The Case for Increasing FDI Caps in Insurance
The history of India’s political economy is replete with missed opportunities. The approach to growth and investment has been often stranded in the many romantic notions of selfreliance and what constitutes national interest. In every
decade since Independence, the approach to foreign direct investment has been influenced by a mistrust triggered by a colonial hangover. Every time India has opened its doors – or windows if you please – to foreign investment, it has been characterised by gradualism in the wake of much opposition. The debates around opening or expanding FDI are similar – as it was when telecom or banking opened up for foreign investment. What is important to recognise is that every such initiative has been beneficial, delivering greater common good.
Higher economic growth is driven by competition and consumer choice. Competition drives efficiency and efficiency drives growth. This is true of every country that has done well economically. It is also true of India since 1991, in segments where competition has been introduced. Any attempt to artificially introduce protection always has costs. Inefficient producers are protected, but at the expense of consumers. Consumers suffer from higher prices,bad service and limited choice. This is straightforward under-graduate economic theory. The gains to inefficient producers are more than neutralized by losses to consumers, leading to an overall deadweight welfare loss to the country.
In this argument, the colour of the competition, whether it is domestic or foreign, does not matter. In addition, there is the macroeconomic argument about a current account deficit having to be met through capital account inflows and non-debt-creating FDI inflows are preferable to debt-creating capital inflows. While these broad arguments about competition and FDI are accepted, the question to ask is, why should the insurance sector not be subject to these compelling arguments? Is there anything special about insurance that rational arguments should not be applied to
this sector? In every sector where India has opened up to FDI, be it manufacturing or be it services, two propositions are empirically evident. First, liberalization helps consumers. Second, fears about inefficient producers being eliminated are also vastly exaggerated.
Instead, producers of goods and services adapt and survive, based on access to capital, technology, knowhow, improved management practices and customer orientation. Therefore, protection not only harms the cause of consumers, it also harms the cause of producers. There is no reason why insurance should be treated differently. And economic logic and rationale should not be conditional on whether one is within the government or is in opposition.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

• The company is likely to witness strong growth in net premium income driven by high growth in ULIPs, diversified multi-channel
distribution network and favorable industry dynamics.
• Besides ICICI Bank, the company has also entered into partnership with Standard Chartered Bank and Capital Small Finance Bank Limited
and is selling insurance products through 4,550 branches in the country. Bancassurance accounts for around 59% of retail annualised
premium equivalent.
• The company has strong focus on cost control and thereby the cost to total weighted received premium (TWRP) declined from 17.9% in
FY12 to 14.6% in FY16, one of the lowest ratio in the industry.
• Despite having strong focus on expense management, the company is also shifting product portfolios towards the higher margin
protection business, which currently accounts for around 2.5% of APE in FY16 compared to 1.5% in FY15.
• Higher dependence on retail ULIPS business, increasing competition in insurance segments and uncertainty over rules and regulations
for sector represent key concerns for the business
• At higher price band of Rs334, ICICI Prudential's valued at Rs479,390 mn or P/EV multiple of 3.4(x) of FY16 EVPS, which is around 47%
premium to last stake sale by ICICI bank when it sold 6% stake for around Rs19,500 mn valuing the the company at Rs325,000 mn.
However, the valuation appears attractive if we compare the recent share swap agreement between HDFC Life and Max life which

Thus, keeping in mind the above observations, we recommend a “Subscribe” rating for the public issue

Industry Overview:
Indian Economy is the 4th largest economy in the world in terms of GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates,
with an estimated GDP in PPP terms for 2015 of US$7.97 trillion. India currently has one of the youngest populations in the
world with an estimated 90% of its population expected to be below the age of 60 by 2020. A high share of working
population coupled with urbanisation and increasing affluence is expected to propel the growth of the life insurance industry.
India has a large pool of household savings with the ratio of household savings to GDP standing at 19% in FY15. The share of
life insurance as a proportion of financial savings in India was at its highest at 26.2% in FY10. However owing to the
regulatory changes and downturn in capital markets, the share of life insurance declined sharply to 16% in FY14. In FY15 the
share of life insurance increased to 19% partly due to the increase in the sale of linked products.
Indian Life Insurance Sector Overview: The size of the Indian life insurance sector (excluding Sahara Life Insurance Company
Limited) was Rs3.7 trillion on a total premium basis in fiscal 2016, making it the tenth largest life insurance market in the
world and the fifth largest in Asia. The total premium in the Indian life insurance sector grew at a CAGR of approximately 17%
between FY01 and FY16. Despite this, India continues to be an underpenetrated insurance market with a life insurance
penetration of 2.7% in FY15, as compared to 3.7% in Thailand, 7.3% in South Korea and a global average of 3.5% in 2015.

