sustainability. Additionally, we aim to penetrate Tier 2, 3 and beyond cities to reach masses.
do you plan to launch any new schemes? What is the process that you follow before launching any portfolio?
Yes, indeed. In September 2021 we launched our NFO on Balanced Advantage Fund and were successful in raising over ₹1200 crore. We would like to continue this momentum in 2022 as well. As a responsible fund house all our NFOs shall be launched with a single objective of offering right product to our investors at an appropriate time. We do consider investor preferences, suitability, market trends and our readiness before launching any fund. We have now launched Money Market Fund (Debt Scheme) and planning to launch Multi-cap Fund (Equity Scheme) soon. We are also planning a couple of thematic strategies for the Financial Year 2022-23.
After two years of spectacular return by equity mutual funds the first half of 2022 did not start on a good note? How do you see it panning out for the rest of the year?

NEW INVESTMENT PRODUCT CATEGORY IS SEBI'S LATEST MOVE COMMENDABLE?
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a consultation paper proposing a new investment product category aimed at addressing a specific market need. This proposed asset class would offer investment options that sit between mutual funds (MFS) and PMS, filling a gap and providing greater flexibility in portfolio management. The new investment vehicle is designed for investors who are prepared to take on riskier market positions but find PMS schemes or AIFs out of reach. SEBI after reviewing the feedback and finalizing the regulations through stakeholder discussions, may issue the final regulations.

THE IMMINENT MIDDLE EAST WAR
Recent intelligence from a variety of sources points to an Israeli war against Hezbollah, which is an Iranian proxy. Hezbollah is systematically attacking Israeli bases, radars, intelligence-collections facilities and other defense system components. Now the attacks are spreading to include Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Galilee. You’re just not hearing about it in the mainstream media. These attacks have three effects: They break down Israeli military and intelligence systems, terrorize the civilian population and handicap Israel’s ability to conduct air attacks on Syria or Lebanon. James Rickards points out why all these are imminent.
