for giving me the opportunity to join at Green Delta Insurance Company Limited and for giving me

My gratitude then goes to Md. T.H Forhad (Senior Executive Director), Kabir Ahmed Chowdhury

Chinmoy Chakrabarty (First Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts Department) who helped

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objectives of the report are to be familiar with fund management and its environment of
the company, to identify the weakness in managing funds efficiently and to provide some suggestions
in order to solve the problems that lie in fund management of the company.
In order to prepare the report, I had to work at the Head Office of Green Delta Insurance
Company Limited as an intern for the past two months. Despite the topic being “Fund Management”,
I was assigned to Underwriting Management Department (UMD) by the HRD of GDICL. I worked
five days in a week under the guidance of the First Assistant Vice President of UMD. I took
everything in my notebook that I was learning from my work on daily basis thinking that it would
help me prepare my report better. Besides this, I depended on the annual reports of past years and the
journals of GDICL for collecting data.
It has been found from my study that the main source of funds of GDICL is the premiums
collected from all the four departments: Fire, Motor, Marine and Miscellaneous. Premiums are
collected on cash basis. The Finance and Accounts department prepares budget in per month for the
following month. The budget is approved by the board and no department can receive cash without
the prior approval of the board. There is no regulation like SLR from IDRA for the insurance
companies in Bangladesh but GDICL keeps 10% reserve on net premiums. There is no particular
model that the company follows for cash management and temporary investment. Rather, the
company depends on market opportunities.
Most of funds of GDICL are invested in quoted shares, followed by FDR and Unquoted
Shares. It has also been found that most of the funds are invested for short term and after that, for long
term. The interest income of GDICL ranks first among all types of investment income, followed by
dividend, profit from sale of shares and other income. In short, though funds are heavily invested in
shares, the top invested income is interest income.
It is suggested that GDICL look forward more to exploit the opportunities for arranging short
term debt financing for different firms and institutions, along with equity financing.
I worked on only the past five years‟ of Data for analysis. The number of the samples is too
few to make my research a rich one. If the size of samples could be increased, then the results would
replicate almost that of the population. Also, the work of my research is on the fund management of a
particular non-life insurance company. Fund management of other non-life/life insurance company
may not be exactly same with this company.

FUND MANAGEMENT OF GREEN DELTA INSURANCE COMPANY LTD.: AN EVALUATION Chapter - 1
INTERNSHIP REPORT, FBS - BANKING AND INSURANCE (17051) PAGE 1
1.1. ORIGIN OF THE REPORT
This report is named as “Fund Management of Green Delta Insurance Company Limited: An
Evaluation”. It had to be prepared as a requirement of Internship under BBA Program. Internship
aims at offering the students some practical knowledge beside bookish knowledge and helps the
students to combine the theoretical aspect with the practical one. The topic of the report was assigned
by honourable teacher Professor Md. Abu Taleb, Department of Banking and Insurance, Faculty of
Business Studies, University of Dhaka.
This report is a reflection of what have been learned while working as an Intern at Green Delta
Insurance Company Limited, Head Office.
1.2. OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT
The objectives of the report are to be familiar with fund management and its environment of the
company, to identify the weakness in managing funds efficiently and to provide some suggestions in
order to solve the problems that lie in fund management of the company.
1.3. METHODOLOGY
1.3.1. RESEARCH DESIGN
This research is an exploratory research which investigates fund management of a non-life insurance
company; especially GDICL.
1.3.2. DATA SOURCES
In order to make the study effective and efficient, following two sources of data and information have
been used widely:
1.3.2.1. PRIMARY SOURCES
i. Discussion with the officers of Underwriting Management Department and Finance and
Accounts Department of Head Office
ii. Discussion with Sr. Executive Director of the company
iii. Discussion with the in-charge of the Principal Branch Department
iv. Visiting different departments of the Head Office
1.3.2.2. SECONDARY SOURCES
i. Annual Reports
ii. Journals Published by the company

