Equity Outlook

The month of August witnessed the downgrading of US sovereign rating by S&P and renewed concerns on the fiscal health of euro zone
countries. This lead to huge bouts of volatility across the globe with equities undergoing a significant correction. On the domestic front,
as political energies were spent on addressing the anti-corruption movement, economic reforms have again moved away from
government’s radar screen. Indian markets saw significant redemption pressure from FIIs with a total outflow of Rs 12,500 crore.

Standard & Poor(S&P) downgraded the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+ in the first week of August. S&P expressed concern about the
long term sustainability of US debt and the political wrangling during the debt limit enhancement negotiations ahead of next year’s
presidential election. Growth continues to weaken in US with Q2 GDP number coming in below consensus expectations.

So far, there has been no announcement regarding the coming of Quantitative Easing (QE 3) although Fed Chairman continues to
mention that Fed has several tools available at their disposal to spur growth and they will use it as and when required. Central bank’s
policy panel will be having a two day meet in September where they will take a stock of the economy. For the time being, they expect
the fiscal policy to play more proactive role. So, all eyes are now on President Obama’s speech in September as he is expected to
announce some stimulus measure that could lead to job creation and continuation of tax benefits to individual tax holders.

In Europe, the fiscal situation of PIIGS countries continues to be fragile and it would require constant support from the European central
bank in the short to medium term. Growth continues to weaken in Germany and France. Last month saw fresh turbulence coming up in
debt markets of Italy & Spain. European governments could increase the size of European Financial stability fund (EFSF) in the months to
come and continue to buy sovereign bonds of Peripheral Eurozone countries which could help stabilize the debt markets. A durable
solution to the sovereign debt crisis still needs to be found.

In India, Q1 GDP data has come at 7.7%, slightly above expectations. We believe that Q2 data will be softer and could be closer to 7%.
RBI seems to be coming to an end of its interest rate tightening cycle although it could increase repo rates further by 25 bps in its policy
review on 16th September. We expect growth to recover in the second half of this fiscal with some revival in capital formation activity.
The recent correction has brought the equity valuation down to very attractive levels. With inflation and interest rates expected to peak
out in the next three months, the second half of this fiscal should be much better for Indian equity. Although short term volatility may
continue due to adverse global factors, we believe it is a great time to go out and start building a long term equity portfolio.

                             We believe in a 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 developed

                             Demand outlook remains robust with strong earnings growth despite raw material price hikes and

                             The USD 1 trillion Infra opportunity is hard to ignore. We believe Power sector to be a better play over

                             We recommend investment into short term bond funds with
                             a 6-12 month investment horizon as we expect them to
Short Tenure                 deliver superior returns due to high YTM. We have seen the
   Debt                      short term yields harden due to reduced liquidity and
                             consecutive rate hikes prompted by inflationary pressures. Till
                             these factors do not stabilize, we see Short term bond funds
                             and FMPs as an interesting investment option.


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


                            With inflationary pressure not easing, we expect more rate hikes
                            in the year though these may not be implemented immediately
 Long Tenure                and could be limited to a couple of hikes. Moreover, these hikes

  • 5. Economy Update - Global • With S&P lowering the long-term U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA-plus, the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had improved slightly in US July, plummeted in August. The Index now stands at 44.5, down from 59.2 in July. • The employment index slipped to 51.6, its lowest since September 2010, unemployment rate being 9.1% • Euro Area’s Markit composite purchasing managers index fell to 50.7 from 51.1 in July inching closer to the contraction phase.

