Kotak to raise $300mn via offshore funds

Kotak Mahindra Bank is raising a total of $300 million through three separate offshore funds - an infrastructure fund, a Shari'ah fund for Muslim investors and a multi-cap fund for European investors - to tap the growing appetite of global investors.

The Mumbai-headquartered private sector financial services major has collected about $150-175 million through an infrastructure fund, which is the first such fund launched overseas for investments in infrastructure companies listed on the Indian stock markets. The fund closed its initial mobilisation on November 9.

Kotak Mahindra Bank, which manages nearly $2 billion overseas funds in Indian equity markets through its international subsidiaries, is also in the process of marketing a European regulated 'Kotak India Multi-cap Fund', which will eventually become the bank's flagship fund in India, said Paul Parambi, head of its international business.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Cuts floating home loan rates

This festive season your dream home may just be within your reach. The slowdown in retail asset growth and competitive pressure have forced banks to reduce rates on retail loans.

After HDFC reducing floating home loan rates by 50 basis point, it is now the turn of Axis Bank, which has reduced its floating home loan rates by 50 basis points to 10.50 per cent for existing and new customers.

Kotak Mahindra Bank has also reduced its floating home loan rates by 50 basis points. ICICI Bank, the largest private sector bank in the country, last week cut its retail loan rates, except for home loans, by 50 basis points.

However, it is important to note that the reduction in rate is on floating rate loans, which can be increased at the discretion of the bank depending on the market situation.

Planning for owning your dream shelter

A benchmark rate is used as the base to which the banks/HFCs (housing finance companies) link the effective rate of interest. The effective floating loan rate is usually 2-3% higher/lower than this rate. This benchmark is not the actual cost of funds for the bank, but an internal measure related to the cost of funds. The difference between the cost of funds and your home loan rate is the bank's 'spread'.

Earlier, banks and HFCs have tried and tested various independent benchmarks for customers. UTI Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank had introduced an alternative home loan product, which linked the interest rates to one-year fixed deposits.

Explains a Kotak Bank official: "We had introduced the FD rate-linked product, as any rise in cost of funds would affect deposit rates, which in turn, would influence lending rate as well. This would lead to a lot of transparency in the rate calculation." But for some internal reasons, both banks have withdrawn the product. Currently, ING Vysya uses an independent benchmark. It uses the three-month FIMMDA-NSE Mumbai Inter-bank Offer Rate (Mibor) index operated by the National Stock Exchange as the benchmark.
