Equity Outlook

The month of April saw market staying range bound due adverse news flow about India. FII sold around 300mn$ worth of Indian
Equity. There were a lot of concerns about GAAR (General anti-avoidance rules) related to FII taxation. Also, absence of fuel price
deregulation also led to concerns about fiscal deficit.
We believe that most of the concerns are overdone. The GAAR issue should clarified within this month as the Finance bill will be put
in parliament. Monetary policy has remained extremely easy in developed part of the world and developing markets like China &
India have started the monetary easing cycle.




Finally, RBI started the monetary easing cycle with the first cut after eighteen months of tightening. With a 50bps repo rate cut, RBI
has clearly become less hawkish. With IIP data showing significant cool-off in manufacturing activity, RBI decided to give growth a big
thrust. Non-food manufactured products inflation, which was 8.4 per cent in November 2011, decelerated significantly to 5.8 per
cent in February and further to 4.7 per cent in March 2012 giving RBI the necessary cushion to cut. A slowdown in domestic demand
and softening of global non-oil commodity prices has led to reduction in non-food inflation which is expected to stay low in FY13
                                                                                                                                          8
Equity Outlook



RBI has guided for a FY13 GDP growth rate of 7.3% with an annual inflation target of 6.5% thus expecting a nominal GDP
growth rate of around 14%. We expect corporate earnings to grow between 15% as interest liability comes down and input
costs reduce due to fall in non-oil commodity prices.




European debt markets have calmed down due to massive liquidity injection (LTRO 1& 2) done by European central bank.
Bond yields of PIIGS countries have become stable except for Spain where to continue to move up. We believe that debt
markets in Europe will see more ECB intervention which will lead to decline in concerns about the stability of euro area.




The earnings season is going mostly on expected lines. More companies have surprised on the positive than on the
negative. The earnings growth has been led by Private sector banking and FMCG companies. With FY13 earnings at 1300
Rs, markets are now trading at 13 times one year forward which is cheap by historical standards. We believe that growth
will bounce back in second half of the year and current valuation provide an attractive entry point in the market.

                         The much awaited and expected trend reversal of the interest rates
                         starting with a 50 Bps rate cut, we would recommend investment in
Short Tenure             short term debt as further rate cuts are not going to be aggressive and
                         early too. Due to liquidity pressures increasing in the market as RBI
   Debt
                         has a huge borrowing plan, short term yields would remain higher.
                         Short Term funds still have high YTMs (9.5% – 10%) providing
                         interesting investment opportunities.


                         Some AA and select A rated securities are very attractive at the
                         current yields. A similar trend can be seen in the Fixed Deposits also.
   Credit                Tight liquidity in the system has also contributed to widening of the
                         spreads making entry at current levels attractive.


                         With the much awaited trend reversal in the interest rates coming as a
                         50 Bps rate cut and signals of no more cuts in near future, we would
                         recommend to hold on to the current investment for a horizon of 18-24
Long Tenure              months in Longer term papers and not to increase the exposure in the
   Debt                  same. These, while being available at attractive yields, also provide an
                         opportunity for Capital appreciation due to a decrease in interest rates.
                         Hence, these would be suitable for both - investors who may want to
                         stay invested for the medium term (exiting when prices appreciate) and
                         those who would want to lock in high yields for the longer term.
                                                                                                     13