  • 8. Equity Outlook The month of August witnessed the downgrading of US sovereign rating by S&P and renewed concerns on the fiscal health of euro zone countries. This lead to huge bouts of volatility across the globe with equities undergoing a significant correction. On the domestic front, as political energies were spent on addressing the anti-corruption movement, economic reforms have again moved away from government’s radar screen. Indian markets saw significant redemption pressure from FIIs with a total outflow of Rs 12,500 crore. Standard & Poor(S&P) downgraded the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+ in the first week of August. S&P expressed concern about the long term sustainability of US debt and the political wrangling during the debt limit enhancement negotiations ahead of next year’s presidential election. Growth continues to weaken in US with Q2 GDP number coming in below consensus expectations. So far, there has been no announcement regarding the coming of Quantitative Easing (QE 3) although Fed Chairman continues to mention that Fed has several tools available at their disposal to spur growth and they will use it as and when required. Central bank’s policy panel will be having a two day meet in September where they will take a stock of the economy. For the time being, they expect the fiscal policy to play more proactive role. So, all eyes are now on President Obama’s speech in September as he is expected to announce some stimulus measure that could lead to job creation and continuation of tax benefits to individual tax holders. In Europe, the fiscal situation of PIIGS countries continues to be fragile and it would require constant support from the European central bank in the short to medium term. Growth continues to weaken in Germany and France. Last month saw fresh turbulence coming up in debt markets of Italy & Spain. European governments could increase the size of European Financial stability fund (EFSF) in the months to come and continue to buy sovereign bonds of Peripheral Eurozone countries which could help stabilize the debt markets. A durable solution to the sovereign debt crisis still needs to be found. In India, Q1 GDP data has come at 7.7%, slightly above expectations. We believe that Q2 data will be softer and could be closer to 7%. RBI seems to be coming to an end of its interest rate tightening cycle although it could increase repo rates further by 25 bps in its policy review on 16th September. We expect growth to recover in the second half of this fiscal with some revival in capital formation activity. The recent correction has brought the equity valuation down to very attractive levels. With inflation and interest rates expected to peak out in the next three months, the second half of this fiscal should be much better for Indian equity. Although short term volatility may continue due to adverse global factors, we believe it is a great time to go out and start building a long term equity portfolio. 8
  • 9. Sector Outlook Sector Stance Remarks We believe in a 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 developed Healthcare Overweight 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 prefer “discretionary consumption” beneficiaries such as Cigarettes and branded garments, as the FMCG Overweight growth in this segment will be disproportionately higher vis-à-vis the increase in disposable incomes. 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 Neutral good asset quality and capital adequacy ratios. Despite the increasing in interest rates, we believe banks will be able to pass on higher cost of funds to clients as demand remains strong. Demand outlook remains robust with strong earnings growth despite raw material price hikes and Automobiles Neutral raging competition. We are more bullish on commercial vehicle and agricultural vehicles segment due to lesser competition and higher pricing power. The USD 1 trillion Infra opportunity is hard to ignore. We believe Power sector to be a better play over other sub sectors such as ports, roads and telecom infrastructure, because of favorable economics E&C Neutral under PPP model. Within power, we like the engineering companies over utilities, T&D and other infrastructure owners because of their superior profitability and better competitive dynamics. 9
  • 10. Sector Outlook Sector Stance Remarks The regulatory hurdles, competitive pressures and leverage prevent any return to high profitability Telecom Neutral levels in the short to medium term. However, incumbents have started to increase tariffs slowly and we believe that consolidation will happen sooner than expected. Commodity prices are coming under pressure due to concerns about growth in developed parts Metals Underweight of the world. Hence a cautious stance is recommended 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. IT space might come under pressure due to continued concerns about growth in developed parts IT/ITES Underweight of the world. While US and European customers of Indian IT companies are in good health, Order inflows might slow down in near term. Cement demand will certainly grow over the next three years. But the issue is on the supply side. Cement Underweight We do see an oversupply situation for the next 3-4 quarters. We like the growth prospects of power sector but believe that value will be created by Power Utilities Underweight engineering services providers. Merchant power rates have been sliding downwards and coal prices have been on the way up putting pressure on return ratios. 10

Debt Outlook 9.2 Yield curve 10-yr G-sec yield 9.0 8.60 8.40 8.8 8.20 8.00 8.6 7.80 8.4 7.60 7.40 (%) 8.2 7.20 8.0 7.00 6.80 7.8 0.0 0.9 1.8 2.7 3.5 4.4 5.3 6.2 7.1 8.0 8.8 9.7 10.6 11.5 12.4 13.3 14.1 15.0 15.9 16.8 17.7 18.5 19.4 • After consistent increase in the interest rates, moderation was seen in the interest rates in the last month. The benchmark 10 yr G-sec yield decreased from 8.45% in July ’11 to 8.33% in June’11. • The yields for the 2 year period saw a marginal increase while moderation was seen for all other tenors. Corporate bond yields also saw a marginal dip in interest rates in the month. • With no respite from the high inflation in spite of monetary tightening, we expect another 25 - 50 bps hike in the year. 11
  • 12. Debt Strategy Category Outlook Details We recommend investment into short term bond funds with a 6-12 month investment horizon as we expect them to Short Tenure deliver superior returns due to high YTM. We have seen the Debt short term yields harden due to reduced liquidity and consecutive rate hikes prompted by inflationary pressures. Till these factors do not stabilize, we see Short term bond funds and FMPs as an interesting investment option. Some AA and select A rated securities are very attractive at the current yields. A similar trend can be seen in the Fixed Credit Deposits also. Tight liquidity in the system has also contributed to widening of the spreads making entry at current levels attractive. With inflationary pressure not easing, we expect more rate hikes in the year though these may not be implemented immediately Long Tenure and could be limited to a couple of hikes. Moreover, these hikes are already expected and may get factored in. Hence, we have Debt changed our stance from negative to neutral and believe that it may be a good time to start looking for interesting investment opportunities in the medium term. 12
