Dutch
finance major Aegon files application for AMC
Mumbai: Dutch financial major Aegon has filed its
application to start an asset management company with
the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
Aegon is a euro 2.5-billion group with operations across
the US, the UK and the Netherlands. The company's shares
are listed on the stock exchanges in Amsterdam, Frankfurt,
London, New York, Tokyo and Zurich.
Aegon is also expected to set up its insurance business
in the country.
N.K. Sharma, former Chief Executive Officer of IL&FS
asset management company (AMC), has joined Aegon and is
spearheading operations.
The Florida, USA, based Hansberger Global Investors, with
$4.6 billion in assets, has also filed an application
with SEBI for setting up its AMC. Other global players
who are considering the Indian mutual fund market are
Development Bank of Singapore, the Swiss giant UBS and
Sabre Capital.
Fidelity, the world's largest mutual fund company, is
still awaiting final clearance from SEBI, even though
the in-principle clearance was awarded over seven months
ago.
The mutual fund business, itself, had a very sluggish
year, with assets under management (AUM) growing by less
than seven per cent. Total AUM at the end of December
2004 was Rs1,50,000 crore, up barely by Rs10,000 crore
from the previous year.
