LIC IPO - SWOT Analysis

Strengths

  • Multiple offerings: LIC offers various insurance plans. The most popular products include life insurance policies, money back plans, endowment plans, insurance riders, and term insurance plans.
  • Diversified business portfolio: LIC boasts a diversified business portfolio. Some of its most noteworthy lines of business include LIC Housing Finance, LIC Pension Fund, LIC Card Services, and LIC Mutual Fund.
  • Sizeable fund base: The company operates with a fund base of nearly Rs. 289.57 crores. Additionally, India's largest investor has a robust financial standing with sufficient flexibility to grow and expand its portfolio further.

Weaknesses

  • Restrictions on PSU: LIC is subject to various restrictions since it's a PSU. Such restrictions could emerge as a roadblock to the operational and expansion goals of this company.
  • Large workforce: LIC has more than 1 lakh employees. Maintaining such a large workforce can become challenging, especially during a financial crisis.

Opportunities

  • Online services: The online offerings of LIC cater to a large pool of tech-savvy customers. LIC could tap into the urban market like never before by leveraging the IPO proceeds to establish an extensive digital footprint.
  • Increase in disposable income: A surge in individuals' disposable income and greater awareness about the importance of being insured could continue to favour LIC's growth.

Threats

  • Competition: Several private insurance policy companies and NBFCs are now active in the market. The unique offerings and more customised services of these competitors could pose a threat to LIC.
  • Changes in the fiscal policy: Changes in RBI's monetary and fiscal policies can prompt LIC to modify its policies accordingly. Such changes can be counterintuitive to the company's earnings or scope of operations.
