Our View on Select Overweight & Underweight Sectors
• Software – Comfortable Valuations, Strong Balance Sheet, high cash to survive
disruption, global presence, better diversification and Good earnings visibility are few
factors that make this sector a value proposition
• Pharmaceuticals – Sector valuations are reasonable, has underperformed markets in
the recent past, earnings visibility is high and is a good defensive play in times of volatility
• Power – The sector is currently providing a good dividend yield, high earnings visibility
with attractive valuations and companies within the sector are Fixed ROE (Return on
Equity) business
• Banking & Financials – The scheme is underweight on this sector as valuations are
high, the sector represents almost 40% of the broader index and the economic slowdown
due to COVID-19 may hurt the sector due to higher NPA (Non-Performing Assets and lower
NIM (Net Interest Margin)

Our Equity Outlook
• Historically, financial crisis have generally occurred due to endogenous factors – economic imbalances like high crude prices, high
inflation, etc. This time it is different since macros being stable, the current crisis is the result of an external factor i.e. COVID-19
• India’s long term growth story remains intact since it is better placed in terms of fundamentals
• We believe, Emerging Markets have the potential to recover better than Developed Markets & that Value as a theme performs better
than Growth during recovery phase. Hence, we recommend investing in ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund
• Owing to the temporary economic crisis due to COVID-19, we recommend investing in ICICI Prudential India Opportunities Fund
• Given further uncertainty regarding the spread of COVID-19, volatility is expected to prevail. We recommend investing in ICICI
Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund to manage volatility
• We remain positive on the Smallcap space as valuations are reasonable & recommend investing in ICICI Prudential Smallcap Fund
• Post any crisis, sectoral leadership has changed in the past. Aim to invest in future potential leaders through ICICI Prudential
Focused Equity Fund

Reviving growth
We believe we are in the end of Step 1 and entering Step 2, let us look at this in detail

34
Step 1 : Flush the system with liquidity
The RBI has ensured abundant liquidity in the system. But the risk capital needs to improve so that the money

Step 2 : Improve Risk Capital in the System
TLTRO – Targeted Long Term Repo Operation, NBFC – Non Banking Financial Company, HFC – Housing Finance Company, RBI - Reserve Bank of India
We believe, this is an important step and the background is set for RBI to enter Step 2 where the
focus would be to improve the risk capital. Lets look at steps taken and expected by RBI:
Steps Taken:
• TLTRO windows to address the
dislocated corporate bonds
• TLTRO 2.0 to encourage banks to fund
stressed sector (NBFC/ HFC)
• Cutting Reverse Repo Rates
aggressively compared to Repo rate
Steps Expected:
• Putting a cap on the reverse repo
transaction
• Aggressive Open Market Operations
• RBI buying bonds directly from government
• Increase in HTM (Hold to Maturity) limit of
bonds for banks

36
Step 3 : Reviving Growth
This phase starts, when the interest rates bottom out and the regime of low interest rates prevails for sometime. The risk
capital increases and the credit growth starts to pick up resulting in improvement in the economic activity
Credit growth continues to
lag the deposit growth,
highlighting that the
economic activity is muted
due to COVID-19 conditions

Fixed Income Outlook
• We expect growth and inflation to come down, which may provide further headroom to RBI to cut rates. RBI is expected to
continue its accommodative stance
• We are comfortable with govt. measures to combat COVID-19 economic impact due to the absence of credit demand (No
crowding out effect). Expectations of RBI monetizing the fiscal deficit should keep G-Sec yields in check
• Keeping the above points in mind, we are bullish on duration and added duration across our portfolios
• The yield curve continues to remain steep due to high risk aversion, this makes the short and medium segment of the yield
curve attractive, as they provide good risk reward benefit
• We continue to remain positive on the accrual space, the space remains attractive due to Valuation Comfort ( High spread
between Accrual schemes and repo), Negative Sentiments associated with the accrual space and negative industry flows
provides a good margin of safety
• We continue to stick to our strong Credit selection process and we remain cognizant of managing the liquidity, concentration,
credit and duration in our fixed income portfolios to provide investors with better risk adjusted returns.
