The company aims to become a diversified financial services provider across various segments. The mutual fund offering will be "quant-driven" and use only quantitative techniques without active management. The insurance venture will focus on health and motor insurance. InCred has identified an overseas partner for the joint venture, with the foreign entity expected to own around 24% of the business. The mutual fund will fall under InCred Money, which already has 250,000 customers and 20,000 daily users.
