IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
CHLICL is Canara Bank and HSBC promoted life insurer in India having around 17 years standing. It posted inconsistency in its top lines for the reported periods, but marked growth in bottom lines. The company enjoys niche place in bancassurance segment and have strategic plans to gain business and maintain profitability. Based on its recent set of financials, the issue appears aggressively priced. The management is confident of maintaining the trends going forward. Being a pure long term story, only well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds.