1.3.3. DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS
During the exploratory research, in-depth interviews were conducted with executives, managers and
approval officers.
1.3.4. DATA ANALYSIS METHODS AND TOOLS
After collection, data were first carefully scrutinized. Then data gathered from both primary and
secondary sources were arranged orderly and analysed.
1.3.5. SOFTWARE USED
Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 17 were used to prepare the report. Bar chart,
line chart and pie chart have been used for graphical representation.
1.4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This research paper addresses the fund management of GDICL only. Due to lack of time fund
management of other non-life and life insurance companies are not focused in this paper. So fund
management of those companies may vary from that of this particular company.
1.5. RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
The term paper will be helpful for the students especially for the students of the business studies in
many ways.
Insurance is one of the most underrated sectors in our country. Most of the Bangladeshis have
negative attitude and perception towards this sector. Many reasons have already been identified by
various researchers in this regard. People even do not know about insurance business properly, let
alone fund management.
This research will help gather knowledge about fund management of a non-life insurance company,
understand the process by which a non-life insurance company manages its fund and what can be the
flaws that may exist in the managerial system of fund management.
These types of information will be helpful to be a business leader and perhaps this is why the term
paper was assigned to me and I have taken the job with the utmost cordiality.
1.6. LIMITATIONS
While preparing the term paper, some difficulties had to be faced:

1.6.1. AVAILABILITY OF DATA
Despite the topic being ‘Fund Management’, Underwriting Management Department (UMD) was
assigned to work at. Enough data on the research topic were not available because of this reason.
1.6.2. TIME CONSTRAIN
There were five working days in each week during the standard banking office hour of Bangladesh
(10.00am to 6.00pm). There was not enough free time available during past one month to prepare a
standard internship report.
1.6.3. INDIVIDUAL INCAPABILITY
Nothing in this world is completely perfect. Due to many personal limitations many errors and
mistakes may exist in this report.

AT A GLANCE

3.1. SOURCE OF CASH
Premiums collected from every insurance policy are the main source of funds. All premiums are
collected on cash basis. Only the premiums of marine insurance may remain outstanding from 30 to
90 days since the premiums for this class of insurance are on instalment basis. But until and unless
they are collected fully, outstanding premiums are not treated as ‘premiums’ as the company uses
cash basis accounting. That means, the ‘premiums’ on financial statements are noting but some cash
collected. Investment incomes deposited in banks are sometimes used as secondary source of cash.
3.2. RESPONSIBLE UNIT FOR FUND MANAGEMENT
The Finance and Accounts Department of the company is the responsible unit for fund
management. The CFO and the CA are two key personnel in the unit. The unit pays close attention to
cost and risk in order to really capitalize on the cash flow opportunities. Ensuring the proper liquidity
of the funds is a crucial aspect of the fund managers’ position.
3.3. CASH FORECAST AND DESIRED CASH BALANCE
In every month the Finance and Accounts department prepares a budget for the following month after
consulting with the board. The simple budget format is presented below:
Table 3: Simple Model for Monthly Budget
It should me clearly mentioned that the company does not hold any desired cash in hand unlike other
companies. There are three reasons behind it:
January February March April May June
Cash Disbursement For:
Management Expenses and Salary
Reinsurance (Previous month’s)
Claims
Commissions
Total Disbursement
Cash Collection From:

Add: Investment Income (if any and necessary)
Total Receipt
Net Cash Flow (Total Receipt – Total Disbursement)
Add: Beginning Cash (if any)
Total Cash

i) The first reason is that, the monthly amount cash outflows are almost certain. For
example:
Management Expenses and Salary are very much non-volatile and almost fixed.
For honouring reinsurance, the company gets 45 days. That means if the company is to pay any
claim against reinsurance policies purchased, it will pay that claim in the middle of the next month
(30 days + 15 days). The wisdom behind this strategy is that, the longer the company holds cash
balances in the bank, the better return it will get. So the company utilized the maximum 45 days to
honour the claims on reinsurances.
Any big investment is planned before two or three months.
In case of big claims, the company gets more than one and half months. For any claim besides the
forecasted one, the company holds a reserve.
ii) The second reason is that, an insurance company is not a bank like institution. It is not
bound to pay claims immediately as a bank is. If a client of a bank draws a cheque upon
the bank then the bank by law is bound to honour the cheque immediately in every time,
except in few circumstances. But the settlement process of any insurance company takes a
significant time. So the dilemma between Asset and Liability maturity is quite trivial in
the company.
iii) The third reason is that, the company prefers to put cashes in investment rather than to
hold cash balances in hand because of the returns earned in them and because of having
little dilemma between Asset and Liability maturity mismatch problem.
3.4. THE CASH RESERVE SYSTEM FROM PREMIUMS
Every scheduled bank in Bangladesh has to maintain a statutory reserve (current rate is 19.5%) from
the deposits collected. But there is no rule from IDRA for any insurance company to hold a certain
percentage from its premiums collected. The company can invest the total cash collected from
premiums or if necessary, the company can hold the total cash in vault or in bank. But the company
currently holds 10% of net premiums for Reserve for exceptional loss.
3.5. MODELS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF CASH
As far as the models for management of cash and temporary investments are concerned, four models
are found that companies generally follow:
i) The Baulmol Model
ii) The Beranek Model
iii) The Miller-Orr Model and
iv) The Stone Model

