SBI To Acquire Stake in SBI Pension Funds

State Bank of India announced its intention to acquire a 20% stake in SBI Pension Funds. SBI plans to acquire the 20% stake in SBI Pension Funds held by SBI Capital Markets.

SBI already owns a 60% stake in SBI Pension Funds. With this current transaction, the company will own an 80% stake in SBI Pension Funds. SBI will do the acquisition for 2.3 bn. SBI Funds Management holds the rest of the 20% stake in SBI Pension Funds.

As of 30 October 2023, SBI Pension Funds has an AUM of Rs 3.8 trillion (tn) and PAT of Rs 350.3 million.

SBI in the regulatory release has said that the central bank RBI and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) have approved the proposed acquisition.

They also added that the proposed transaction is being done at an arm's length basis, which is based on the valuation report of M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India.

State Bank of India (SBI), the largest and oldest public sector bank in India, has been a cornerstone of the Indian economy for over a century.

Why Oil Prices Are Falling

Oil prices fell in Wednesday's Asian morning trading as markets continue to doubt the impact of OPEC+ cuts and take cues from a worsening demand outlook in China.

Brent crude futures fell 8 cents, or 0.1%, to US$ 77.12 a barrel. US WTI crude futures were down 0.2%, at US$ 72.2 a barrel.

Both benchmarks closed at their lowest level since 6 July in the previous session, with WTI seeing four consecutive days of declines.

Voluntary output cuts of about 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) for the first quarter of 2024 by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia (OPEC+) have failed to support market sentiment amid scepticism over whether the cuts would be implemented in full.

The cuts include an extension of Saudi and Russian voluntary cuts of 1.3 million bpd.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit key OPEC members Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday for talks that are expected to include oil market cooperation.
