8. Equity Outlook
Indian equity markets remained subdued last month. RBI hiked interest rates again, the third rates hike in last four months.
Global markets remained volatile due to further reduction in US Federal Reserve. The quantum of quantitative easing
(QE3) has been reduced to 65 billion dollars per month. There has been two consequent tapering actions in the last two
months due to strong macroeconomic recovery in United States. The revival of US growth is good news for global economy
and sooner or later, markets will start focusing on the positive side of reduction in monetary stimulus.
RBI Governor increased the repo rate by 25bps in the last policy review. Despite the recent cool-off in headline inflation
numbers, the stickiness in core CPI has been worrisome. RBI seems to have clearly endorsed Dr. Urijit Patel Committee
recommendations for a ‘glide path’ to disinflation. RBI will be targeting to reduce headline CPI to 8% by January 2015. We
expect RBI to maintain a hawkish stance to achieve these objectives as a significant drop in inflation appears unlikely in the
short term.
GDP growth in the last two quarters has remained below 5%. The slowdown is expected to have continued in third quarter
also. Manufacturing sector remains extremely weak and there are no signs of revival in industrial activity. RBI believes that
expected pick-up in agriculture should provide some support to growth.
8

9. Equity Outlook
The emphasis on core CPI as an inflation metric has become the cornerstone of India’s new monetary policy under
Governor Rajan. It is interesting to see RBI link rupee devaluation to CPI inflation. The current account deficit for FY14 is
now expected at 2.5% as compared to 4.8% in FY13. This puts India into a relatively comfortable position compared to
other emerging market peers given the uncertain external environment.
The political activity in the country is going to get more and more interesting as we approach the General elections
scheduled in May. The recent opinion polls indicate support building up for NDA lead by Narendra Modi, which is being
taken positively by equity markets.
The quarterly earnings have been largely in-line with expectations. While IT, Healthcare & telecom sectors have
delivered strong earnings growth, some banks have shown further deterioration in asset quality. Currently, Public sector
banks are trading at quite cheap valuations and we expect significant outperformance from that space in the next two to
three years. We expect export oriented sectors like IT & healthcare to continue to benefit from the significant rupee
depreciation seen last year. Telecom is another sector which might deliver strong earnings due to return of pricing power
& reduction in competitive intensity. We maintain our year-end Sensex target of 24,800 and are aggressive buyers of
Indian equity.

10. Sector View
Sector
Stance
Remarks
Overweight
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
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.
Telecom
Overweight
The regulatory hurdles and competitive pressures seem to be reducing. Incumbents have started
to increase tariffs slowly and pricing power is returning. We believe that consolidation will happen
sooner than expected.
IT/ITES
Overweight
Demand seems to be coming back in US. North American volume growth has also remained
resilient. With significant rupee depreciation in the last few months, margins will get a boost.
BFSI
Neutral
The recent rate hikes will cause pressure on asset quality in the short term. We expect public
sector to significantly outperform private sector due to cheap valuations and stabilization in asset
quality.
Power Utilities
Neutral
We like the regulated return characteristic of this space. This space provides steady growth in
earnings and decent return on capital.
Healthcare

Stance
Remarks
Automobiles
Neutral
We are positive on SUV’s and agricultural vehicles segment due to lesser competition and higher
pricing power.
FMCG
Neutral
We like the secular consumption theme. We prefer “discretionary consumption” beneficiaries such
as Cigarettes, IT hardware, durables and branded garments, as the growth in this segment will be
disproportionately higher vis-à-vis the increase in disposable incomes.
E&C
Underweight
The significant slowdown in order inflow activity combined with lack of demand has hurt the sector.
It will take some time before capex activity revives
Energy
Underweight
With the ongoing price deregulation of diesel, we believe the total subsidy burden on Oil PSU’s will
come down during the course of the year. However, rupee depreciation will reverse most of those
gains.
Metals
Underweight
Steel companies will benefit because of rupee depreciation. However, commodity demand stays
demand globally due to low capex activity
Cement
Underweight
Cement industry is facing over capacity issues and lacklustre demand. With regulator taking a
strong view against pricing discipline, the profits of the sector are expected to stay muted.