GDICL does not replicate only a singles model for cash management and temporary investment.
Rather, it uses a combination of the Baumol model and the Beranek model. The company is assumed
to receive cash continuously as insurance policies are sold all around the year. But the company in
some cases pays out the cash periodically and in other cases pays out continuously. For example the
company has investment in Lands as well as in stocks of other company. Investments/disinvestments
in assets like lands are one time, but investments/disinvestments for assets like stocks are continuous.
The adoption of the model completely depends on the market opportunities.
3.6. CASH COLLECTION AND DISBURSEMENT PROCESS AT A GLANCE
3.6.1. THE COLLECTION PROCESS
i) Collection Documents Received. In this first stage, each and every documents of a sold
policy – premium outstanding list, money receipt, bank deposit slip, bank statement and
premium collection sheet are collected from respective parties. Balances from ‘Premium
Collection Sheet’ go to two separate sheets; Current Recovery Sheet and Previous Recovery
Sheet.
ii) Outstanding Premium Prepared and Updated. Current year’s outstanding and previous
outstanding are adjusted from Current Recovery Sheet and Previous Recovery Sheet
respectively.
iii) VAT Separation and Deposit. Clients’ 15% vat are separated and then deposited to particular
VAT account.
iv) Bank’s Registration and Reconciliation. The after VAT adjusted balance will be registered
and reconciled by the bank.
v) Premium Collection Summarizing. In this stage premiums will be summarized based on
insurance class and bank.
vi) Balances Transferred from Collection Accounts to Mother Account. There are four hundred
(400) collection accounts of GDICL to collect premiums. All of the balances in this stage will
be channelled to the two (2) mother accounts. This is more or less lockbox alike.
3.6.2. THE DISBURSEMENT PROCESS
i) Allocation. For the budgets prepared by the finance and accounts department for each
following months, required amount of cashes for each department are transferred to them
from the mother accounts with the approval of board. It should be mentioned that no
department/unit can use the cash of the mother account as per their whim. It is the board that
approves for receiving required amount money from the mother accounts according to budget
prepared.
ii) Final Disbursement. Respective departments disburse cash for following purposes:

 Expenses
 Investments
The entire process is presented below:

Analysis: From the chart above it is
clearly seen that GDICL have invested
a major portion of their total investment
in Quoted Share (60%), followed by
FDR.

Analysis: It is found that most of the investments of GDICL are for short term (red coloured). It may
be due to the fact that the company do not face any liquidity crisis.
4.3. ANALYSIS OF THE RETURN ON FUNDS INVESTED
Income earned from investment can be divided into four types:
i) Interest
ii) Dividend
iii) Profit from Sale of Share
iv) Other
Chart 11: Income from investment of GDICL from CY 2011-2013 (Source: Annual Report of GDICL, 2013)
Analysis: Of the four types of income, interest income is the largest one, followed by dividend
income. Both interest income and dividend are upward sloping. The other two are more or less flat. It
means, though the company has heavy investments in stocks, interest income ranks first in terms of
investment income.
4.4. THE COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION (R) AND THE COEFFICIENT OF
DETERMINATION (R2
)
The coefficient of correlation (R) describes the strength of the relationship of two sets of ratio scaled
variables. It shows, how well one variable can be explained by another. It can assume any value from
-1.00 to +1.00. A correlation coefficient of -1.00 or +1.00 indicates perfect correlation, (+) sign for
positive relationship and (-) sign for negative relationship. On the other hand, the coefficient of

determination (R2
) is the primary way by which we can measure the extent of the association that
exists between two variables.
In this section a statistical relationship of net claims, underwriting profits and net premiums with total
investment income is shown. For this purpose, past five years’ data (2009-2013) were used to make
the analysis more acceptable. Data, model and assumptions needed to do the research are presented
below:
Type Variable Assumption
Independent
Net Claims There are many factors to accelerate investment income. It is
assumed that the investment income is influenced by net claims,
underwriting profits and net premiums. If the explanatory power of
the independent variables is high over investment income, the
dependent variable, the assumption will be proved.

