NIMB Ace Capital Limited is concluding the public issuance of its mutual fund scheme, “NIBL Stable Fund,” today, on Magh 16, 2080. The originally scheduled closing date on the 5th Magh was extended due to an insufficient number of applications received by the issue manager. The mutual fund scheme, out of a total of 10 crore unit shares, has allocated 1% (10 lakh units) valued at Rs. 1 crore to the scheme manager, NIMB Ace Capital Limited, and 14% (1.4 crore units) worth Rs. 14 crore to the fund sponsor, Nepal Investment Mega Bank Limited. The remaining 8.5 crore units, amounting to Rs. 85 crore, are now available for subscription by the general public. This extension provides an additional opportunity for investors to participate in the NIBL Stable Fund, contributing to the overall capitalization of the mutual fund scheme.
POV: A CA Aspirant ( 3rd year).
Himalayan Reinsurance Limited is a newly listed IPO whose capital is as below:
1. Promoter : 70,000,000
2. Public : 30,000,000
Only the public shares are tradeable atm in the stock exchange. The maximum shares a retailer was allotted was 180 (foreign) and minimum was 10 (general). All the tradeable shares are in the hands of the retail traders.
Let’s look at the volume trades so far.
1. 8 Jan 2024 1st day – 30,866
2. 9 Jan 2024 2nd day- 10,699
3. 10 Jan 2024 3rd day – 17,000
4. 11 Jan 2024 4th day – 37,455
These volumes are small compared to the listed size.
These all factors indicate that the retailers have the sentiment of ” Hold is gold”. It’s direct competitor is Nepal Reinsurance Company whose LTP is 661.40.
Further second quarter of FY 2080-81 is about to end and there is a strong probability of lower interest rate from commercial banks that discourages people to save money (even in FDs.). Monetary review might also give favorable environment for stock market as the Government is in need of money and capital gain tax is a great source of revenue.
Hydropower sector has also signaled the possibility of break through and bull run.
“Game Stop” stock market is a great example that retail traders can win over institutional investors.
So I suggest retailers to hold the shares of HRL.

The NEPSE index experienced a decline today, closing at 1,849.79, which marked a decrease of 38.83 points compared to the previous trading day. This equated to a loss of 2.06% in the index value. Over the course of the week, the index has witnessed a decrease of approximately 109.37 points since Sunday.
During the week, the Finance Minister, Dr. Prakash Sharan Mahat, presented the budget for the upcoming financial year, which included several new tax reforms. However, the introduction of these reforms caused some confusion and misinterpretation regarding the restructuring of the existing taxation system in the share market. As a result, panic selling occurred, leading to a decline in the market. Within just two days (Sunday and Tuesday), the market plummeted by 91.99 points.
One of the concerns raised by investors pertained to the treatment of losses incurred during stock market transactions. In response, the Director General of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), Dirgha Raj Mainali, addressed this issue by announcing a new provision. This provision allows investors to carry forward losses for up to seven years and offers additional tax rebates after adjusting profit or loss for taxpayers. This measure is seen as a positive step to alleviate market concerns and promote investor confidence.
The new tax provisions announced by the Finance Minister include bringing FPO premiums and gains from mergers and acquisitions under the scope of taxation. However, certain sectors such as banking and financial institutions, hydro companies, and insurance companies have consistently maintained their position that such gains should be treated as investments rather than taxable profits.
The market’s decline can be attributed to the uncertainties and apprehensions arising from the new tax reforms. It is important for investors to understand and interpret the provisions accurately to avoid any unnecessary panic selling or volatility in the market. The IRD’s efforts to address investor concerns and provide favorable provisions, such as carrying forward losses and tax rebates, aim to mitigate the impact of the reforms and maintain stability in the market.

An initial public offering is the process by which a privately held company becomes a publicly traded company by selling its stock to the general public (IPO). An IPO allows a company to raise funds by selling ownership stakes to a diverse group of investors. It is a method for businesses to obtain public funding in order to support operations or grow.
A company that wants to go public typically hires an investment bank to handle the IPO. The investment bank and the company will work together to determine the appropriate stock price and quantity to be distributed. Following that, the company will file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) detailing its finances and other information.
