Conclusion:
Non-life insurance is one of the most intensely competitive industries with 18 companies including General Insurance Company Nepal Limited (GICNL). Out of the total insurance company in the market, General Insurance covers 2.08% (as of FY 2076/2077) market share in terms of Premium collection. This shows that the company is still in a nascent phase and has yet to go a long way to have a strong market position. However, the company with only 2 years of history has already achieved a 2.08% market share which has shown that the management has focused on its expansion plan and the ability to tap into the market and showing the company’s presence.
Also, when we observe the financial projection of the company, the company will be focusing on expanding the customer base of the company which is crucial for the company’s future. However, this will depend on the management’s ability.
So, what is your view on the whole Non-life insurance industry and General Insurance Company Nepal Limited in particular? Will you be applying for the issue of will you pass?
How much to apply?
General Insurance is issuing 3,000,000 units shares where after the allocation of 4% and 5% to staff and mutual fund respectively, 2,730,000 units shares are available to the general public.
If we see the current trend of IPO in the market and Reliance Life Insurance Limited (RLI) in particular which issued its IPO recently, a total of 5,89,464 applicants applied for the issue oversubscribing by 4.04 times and we assume that the same or even more craze prevails in General Insurance Company Limited’s IPO too. Since 10 kitta rule exists for IPO; 273,000 applicants will be lucky enough to get 10 shares of General Insurance Company Nepal Limited.
To sum up, if the same number of applicants (or more) who applied for Reliance Life Insurance’s IPO apply for this issue then there is a high probability of allotment is done through a lottery for 10 units. So, it is advisable to apply 10 units in the IPO issue of General Insurance Company Nepal Limited.