Profit
Net Premiums

)
After inputting all those variable using SPSS, the result found is shown below:
R R2
0.523 0.274
Table 9: Result from SPSS
Analysis: The R value is 0.523, meaning that there is a moderate relationship between the
independent variables and the dependent variable. The R2
value is 0.274, which means that only
27.40% variance in investment income can be explained by the variance in net claims, underwriting
profits and net premiums jointly. There must be more independent variables other than net claims,
underwriting profits and net premiums whose variance can explain the variance in investment income
significantly.
4.5. INTERPRETATION
Fire and Marine are two classes of insurance from which the company earns significant amount of
premiums. The list of the investments in securities is more or less long for the company; it invests in
all types of assets. As the insurance policies are for one year, the company has a heavy investment for
short term in stocks. Although funds are heavily invested in stocks, interest income is the top invested
income.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
FINDINGS FROM
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
CHALLENGES WHILE
MANAGING FUNDS
PROBLEMS FACED TO
MANAGE FUNDS

5.1. FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
5.1.1. FINDINGS FROM FUND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
i) Main Source of Cash: Premiums from all classes of insurance. Most of the premiums come
from Fire and Marine insurance.
ii) Responsible Unit for Fund Management: The Finance and Accounts Department. The CFO
and the CA are two key personnel.
iii) Cash Forecast and Desired Cash Balance: Monthly Budget for each following month.
iv) Cash Reserve System from Premiums: 10% reserve on net premiums . But there is no
specific regulation on rate from IDRA.
v) Models for the Management of Cash: No specific model is used by the company.
vi) Cash Collection and Disbursement process: As per traditional non-life insurance companies.
5.1.2. FINDINGS FROM INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
i) Detailed Amount of Funds Invested: Heavily invested in Quoted Shares, followed by FDR
and Unquoted Shares.
ii) Maturity Wise Distribution of Investment: The major portion is for short term and the rest is
for long term.
iii) Return on Funds Invested: Although funds are heavily invested in shares, the top invested
income is interest income.
5.1.3. CHALLENGES WHILE MANAGING FUNDS
There are two major challenges that the company has to face while managing funds:
i) Lower Investment Income Due to ‘Crisis’. If the company ever exceeds its budget in any
month or if any incident occurs for which the company needs more cash than the budgeted
amount, the company has to liquidate some of its short term assets. The company does not
face any difficulty in this case as the company has invested in short term assets heavily. This
is not any real crisis actually. The main problem lies here; the company has to lose some
investment income if some assets are liquidated before maturity. For example, if any asset is
assumed to be matured after twelve (12) months and for some reasons the company liquidates
the assets after five (5) months, then the income generated from five months will definitely be
lower than that of twelve months.
ii) Multiple Big Claims. If several big claims of BDT 30/40 million are called in one month, the
company may face a great difficulty for the next two or three months.

5.1.4. PROBLEMS FACED TO MANAGE FUNDS
Three main problems that the company has to experience often are:
i) Bargaining Power of Big parties. If a big corporate client wants GDICL to purchase some
stocks of that company despite the fact being clear that the company is not performing well in
the market and the market value of the stocks may start declining any time, GDICL often
cannot ignore the proposal, as they may lose that big corporate client.
ii) Heavy Investment in Stock Market. Investment in quoted share ranks first in the total
investments of the company, followed by FDR and Unquoted shares. But the income on that
equity investment is very poor. The company earns a marginal return from stock market.
iii) Decrease in FDR Rate. There was a time when the rate of return on FDR that the company
earned was 12-13%. But this rate is going down year by year and now it has become a single
digit only.

CONCLUSION

SUGGESTIONS
CONCLUDING REMARKS

6.1. SUGGESTIONS
It is quite difficult for an Intern with little knowledge to provide suggestions for a big organization
like GDICL to minimize the problems found. Despite the fact, some suggestions are presented below
based on the knowledge acquired so far:
i. Long Term Investment. In order to earn higher income it is suggested that the company go
for more long term investment.
ii. More Investment in Debt. If everything remains the same, then it is suggested that the
company look forward more to exploit the opportunities for arranging debt financing for
different firms and institutions, along with equity financing. A portion from equity may be
transferred to debt.
iii. Efficient Budget. Monthly Budget must be efficient enough and consider each and every
possible outflow to overcome the problem like Lower Investment Income Due to ‘Crisis’.
iv. Be Tactful. The company should be tactful enough to deal with the big clients’ bargaining
power problem.
v. Reduction in Equity Investment. The company should minimize the investment in stock
market and look forward for debt, since the return earned from stock market is very marginal.
6.2. CONCLUDING REMARKS
In order to develop any type managerial performance, human resource along with professional
knowledge, professional degree and professional skills are some prerequisites for the insurance
companies in Bangladesh. As the insurance sector in our country is one of the most underrated sectors
and people have a negative attitude toward it, the company should come forward to make people
aware about the necessity of insurance in their every-day life and offer lucrative career opportunity to
people for building their career at GDICL.