In 2015, the Government of India increased the maximum permissible shareholding of foreign investors from 26% of paid-up
equity capital to 49%. This led to an inflow in foreign investments of US$1.13 billion (bn) in FY16, an approximate increase of
170% over FY15. According to CRISIL Research, Life insurance industry report, July 2016, the new business premium for Indian
life insurance companies is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11-13% over the next five years. Some of the key catalysts for this
growth are; Improving economic growth, low insurance penetration, increased financial savings, and a low sum assured to
GDP ratio.
Health Insurance is emerging as an opportunity for Insurance providers as only 17% of the total population in India has health
insurance coverage as of March 31,2015. In addition, only about 20% of this health insurance coverage was provided by
insurance providers (both life and general), with the remaining covered under government-sponsored schemes such as the
Central Government Health Scheme and the Employee State Insurance Scheme

• Linked Products mainly consist of ULIPs which offer a combination of investment and protection where the customer can
choose
the level of life coverage, subject to minimum levels mandated by regulations.
• Non Linked products consist of participating products and Non participating savings and annuity products. The Participating
(par) products are those for which the surplus is shared with the policyholders in the form of bonuses. Non-participating
products are those that offer benefits that are guaranteed in absolute terms at the beginning of the policy and do not
provide any upside potential from the underlying fund performance
• Group Products consists of Group term and other group products. Group term products provide life insurance coverage to
a group of individuals, where, upon the death of a member, the sum assured is paid to the member’s nominee. Other
group products include unit-linked and variable insurance products.
Product Mix: ULIPs accounted for 92% and 75% of the new business premiums for private sector companies and the overall
industry FY08 as compared to 43% and 13% in FY16. However the ULIP regulations introduced in September 2010, financial
crisis, slowdown in economic growth and financial savings, volatility in equity markets, rising interest rates and high inflation
led to change in the product mix. Indian life insurers introduced 177 new products in fiscal 2015, as compared to 147 new
products in FY14. Life insurance companies launched nine products in FY15 for health insurance compared to only two new
products in FY14. These products covered customers for serious diseases like cancer or other critical illnesses.

other factor could have a material adverse effect on the business.

adverse effect business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the company

IPO Update
Valuation and view: ICICI Prudential is one of the largest private sector insurance player in India consisting of 21.9% share in
FY16 in terms of retail weighted received premium (RWRP) among private sector insurance companies and 11.3% among all
insurance companies in India (public and private sector) Value of new business (VNB), which is the present value of future
earnings of the new policies written during a period, grew by 52.6% YoY in FY16 to Rs4.12 bn and VNB margin also improved
to 8% from 5.7% in FY16 Continued focus on cost efficiency and persistency, robust risk management have enabled the
company to deliver healthy return ratios and strong growth in business.
Net interest premium grew by a CAGR of 12.3% during FY13-FY16 and RoE remained healthy at around 30% during the same
period. The company is likely to witness strong growth in net premium income driven by high growth in ULIPs, diversified
multi-channel distribution network and favorable industry dynamics. Besides ICICI Bank, the company has also made
partnership with Standard Chartered Bank and Capital Small Finance Bank Limited and is selling insurance products through
4,550 branches in the country. Bancassurance accounts for around 59% of retail annualised premium equivalent.
The company has strong focus on cost control and thereby the cost to total weighted received premium (TWRP) declined
from 17.9% in FY12 to 14.6% in FY16, one of the lowest ratio in the industry. Despite having strong focus on expense
management, the company is also shifting product portfolios towards the higher margin business protection business, which
current accounts for around 2.5% of APE in FY16 compared to 1.5% in FY15. Largest dependence on retail ULIPS business,
increasing competition in insurance segment and uncertainty over rules and regulations for sector represented key concerns
for the business. At higher price band of Rs334, ICICI Prudential's valued at Rs479,390 mn or P/EV multiple of 3.4(x) of FY16
EVPS, which is around 47% premium to last stake sale by ICICI bank when it sold 6% stake for around Rs19,500 mn valuing the
the company at Rs325,000 mn. However, the valuation appears attractive if we compare the recent share swap agreement
between HDFC Life and Max life which valued at P/EVPS multiple of 4.2(x) of FY16 EV.
Thus, keeping in mind the above observations, we recommend a “Subscribe” rating for the public issue
