Abstract
The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) plays a vital role in the Indian financial market as a significant institutional investor. Leveraging a substantial pool of policyholder funds, LIC strategically invests across public, private, joint, and cooperative sectors to promote financial stability and long-term growth. Its investment strategy balances risk management, return potential, and national interests, focusing on a mix of stocks, bonds, and loans. Investments in public sector enterprises (PSUs) offer stability, while exposure to the private sector drives growth. Additionally, investments in joint ventures and the cooperative sector support economic inclusivity. By managing its portfolio efficiently, LIC not only secures the financial well-being of its policyholders but also significantly contributes to India's economic growth and capital market stability. This study examines LIC’s investment patterns across different sectors and instruments, highlighting its strategic importance in shaping market trends and supporting infrastructure development.
