Mutual funds leave insurers in the shade on anchor allotments
Business Standard
|September 20, 2025
Insurance participation in IPOs has risen but MF allocations have grown even faster
Issuers have allotted nearly four times as much to mutual funds (MFs) as they have to insurance companies in recent quarters.
MFs invested ₹21,976 crore as anchor investors in initial public offerings (IPOs) on a trailing four-quarter basis, according to data from Prime Database. Insurance companies, by comparison, bought shares worth ₹5,216 crore during the same period.
Anchor investors are institutional investors who receive an early allocation in an IPO, subject to a lock-in. MFs are guaranteed one-third of the anchor quota. In a July 31 consultation paper, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) proposed an additional 7 percent quota for life insurers and pension funds.
