In a bid to expand fee-based income, state-owned Punjab & Sind Bank is planning to foray into mutual fund space and hopes to find a partner by September, a senior official has said. "The bank has already floated a Request for Proposal to finalise a partner in the Fintech space, and we hope to conclude the process soon," Punjab & Sind Bank managing director Swarup Kumar Saha told PTI. He expressed hope that the bank would be able to zero in on a partner by the end of the second quarter and start operations during the current financial year. The asset management business would help the bank in increasing fee income by cross-selling products, he noted. There are 44 asset management companies operating in India.

With a wide array of existing mutual fund schemes, asset management companies are going slow on launching new ones in a highly competitive landscape as they filed draft documents for 59 new fund offerings (NFOs) in the first seven months of the year. In comparison, draft papers for 70 NFOs were filed in the year-ago period. In 2022, a total of 228 new schemes were floated against 140 in 2021, industry data showed. Moreover, the remaining months of 2023 are not expected to see NFO numbers anywhere close to those of 2022 or 2021, SAS Online founder and CEO Shrey Jain said. The reasons behind the decline in NFOs could be a combination of the factors as the mutual fund industry's dynamics are influenced by various internal and external factors. "AMCs may be concentrating on managing and promoting their existing schemes, rather than launching new ones. This strategy allows them to maximise the returns for existing investors and maintain stable assets under management," Jain said. Also,
