Mutual funds leave insurers in the shade on anchor allotments

Insurance participation in IPOs has risen but MF allocations have grown even faster

- SACHIN P MAMPATTA

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.
