Now a days we are seeing lot of IPOs are in the news, SBI Cards IPO stands a bit different. On the one hand, it is a capital enhancement opportunity for the company, while on the other hand, it will see India’s biggest ever PE Exit. This piece is about how an SBI owned company bets on its future through this IPO.

What is a credit card?

A credit card is a plastic card issued by financial institutions, which lets you to borrow funds from a pre-approved limit to pay for your purchases. The limit is decided by the institution issuing the card based on your credit score and history. Generally, higher the score and better the history, higher is the limit.

What is SBI credit cards?

One thing we must be clear before everything else, credit cards offered by the banks are different from the banks. If you just want to offer a credit card, you do not necessarily need to be a bank. You may be just another NBFC entity approved by RBI to do so. This is why you can now see some new credit cards coming like ‘flipkart axis bank credit card’ and ‘Amazon Pay Credit Card.’ Hence, they are independent of the bank, technically.

SBI Cards is one of the most prominent players in the Credit Cards business. It owns 18% of market share and is second only to HDFC Cards (27%). Considering a stiff competition from 73 other issuers, SBI Cards market share looks promising. Even its share in total credit card also spends 17.9% of the market share.we should also familiar with the fact that India’s credit market is underdeveloped, and huge part of consumers have yet remained untouched. SBI Cards is planning to do their best with this IPO.

The valuation stands around 65 thousand crores. They are expecting an annual growth (CAGR) of 25%, which seems to be quite realistic owing to experts who say that the Indian credit card market shall grow at a CAGR of 27%. In 2018, SBI had six crores cards in the market, which shoot-up to a massive nine crores by the end of 2019,The Credit Card industry is definitely on the rise. It might see its golden period soon because of the immense competition of companies, each backed by heavyweights. SBI Cards IPO will also mean that other players would want to get listed too.

The convenience of technology, the attractive offers on websites, the EMI offers on cards, and expanding payment infrastructure will all contribute to its growth boost by the millennials. The spending in 21st generations is changing rapidly.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is all about the basic principles of building wealth and increasing financial education.

In the book, Robert Kiyosaki has two dads. His biological father, who he calls his poor dad, and his friend’s dad, who he calls his rich dad.

Both of his dads were well educated and successful in their own right. His poor dad held a Ph.D. and was a lecturer, and his rich dad was an entrepreneur.

Throughout this book, Kiyosaki compares the wealth building advice he gets from his rich dad to that he gets from his poor dad.

But both of them have very different views and behaviors when it came to money and wealth, and these difference are what made one of them the richest man in Hawaii, and the other earning just enough to cover his bills every month.

These stories are meant to be true, but there are some debates about whether Kiyosaki did indeed have two dads. Personally, I don’t think it really matters if they’re true or not, the example of having two dads helps to illustrate the principle of the book – which is what the rich teach their kids about money, that the poor and middle class do not.

About Author :

Robert Kiyosaki tells the story of his two Dad’s in his childhood. His own father and the father of his best friend. While he loved both, they were very different when it came to dealing with finances.

The Book’s Structure:

The book starts off as a story detailing some of the events, conversations, and lessons that Kiyosaki had with both of his dads.

It then transitions from a story into financial lessons about building wealth.

At the end of each chapter, there is a recap along with a study session. By taking the time to answer the questions laid out in the study sessions, it helps you to understand how the principles Kiyosaki is teaching can be applied to your own life.

When reading the book from front to back, the chapter recaps are a bit annoying because you end up reading the same information again , but they would be very useful when re-visiting the book as they would give you a quick refresh without you having to read the whole book again.

Key Points:

Mentioned throughout the book is a game called Cashflow that Kiyosaki had created.. 

After reading the book, I went and played Cashflow and it helped me to cement the principles that I had just been taught, as well as being able to see how they played out in ‘real-life’.

One thing that I took away from that game was the Personal Financial Statement – and I mean I literally took it away!

Your Personal Financial Statement pops up during your turn after you have rolled the dice. This allows you to see your current financial position which helps you assess what action you should take during your move.

I loved the way this information was presented, so I went a downloaded a free copy of the spreadsheet from the Rich Dad website (you can get it from here) and I now use it in my own financial accounts.

when we buy any share we become shareholder of company but do you know there are also types of share. Basically there are three types of share :

1) Equity shares (ordinary share)

These are the shares that are traded on the stock exchange and are also called ordinary shares. Bulk of the shares that are traded on the stock exchanges, comprise equity shares.

The owners of these equity shares are entitled to dividends, voting rights and all other benefits that share holders have. Equity shares are issued at different face values.

2) Shares with Differential Voting Rights (DVR)

The Tata Motors shares with Differential Voting Rights is traded along with equity shares. More popularly known as DVR, these come with voting rights, that may not be the same as equity share holders. In fact, they could be just 10 per cent of the voting rights of normal equity shareholders. However, investors tend to get compensated by higher dividends. Shares with Differential Voting Rights, tend to trade at a lower value as compared to ordinary shares.

For example, the equity shares of Tata Motors is traded at a premium to the DVRs of the company. The equity shares are traded at Rs 400, while the DVRs are traded at Rs 295. Jain Irrigation is another company that has issued DVR in India.

3) Preference Shares

The third category of shares that are issued in India, is the preferential shares. These shares give shareholders the rights to dividends ahead of the equity shareholders. Because of its preference in terms of dividend they have been named as preference shares. In the case of preference shares a fixed dividend is declared every year. On the other, for a equity shareholder, the dividend would be declared based on the profits of the company.

The other important difference is that preference shareholders, do not have voting rights, but,  equity shareholder has voting rights. Under preference shares there maybe various categories, including cumulative preferred, which entitles the holder to receive any dividend that is skipped. There is also a category called participating preferred, which could give dividends, plus extra earnings, based on other parameters, like profits of the company etc. In India, the DVR category has yet to catch-up, though the preference shares have been around for sometime now. Tata Motors has made the DVR very popular and it is also heavily traded.

Most popular category of shares to be honest most category of shares, apart from equity shares are hardly issued today. In fact, equity shares remain the most preferred and the most sought after. This is also because they are freely listed and traded through the stock exchanges in India.  So, if you are looking to buy shares, equity shares would be the best way to go about buying.
