PROLOGUE
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” a very apt quote by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin that
perfectly fits recent market dynamics. Seems like yesterday when COVID crisis struck, globally affecting growth & inflation and Central Banks
tried supporting their economies by announcing stimulus packages. Not to forget the two wars (Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas) that are
adding to global supply chain woes
In our Annual Outlook for 2023 titled “Beginning of a new era”, we had highlighted how a new era of high inflation, high interest rates, geo-political
tensions and volatility has begun and that this will become the new norm. At that time there was uncertainty as to how India will navigate global
headwinds. One year down the line, Indian macros stay resilient amidst challenging global backdrop marking a ‘Paradigm Shift’ in domestic and
global trends
As we usher into the new year, we can sense an air of fragility in global macros, on the contrary India is breaking-out of the Frail economy tag
and is emerging as the growth engine for the world with resilient macros, favorable demographics, sustainable demand and structural
reforms. This marks a major ‘Paradigm Shift’ wherein global economies are turning fragile and Indian economy seems stronger than ever.

Summary and Our View
Currently seeing ‘A Paradigm Shift’ – Developed Economies getting weaker & Indian economy getting stronger
Although India’s Macros looks robust, valuations are not cheap. This warrants an investment approach in hybrid
and multi-asset allocation schemes which can dynamically manage exposure to various asset classes
2024 is expected to be a challenging year with valuations climbing higher due to front-ended returns. Hence in
outlook for 2024 our key recommendation for new investors for lumpsum remains Hybrid and Multi Asset
allocation schemes which can be opportunistic in reducing equity exposure or moving to other attractive asset
classes
For existing investors, we would recommend to stay invested as India’s long-term story remains intact. For
investors who wish to add equity should focus on schemes that has flexible investment mandate to move
between Market cap & Sectors
To conclude, we believe that the Paradigm Shift is likely to result in dynamic macros and this may lead to Hybrid
& Multi Asset Allocation schemes outperforming in coming years
In 2023, the markets focused on
the RBI and its policy actions to
manage the economy
After rate hikes and various measures,
we believe the focus is expected to shift to
fiscal policy in 2024.
MONETARY
FISCAL
Annual Fixed Income Outlook
A Paradigm Shift
The Year Gone By
Recap of Outlook 2023
India is in a moderate growth and moderate inflation environment. RBI is expected to move into
a neutral zone as the growth and inflation is in moderate zone.
With RBI hiking rates aggressively, the whole yield curve has shifted upwards, making the yield
on the fixed income space attractive.
Our model turned cautious on long-duration as the term premium remains low coupled with
less probability of rate cuts. Hence low to moderate duration is preferred.
WHAT WE SAID LAST YEAR?
That accrual income may drive returns going forward. Hence, we recommend schemes with
higher exposure to spread assets

Why we think we are in Expansion Phase?
Economic growth conditions are in a better shape and inflation is also in a tolerable range. This is
an indication of being in the Expansion Phase. If growth-inflation dynamics remain
favorable then there is a Low Probability of Rate Cuts.

Fiscal Deficit Path
Ideal vs. Actual
The 2003-08 period is a good example of fiscal deficit consolidation in the face of strong economic growth. Vice-versa,
higher fiscal spending is better reserved for times of low growth. Such a counter-cyclical approach is suitable for fiscal
prudence. In the current period, fiscal deficit gap has remained wide despite high tax collection and economic growth.

Outlook on Fixed Income
On monetary policy, we see a low chance of shift in policy stance as the impact of past rate hikes works its way
through the economy. The RBI’s intervention is needed only if growth-inflation dynamics diverge unfavorably.
We believe that monetary policy has done the heavy-lifting in managing the economy and the baton is now passed
on to the fiscal side where the deficit gap needs to be narrowed.
Global cues are expected to impact domestic macros bringing in a mixed bag - with optimism, fueled by a dovish US
Fed, and caution, as China stages recovery.
We expect liquidity conditions to remain tight as credit growth continues to expand.
Accruals may become attractive as corporates tap the bond market for capital. Active duration management is
also required as global cues impact domestic macros and long-term yields.

  • 7. Witness the Paradigm Shift, this New Year!
  • 8. 8 PROLOGUE “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” a very apt quote by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin that perfectly fits recent market dynamics. Seems like yesterday when COVID crisis struck, globally affecting growth & inflation and Central Banks tried supporting their economies by announcing stimulus packages. Not to forget the two wars (Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas) that are adding to global supply chain woes In our Annual Outlook for 2023 titled “Beginning of a new era”, we had highlighted how a new era of high inflation, high interest rates, geo-political tensions and volatility has begun and that this will become the new norm. At that time there was uncertainty as to how India will navigate global headwinds. One year down the line, Indian macros stay resilient amidst challenging global backdrop marking a ‘Paradigm Shift’ in domestic and global trends As we usher into the new year, we can sense an air of fragility in global macros, on the contrary India is breaking-out of the Frail economy tag and is emerging as the growth engine for the world with resilient macros, favorable demographics, sustainable demand and structural reforms. This marks a major ‘Paradigm Shift’ wherein global economies are turning fragile and Indian economy seems stronger than ever.

  • 32. 32 Summary and Our View Currently seeing ‘A Paradigm Shift’ – Developed Economies getting weaker & Indian economy getting stronger Although India’s Macros looks robust, valuations are not cheap. This warrants an investment approach in hybrid and multi-asset allocation schemes which can dynamically manage exposure to various asset classes 2024 is expected to be a challenging year with valuations climbing higher due to front-ended returns. Hence in outlook for 2024 our key recommendation for new investors for lumpsum remains Hybrid and Multi Asset allocation schemes which can be opportunistic in reducing equity exposure or moving to other attractive asset classes For existing investors, we would recommend to stay invested as India’s long-term story remains intact. For investors who wish to add equity should focus on schemes that has flexible investment mandate to move between Market cap & Sectors To conclude, we believe that the Paradigm Shift is likely to result in dynamic macros and this may lead to Hybrid & Multi Asset Allocation schemes outperforming in coming years

  • 34. The Year Gone By Recap of Outlook 2023 India is in a moderate growth and moderate inflation environment. RBI is expected to move into a neutral zone as the growth and inflation is in moderate zone. With RBI hiking rates aggressively, the whole yield curve has shifted upwards, making the yield on the fixed income space attractive. Our model turned cautious on long-duration as the term premium remains low coupled with less probability of rate cuts. Hence low to moderate duration is preferred. WHAT WE SAID LAST YEAR? That accrual income may drive returns going forward. Hence, we recommend schemes with higher exposure to spread assets 34

  • 39. Outlook on Fixed Income On monetary policy, we see a low chance of shift in policy stance as the impact of past rate hikes works its way through the economy. The RBI’s intervention is needed only if growth-inflation dynamics diverge unfavorably. We believe that monetary policy has done the heavy-lifting in managing the economy and the baton is now passed on to the fiscal side where the deficit gap needs to be narrowed. Global cues are expected to impact domestic macros bringing in a mixed bag - with optimism, fueled by a dovish US Fed, and caution, as China stages recovery. We expect liquidity conditions to remain tight as credit growth continues to expand. Accruals may become attractive as corporates tap the bond market for capital. Active duration management is also required as global cues impact domestic macros and long-term yields. 39
