Bank of India looking to enter MF sector

20 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Bank of India (BOI), a public sector lender is looking to enter the Mutual Fund (MF) business and has appointed consultancy firm Ernst and Young for advising it on the takeover of an existing player. The bank is also in talks with Bharti Axa and two other asset management companies for an entry in MF space and hopes to seal the deal before end of September.

Earlier this month, Bharti exited its life insurance business by selling off its stake in Bharti AXA Life Insurance to Reliance Industries is also looking at options of exiting other non-core businesses, to concentrate on telecom and retail. It makes sense for the bank to acquire an operational business than start something which will take two years to build up.

Bank of India hopes to firm up its non interest income through an entry into the MF business. It will use its network of over 3,500 branches nationally to distribute its products.

The Group has posted an increase of 42% in its net profit of Rs 2542.42 crore for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to Rs 1787.16 crore for the year ended March 31, 2010. Its total income has increased from Rs 20596.91 crore for the year ended March 31, 2010 to Rs 24500.25 crore for the year ended March 31, 2011.
