LIC in talks with regulators to expand long-term instruments: CEO

State-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is engaging with key financial regulators, including the Reserve Bank and Sebi, to expand the availability of long-term investment instruments as inflows into its annuity products keep on rising, CEO and MD R Doraiswamy said. An Annuity product converts an accumulated retirement corpus into a guaranteed, lifelong stream of income. When one invests a lump sum, LIC pays a regular pension for life, ensuring the savings aren't outlived. "When the annuity markets are becoming more favoured by the policyholders, and more investments flow into annuities, we need to necessarily have long-term investments matching that kind of long-term liabilities. So we have been in touch with the (insurance) regulator as well as the regulators like SEBI, as well as RBI and the requirements of LIC, particularly are being duly communicated to them," he told PTI in an interview. He further said the sector regulator, Insurance Regulatory and Development ..

LIC eyes improvement in realty returns, considers separate unit

LIC is looking to improve returns from real estate properties, and the insurer would also explore the option of a separate subsidiary to achieve greater efficiency in managing its vast assets, which are conservatively estimated at over Rs 60,000 crore.

As part of the asset, we expect each property to contribute towards the returns for the policyholders as well as shareholders," LIC CEO and MD R Doraiswamy told PTI in an interview. In the recent past, he said LIC has initiated a comprehensive review of its real estate portfolio to assess the returns and yields it generates, and to identify opportunities for further optimisation and improvement.
