Conclusion:

Non-life insurance is one of the most intensely competitive industries with 18 companies including Sanima General Insurance Limited (SAICL). Out of the total insurance company in the market, Sanima General Insurance covers 1.48% (as of Bhadra, 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. The company currently provides its services from 18 branches, so, the company needs to focus on sustaining as well as gradually increasing its presence in the broader market.  

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 Sanima General Insurance Limited in particular? Will you be applying for the issue of will you pass?

How much to apply?

Sanima 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 IPO trend in the market and General Insurance Company Nepal Limited (GICNL) in particular which issued its IPO recently, a total of 8 lakh applicants (approx) applied for the issue oversubscribing by 7.56 times and we assume that the same or even more craze prevails in Sanima General Insurance Limited’s IPO too. Since 10 kitta rule exists for IPO; only 273,000 applicants will be lucky enough to get 10 shares of Sanima General Insurance Limited.

To sum up, if the same number of applicants (or more) who applied for General Insurance’s IPO apply for this issue then there is a high probability of getting 10 units through the lottery. So, it is advisable to apply 10 units in the IPO issue of Sanima General Insurance Limited.
