LIC's numbers are turning retail heads: LIC equity up 11% YoY and LIC debt up 15%. How should buyers read this against mutual funds? [1]
Performance snapshot A quick read: LIC’s equity is up 11% YoY, while many large‑cap funds stay below 7%—with the notable exception of Motilal Large Cap Fund [1]. On the debt side, LIC’s investments are up 15% versus roughly 7% for most debt funds [1]. The figures come from sources including Business Standard and Moneycontrol [1].
What this debate really hinges on Retail readers are asking how LIC manages to beat every mutual fund in both equity and debt. It’s a snapshot that sparks questions about risk, time horizon, and portfolio mix—not a guarantee that LIC will outpace funds forever [1].
Adani exposure in LIC’s portfolio • Adani exposure is about 0.975% of LIC’s total AUM, purchased at around Rs 30,000 crore and with the current market value near Rs 60,000 crore, yielding a profit of roughly Rs 30,000 crore [2].
Closing thought: a single snapshot isn’t the whole story for a retail investor. Look at diversification, risk appetite, and time horizon when weighing LIC against mutual funds [1][2].
