RBL Bank weighs broking and mutual fund expansion
In short
RBL Bank is looking at adding broking and mutual fund businesses. Its CEO said no final decision has been taken yet, and the bank is checking what it can do itself, through the group, or through new units.
This could widen the bank’s capital market work if it goes ahead. For now, nothing has been approved.
What the reporting says
RBL Bank said it is evaluating a foray into broking and mutual funds as part of expanding its capital market activities, according to the syndicated report. Managing director and chief executive R Subramaniakumar said no decision has been reached and that the bank will assess which activities can be done internally, at group level or through separate units. The immediate implication is strategic review only; no new business line has been approved yet.