• The yields on 10 Yr Gsec crossed 9% mark due to fear of Fed tapering and additional borrowing by Government of India
which let to spread contraction between corporate bonds and sovereign bonds.
• Bond yields have risen over last few days also due to the overhang from Urjit Patel Committee recommendations combined
with recent renewed emerging market fears.
• During the month, The RBI surprised by hiking repo rate by 25 bps today to 8%. Correspondingly, the reverse repo and MSF
rates have also been hiked to 7% and 9% respectively. All other rates were kept unchanged
• Year 2013 had been a wild ride for bond markets. It witnessed the highest levels of volatility in bond yields in four years.
The 10-year government bond yield, which started the year at eight per cent, saw a low of about seven per cent and then a
high of 9.5 per cent, before cooling towards the year-end.

Outlook
Details
With the current 25 bps repo rate hike and influence of domestic and global factors
in the market, some uncertainty is coupled with the interest rate scenario in the
coming quarters, hence, we would suggest to invest in and hold on to current
investments in short term debt. Due to liquidity pressures increasing in the market
as RBI 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. Tight liquidity in the system has
also contributed to widening of the spreads making entry at current levels attractive.
Our recommendations regarding long term debt is neither buy nor sell for now. And
after the volatility settles Investors could look to add to dynamic and medium to long
term income funds over the next few months. Long term debt is likely to see capital
appreciation owing to the expected monetary easing. There is lesser probability of rate
cuts in the near future and there could be a lot of volatility in the g-sec yields as well.
An important point to note is that as commodity prices are cooling down, current
account deficit may reduce to some extent. But all this is coupled with uncertainty. We
suggest matching risk appetite and investment horizon to fund selection. Hence we
recommend that if investing for a period of 2 years or above then long term can be
looked upon or else holding/profit booking could be a good idea. 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 can also invest in longer

• The Indian Rupee appreciated against all the four major currencies in
the last month. It saw a depreciation of 0.5% against USD, 1.28%
against Japanese Yen & 2.2% against GBP.
• While emerging market jittered in the last week of Jan, with sharp
falls in the Argentinean peso and the Turkish lira, the Fed's
announcement has clearly spread the impact wider. Strikingly, while
the Indian rupee was amongst the hardest-hit currencies when the
idea of a taper first emerged last May, it has been amongst the most
stable this time around due to a rise in the interest rates that could
accelerate foreign fund flows into Indian debt.
• Rupee fell to near 62 against dollar on QE cut. To guard itself from
any selling, unlike Argentina, who had spent almost $4.5bn last year
to defend peso from falling, RBI has also built its foreign exchange
kitty. Currently India's foreign exchange reserves are at $292 billion.
Next, India is also making a conscious effort to bring down its fiscal
deficit.
Exports during December, 2013 were valued at US $ 26.35bn which
was 3.49% higher than the level of US $ 25.46 bn during December,
2012. Imports during December,2013 were valued at US $ 36.49 Bn
representing a negative growth of 15.25% over the level of imports
valued at US $ 43.05 Bn in December 2012 translating into a trade
deficit of $10.14 Bn.

• We expect factors such as higher interest rates to attract more
investments to India. Increased limits for investment by FIIs
would also help in bringing in more funds though uncertainty in
the global markets could prove to be a dampener.

Precious
Metals
Given the sharp sell off last year, the global commodity
indices increased their 2014 weightage to the bullions
given the attractive risk reward ratio. It seems that gold has
moved past the tapering concerns given the macro
uncertainties surrounding the world and safe haven is back.
The sharp fell off in emerging market currencies and slew
of central bankers surprising with rate hikes supports a
bullish argument for the metal. The talks of India relaxing
the import norms and reducing the custom duty further
kept prices elevated in anticipation of demand spike that
was largely absent last year. Expect prices to remain.
