SL unit trust industry crosses key milestones, gains traction Amidst the declining interest rates and entrance of new funds, Sri Lanka’s unit trust industry has continued to gain traction this year. The number of unit trust holders surpassed 100,000 and the total net asset value (NAV) crossed Rs.500 billion at end-April this year.  According to the Unit Trust Association of Sri Lanka, the number of unit trust holders rose to 103,107 at end-April this year, compared to 74,686 unit trust holders a year ago. Simultaneously, the NAV of unit trusts rose by 178.41 percent year-on-year to Rs.505.98 billion in the period.  At end-April, the open-ended NDB Wealth Money Fund was by far the largest unit trust, with 21,418 unit trust holders and an NAV of Rs.217.27 billion.  In terms of NAV, CAL Investment Grade Fund was the second largest unit trust, with Rs.51 billion assets under its management. In terms of number of holders, Softlogic Money Market Fund was the second largest unit trust, with 15,640 unit trust holders.  In 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved six unit trust schemes, including one close-ended scheme, which is required to list its units on the Colombo Stock Exchange. According to the SEC, the number of units issued more than doubled to 13,371,000 units in 2023, compared to 6,283,000 in 2022. Out of Rs.407.74 billion assets in 2023, Rs.315.23 billion was invested in Treasury bills, compared to Rs.88.8 in 2022, Rs.18.5 billion in equities, up from Rs.11.86 in 2022 and the remaining Rs.70.17 billion was invested in other instruments (commercial papers, trust certificates, debentures, bank deposits, etc). However, the SEC noted that the SEC is yet to receive any applications from managing companies for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and umbrella schemes, under the recently introduced Collective Investments Code 2022 (CIS Code) framework. In the year, the SEC conducted on-site inspections of selected unit trust managing companies, based on a risk-based approach. #mutualfunds #SriLanka #unittrusts #equties #CapitalAlliance #NDB #Softlogic #CSE #capitalmarkets https://lnkd.in/dUkYrBAp

In today's digital age, protecting sensitive health information is more crucial than ever. The healthcare sector, particularly in Nepal, is witnessing rapid digitization, and with it comes the growing threat of cyberattacks. To address these challenges, adopting globally recognized standards like HITRUST becomes imperative. 🌍 What is HITRUST? The Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) is a certifiable framework that provides organizations with a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient approach to regulatory compliance and risk management. It incorporates and leverages nationally and internationally accepted standards, including ISO, NIST, and HIPAA, to ensure a unified approach to protecting sensitive information. 🏥 Why HITRUST is Vital for Nepal's Medical Industry: Enhanced Data Protection: HITRUST ensures that healthcare organizations implement rigorous security measures to protect patient data against breaches and unauthorized access. Regulatory Compliance: It helps organizations comply with various local and international regulations, fostering trust and transparency. Risk Management: By adopting HITRUST, healthcare providers can effectively identify, manage, and mitigate risks associated with data security. Patient Trust: Ensuring the security of patient information strengthens trust in healthcare providers, which is fundamental for patient care and satisfaction. Global Standards: Adhering to a globally recognized framework like HITRUST positions Nepal's medical industry on par with international standards, enhancing opportunities for global collaboration. As we move towards a more connected and data-driven healthcare ecosystem, prioritizing cybersecurity is not just an option—it's a necessity. By embracing HITRUST, we can safeguard our healthcare institutions, protect patient data, and ensure a secure and resilient healthcare system for all. Let's work together to build a safer digital future for Nepal's healthcare industry! #Cybersecurity #HITRUST #Healthcare #Nepal #DataProtection #MedicalIndustry #PatientSafety #DigitalHealth

Rootcode targets tenfold growth over the next decade Rootcode, a Sri Lankan-owned global software product engineering firm, is aiming to expand its business tenfold over the next decade, following its first ten years of growth, particularly in European and North American markets. The company, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last week at its Colombo headquarters, has set its sights on becoming a 1,000-employee firm in the next decade, said Rootcode Founder and CEO Alagan Mahalingam. “Most IT companies in Sri Lanka have foreign backing, but we have remained 100 percdent Sri Lankan-owned. Over the past 10 years, we’ve grown into a strong player in Europe and North America,” Mahalingam told journalists on the sidelines of the anniversary event.    “For the past two years, we maintained a team of 100 due to the global financial situation, but we’re now ready to scale up.”   Over the past decade, Rootcode has broadened its services across Europe, partnering with high-profile organisations such as the United Nations and Kendrion, a leading Dutch manufacturer of electromagnetic systems. The company now supports over 100 digital products, serving more than 30 industries globally, including agritech, healthcare, esports, e-commerce and e-governance.   One of Rootcode’s major achievements was securing a public tender from the Estonian government to develop an AI model training and deployment platform for key government services. Mahalingam noted that Rootcode was the first non-European company to win such a sensitive contract.   “This project helps direct citizens’ inquiries to the appropriate services. We competed with major European firms to win this tender, and I believe our proposal stood out,” Mahalingam said.   The platform is expected to be adopted by several Estonian institutions, including the Police and Border Guard Board and the Ministry of Education and Research. #SriLanka #startup #tech #AI #Rootcode #Estonia #EU https://lnkd.in/g4CHaDr8