  • 8. Equity Outlook The month of April saw market staying range bound due adverse news flow about India. FII sold around 300mn$ worth of Indian Equity. There were a lot of concerns about GAAR (General anti-avoidance rules) related to FII taxation. Also, absence of fuel price deregulation also led to concerns about fiscal deficit. We believe that most of the concerns are overdone. The GAAR issue should clarified within this month as the Finance bill will be put in parliament. Monetary policy has remained extremely easy in developed part of the world and developing markets like China & India have started the monetary easing cycle. Finally, RBI started the monetary easing cycle with the first cut after eighteen months of tightening. With a 50bps repo rate cut, RBI has clearly become less hawkish. With IIP data showing significant cool-off in manufacturing activity, RBI decided to give growth a big thrust. Non-food manufactured products inflation, which was 8.4 per cent in November 2011, decelerated significantly to 5.8 per cent in February and further to 4.7 per cent in March 2012 giving RBI the necessary cushion to cut. A slowdown in domestic demand and softening of global non-oil commodity prices has led to reduction in non-food inflation which is expected to stay low in FY13 8
  • 9. Equity Outlook RBI has guided for a FY13 GDP growth rate of 7.3% with an annual inflation target of 6.5% thus expecting a nominal GDP growth rate of around 14%. We expect corporate earnings to grow between 15% as interest liability comes down and input costs reduce due to fall in non-oil commodity prices. European debt markets have calmed down due to massive liquidity injection (LTRO 1& 2) done by European central bank. Bond yields of PIIGS countries have become stable except for Spain where to continue to move up. We believe that debt markets in Europe will see more ECB intervention which will lead to decline in concerns about the stability of euro area. The earnings season is going mostly on expected lines. More companies have surprised on the positive than on the negative. The earnings growth has been led by Private sector banking and FMCG companies. With FY13 earnings at 1300 Rs, markets are now trading at 13 times one year forward which is cheap by historical standards. We believe that growth will bounce back in second half of the year and current valuation provide an attractive entry point in the market. 9
  • 10. Sector View Sector Stance Remarks Financial sector is undeniably the lubricant for economic growth. Whether the growth comes from consumption or investments, credit growth is inevitable. Being a well regulated sector, BFSI in India has BFSI Overweight good asset quality and capital adequacy ratios. The reversal of the interest rate cycle will assist in managing asset quality better and would lead to increase in credit growth Demand outlook remains robust with strong earnings growth. Raw material prices have started coming down which would boost margins. The rate cuts have already started to trickle down. We are more Automobiles Overweight bullish on two-wheeler and agricultural vehicles segment due to lesser competition and higher pricing power. The USD 1 trillion Infra opportunity is hard to ignore. However, The significant slowdown in order inflow E&C Neutral activity combined with high interest rates has hurt the sector. Now since the interest rate cycle has started to reverse, we have turned more constructive on this space. We prefer “discretionary consumption” beneficiaries such as Cigarettes and branded garments, as the FMCG Neutral growth in this segment will be disproportionately higher vis-à-vis the increase in disposable incomes. The regulatory hurdles, competitive pressures and leverage prevent any return to high profitability levels Telecom Neutral in the short to medium term. However, incumbents have started to increase tariffs slowly and we believe that consolidation will happen sooner than expected. 10
  • 11. Sector View Sector Stance Remarks While US and European customers of Indian IT companies are in good health, Order inflows might slow IT/ITES Neutral down in near term. However, in the next few quarters big rupee depreciation will provide cushion to IT companies earnings . Commodity prices have corrected significantly over the last few months due to concerns about growth Metals Neutral in developed parts of the world. We believe the commodity prices will bounce back once growth recovers and hence would be positive on industrial metals space. Cement demand will certainly grow over the next three years. With pricing power returning, e are Cement Neutral becoming constructive on this space. We believe in the large sized opportunity presented by Pharma sector in India. India’s strength in generics is difficult to replicate due to quality and quantity of available skilled manpower. With the Healthcare Neutral developed world keen to cut healthcare costs, and a vast pipeline of drugs going off-patent, Indian pharma players are at the cusp of rapid growth. We would bet on the opportunity in Generics and CRAMS space We like the regulated return characteristics of this space. This space provides steady growth in Power Utilities Neutral earnings and decent return on capital. We would stay away from oil PSUs, due to issues of cross subsidization distorting the underlying Energy Underweight economics of oil exploration and refinery businesses. 11

But the yields bounced back by almost 30 bps to 8.67% on 30th April 2012 on account of expectations that the government may issue a new 10-year benchmark bond and the current security may turn illiquid soon. • The spread a 10 year AAA rated corporate bond offers has increased by 15 bps to 76 bps giving an yield of 9.44% as on 30th April 2012. 12
  • 13. Debt Strategy Category Outlook Details The much awaited and expected trend reversal of the interest rates starting with a 50 Bps rate cut, we would recommend investment in Short Tenure short term debt as further rate cuts are not going to be aggressive and early too. Due to liquidity pressures increasing in the market as RBI Debt has a huge borrowing plan, short term yields would remain higher. Short Term funds still have high YTMs (9.5% – 10%) providing interesting investment opportunities. Some AA and select A rated securities are very attractive at the current yields. A similar trend can be seen in the Fixed Deposits also. Credit Tight liquidity in the system has also contributed to widening of the spreads making entry at current levels attractive. With the much awaited trend reversal in the interest rates coming as a 50 Bps rate cut and signals of no more cuts in near future, we would recommend to hold on to the current investment for a horizon of 18-24 Long Tenure months in Longer term papers and not to increase the exposure in the Debt same. These, while being available at attractive yields, also provide an opportunity for Capital appreciation due to a decrease in interest rates. Hence, these would be suitable for both - investors who may want to stay invested for the medium term (exiting when prices appreciate) and those who would want to lock in high yields for the longer term. 13
