PERFORMANCE OF BOB MUTUAL FUND AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
As on 31.03.2008 the total net assets under the various schemes were Rs. 70.36 crore. The overallperformance of the Schemes were satisfactory.
As per rating awarded by the Economic Times for the quarter ended March 2008, our equity schemes BOBELSS’96 scheme, BOB Growth Scheme and BOB Diversified Scheme were rated in the ‘Gold, silver andBronze category’ respectively.
Also our Debt Schemes BOB Income Fund and BOB MIP rated in ‘Lead Category’ and BOB Balance Fundin ‘Bronze Category’.
During the current year, your Mutual Fund plans to come out with schemes to cater to specific investmentneeds.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
According to a report of McKinsey, a global consultancy firm, the Indian Asset Management business isexpected to grow at least 33% annually. The main drivers will be the retail segment and institutionalinvestor segment. AUM as a percentage of GDP works out to only 8% in India as compared with 79% in theUS, and 39% in Brazil. AUM as a percentage of bank deposits is also abysmally low in India, at 25%, whileit is 140% in the US and 96% in Brazil. SEBI has recently withdrawn the flexibility of charging the initialissue expenses to the new close-ended funds and amortising it over a period of 5 years. In view of this, theinitial issue expenses incurred for the launch of the new funds will be confined to the extent of the entryload collected and any expenses in excess will be borne by the company. In addition, Asset ManagementCompanies cannot charge anyentry load in respect direct investments pursuant to SEBI circular. Yourcompany believes the measures will be in the long-term interest of all stakeholders in the mutual fundsbusiness. In the near-to-medium term, the measures could impact on the profitability of the company. Withthe entry of new players in the mutual fund industry, competition is likely to Intensify.
Baroda Pioneer Asset Management will strive to provide well-defined products that cater to a diverserange of risk, return and liquidity preferences of investors. Your company is confident of a robust growth inAUM on the back of consistent performance, a well thought-out marketing and distribution strategy, enhancedgeographical reach and quality customer service. It is proposed that the branch network of the Bank,especially in the rural and semi-urban areas would be used for broadening investor base.
