SWOT ANALYSIS of beacon trusteeship

Strengths:

Promoter Backed Management: The ownership of the company is hugely Promoter centric as nearly whole shareholding lies with the Promoters & their family members. Further, the day-to-day management of the Company is closely monitored & directed by the Promoters. Their close involvement with the Company’s daily affairs augurs an expeditious steadfast approach in achieving the organizational objectives.

Marquee Client Base: Beacon has been able to rank amongst the Top 3 Trustees over the last couple of years as per PRIME Database. Within a short span of time, Beacon has been triumphant in persistently winning noteworthy debt assignments from PSUs, BFSI entities, & prominent conglomerates from the RE, Infra, & Mfg. domains. Being promoted by a group of ex-bankers & elitists from similar domains, Beacon has been able to establish a robust network of connections assuming influential roles in organizations renowned globally.

Regulatory compliance: Our company is subject to strict regulatory oversight by SEBI, which inherently requires us to meet high standards of corporate governance and fiduciary responsibility.

Our presence on almost all bespoke social media platforms, corporate events, seminars & continued rapport with existing clients & prospects, has helped us create a sense of brand recognition among any person we come across.

Expertise: Our Company has employed experienced and qualified professionals who have their domain in trustee services, client relationship, debt & capital markets, banking, etc. This mix enables us to deliver on our promise to provide high-quality services to our clients.

Technology: Our Company has continuously invested in modern technology to improve our efficiency and effectiveness. This allows us to provide our clients with better services at a lower cost. Beacon has successfully developed adaptable and flexible ERP and other product-based software, like Beacon ERP & Beacon Prosect, to further its tech-advent. The digital infrastructure is developed in-house with no dependence on any external agency.

Complex regulations: The Company is obligated to monitor compliance with provisions of extant SEBI Regulations, SEBI Guidelines, SEBI Circulars, Companies Act & Rules, RBI Directions & Notifications, Contract Law, Stamp Duty Law, Finance Act, Income Tax Act, etc.

Competition: The Corporate Trustee space has witnessed a marginal rise in the number of SEBI Registered Debenture Trustees. New entrants have largely resorted to predatory pricing backed business development. While this may pose a difficulty for the company to attract & retain clients, the doubtful survival of such entities also presents the company an opportunity to contemplate on strategic acquisitions.

Opportunities

Growing demand for trustee services: The demand for trustee services is growing in India due to the increasing number of complex financial transactions. This presents an opportunity for SEBI registered trustee companies to grow their businesses.

Expanding product and service offerings :SEBI registered trustee companies can expand their product and service offerings to meet the growing needs of their clients. For example, they could offer new trustee services for asset securitization, structured finance, and other complex financial transactions.

Expansion into new markets: SEBI registered trustee companies can expand into new markets, such as tier-II and tier-III cities. This would allow them to reach out to a wider range of clients and grow their businesses.

Positive Outlook on Industry: The Indian Bond Market has showcased a notable CAGR of ~9% over the past 5 financial years. As per a report by CRISIL RATINGS, the outstanding size of Bonds Market is expected to grow by over 100% y-o-y basis, with FY 2023 at ~INR 43 Lakh Crore to ~INR 100 – 120 Lakh Crore by FY 2030. The positive forecast for capex to rise by 1.7 times to ~INR 110 lakh in FY 2023 – FY 2027 as compared to previous 5 Fiscal Years. The same is expected to fuel growth of the Bond Market alongside the Corporate Finance & Equity Market. The Corporate Bond Market is poised to more than double by FY 2030 owing to expected rise in capex, retail credit growth, increase in quantum of retail investors & recent regulatory amendments mandating large corporates to access Bond Market for any incremental borrowings.

Service verticals other than Debenture Trustee, namely AIF Trustee, Securitization Trustee, Security Trustee & Escrow Agent, are poised for a positive outlook owing to historic growth rate of Corporate Finance, Capex Requirement, Funds raised & invested by AIFs & Retail Loan Portfolio growth in HFCs, MFIs & Vehicular Finance. The forecast for upcoming is approximately estimated to be fairly positive owing to macro-economic growth & the nation’s march towards becoming a USD 5 trillion economy and the third largest in the world market exchange rates by 2027, aided by the demographic advantage & pace of financial sector development.

The positive outlook on Industry backed by Beacon’s inherent ability to conduct its business operations on ‘Debt Free’ & ‘Asset Light Business Model’ basis alongside market reach & brand recognition of Beacon put us at advantageous position to substantially benefit & materialize desired revenue targets from the forecasted growth.

Threats

  • New regulations: The government may introduce new regulations for SEBI registered trustee companies in the future. This could increase their compliance costs and make it more difficult for them to operate.
  • Economic down turn: An economic downturn could lead to a decrease in the demand for trustee services. This could have a negative impact on the business of SEBI registered trustee companies.
  • Technology disruption: New technologies could disrupt the trustee industry and make it more difficult for SEBI registered trustee companies to compete. For example, blockchain technology could be used to create new and more efficient ways to provide trustee services.

  11. Thanks a ton for your post. I’d like to write my opinion that the cost of car insurance varies from one insurance policy to another, mainly because there are so many different issues which contribute to the overall cost. For example, the make and model of the automobile will have a large bearing on the charge. A reliable outdated family car or truck will have a more economical premium than a flashy expensive car.

  12. Aw, this was a really nice post. In thought I want to put in writing like this moreover – taking time and actual effort to make an excellent article… however what can I say… I procrastinate alot and certainly not seem to get something done.
