A review of the asset markets in India - 2013
Asset market in its volatile best – no asset spared…
Equities have continued to perplex the
common man and seasoned investor alike,
leaving no arbitrage between the two.
Large caps have been highly volatile and
positive currently; mid-caps have still a lot
of value left.
Inverted yield curve means that short term
was better in 2013 than long duration.

Gold performed its worst medium term
performance by Indian standards; globally
there was a rout in the asset – falling over
20% in USD terms.

Are we already in the bull market and we don’t know about it?
Volatility precedes bull markets. 2001-03 was a
time which succeeded a period of agony, lackluster
returns and high volatility
Early period of the bull market appear like
mirage. In 2004-05, at every high point
appeared like pullback is eminent. Market
trudges higher every quarter with an occasional
pull back.
Not until we reach higher peaks that media and
general public proclaim “BULL Market”. But most of
the gains are skimmed, frenzy starts to kick in – time to
be selective.
Disbelief!!

Where is our safety net; why are we a unique market?
Safety Net #1
1/4th population of middle income earners – a potent force expected to
reach 1/3rd population by 2025
Safety Net #2
Highest amount of working class population and addition to workforce by
2030 in the world
Safety Net #3
Lowest age dependency ratio amongst the developing and developed
economies in the world
Safety Net #4
Households practically immune to world currency crises. Est. total
collective GOLD holdings (physical) ~ 22,000 tones = USD 1 Tr at current
prices
Safety Net #5
Staples such as Rice, Wheat, Fruits & Veggies and Cereals are NOT
imported and produced locally = food insecurity and inflation is temporary
Safety Net #6
Energy resources such as Oil and Gas are currency independent, policy
dependent = Iran accepts local currency /GOLD in event of a crises
Safety Net #7
Weak currency = higher exports = higher manufacturing. CAD is a
temporary phenomenon.

Next Bull market & Outlook for 2014 and beyond
Nifty target of around 7200 by December 2014, implying a 18% annual upside
- Factors taking Nifty higher to these levels include
- De-levered balance sheet of corporate India over the next twelve months
- Policy clarity driven by results of Lok-Sabha elections and next central government fomation
- Inflation fatigue due to high base on CPI and WPI indices and consequent softening of RBI stance on
tight monetary policy
- Availability of value picks in the large cap space (Index constituents) and higher value proposition in
the bigger mid-cap space
2013-2018 (medium term) outlook. ISRO the market!!!
- Corrective actions imminent after 5 years of flux, inactivity, low productivity and policy
paralysis
- Discretionary demand revival imminent due severe cut-back, higher savings and pent-up
demand outburst
- Strong investments uptick in spectrum of growth sectors – low ticket infrastructure (roads,
water projects, urban infra); capital goods and prosumer goods’ demand
- Strong Index movement based on favorable valuations and growth momentum pick up

Inflexion point: closer than we might think!
The foundation of a equity bull market lies in the following ingredients
Low inflation and sustainably comfortable interest rate outlook.
Policy clarity at local and national level
Easy access to capital, with growing/stable equity markets
Stable domestic currency outlook.
At this moment, it appears that none of the ingredients are present for making a bull market
recipe over the next several months/quarters. Before we jump – it is extremely important to put
the asset market cycle in perspective, explained in the next slide.
However, we believe that the next six months would take care of bullet # 2 and that could pave way
to bullet # 4.
Bullet # 1 & #3 could be the outcome of many things including cleansing of the system by severe stress that
the system has seen during 2011, 2012 and 2013, consequently leading to decade low GDP.
We believe, as a result, the turning point for Fixed income and equities market is expected in the
next few quarters.
