ICICI Securities Report

Q4 FY21 was a good quarter for equity exchanges, depositories and asset management companies with record volumes in equities, continued demat additions, growth in National Stock Exchange active client and ~8% overall QoQ growth in average assets under management.

Life insurance new business premiums also returned to a strong growth trajectory (15/17% YoY growth in private life new business profit in January/February 2021).

Continued lower unit link insurance plan mix, cost savings, reserve releases and higher volumes should help maintain/outperform value of new business margins in Q4 FY21.

Comparatively, non-life insurance gross direct premium income witnessed lower growth (ex-crop GDPI growth of 7%/8% YoY in Jan/Feb-21).
