Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Key Triggers
• Global Economic data : World economy improving
• Resolution of NPA: Effective addressal of NCLT lists
• Weaker Rupee: To benefit IT and Pharma
• Monsoon/Rural recovery: Government focus on rural economy
including increase of MSP could benefit rural consumption
Positive Triggers
• FII Outflow from EM: US tax reforms and rising global rates could
trigger capital flight from Emerging Markets like India
• Earnings: Consensus expected earnings growth for domestic equities is
high at around 22% for FY19, any downgrade would make the valuations
more expensive
• Trade Wars: Further tariffs imposed by US/China and strict enforcement
of Iran sanctions
• Monetary Policy: Faster than expected monetary tightening in Europe
and US
• Weaker Macro: Higher crude prices and low GST collection could lead
to de-rating of Equity valuations
• Higher Provisioning : Due to recent RBI rule and continued slippages,
Banks could show high provisioning this FY also thus impacting Nifty EPS
• Elections: A combined opposition can be threat to BJP in next elections

India Equities: Valuations & Strategy – Maintain Neutral Stance
Nifty was flat for the month of June for the second consecutive month. However the midcap index once again saw a huge
divergence and lost ~4%. The month was driven by depreciation seen in INR which is down ~8% for 2018 and currently stands at
69/USD. Crude stood at $78/barrel much higher than comfort zone of $68/barrel. FIIs flows remained negative for the third month
in a row, however this was compensated by positive DII flows.
At current levels of approx. 11,008 (17th July 2018), Nifty is trading at a 1 year forward PE of 18.8X. In the current scenario, we
continue to maintain a Neutral stance..
Mutual Funds: As domestic liquidity continues to drive markets, we advise new investments to be staggered in Mutual Funds via
SIPs/STPs.
Recommended allocation within equity mutual funds is as under:
• 50% Large Cap allocation (Prefer Large Caps due to relatively Favorable Valuations)
• 50% Multi Cap allocation (such funds currently have a bias toward large cap)
• For investors who want equity exposure but have low appetite for volatility, they can take equity exposure through
Balanced Funds. Balanced funds have around 25% to 30% of their portfolio into Debt instruments which provides cushion
to the portfolio return during market volatility.

India Fixed Income: Strategy
Substantial part of the portfolio should be deployed through a mix of high rated and credit accrual strategies. Exit from duration
funds only for investors who have completed 3 years and can deploy with another 3 years view.
Investment Focus:
Passive Accrual-Oriented Debt funds
High quality portfolios (~100% AAA / Sovereign)
Portfolio is run on a passive accrual basis i.e buying a bond and holding it till maturity thereby earning from the accruing of
interest
Higher predictability of return, lower volatility & lower interest rate risk
High Yield Credit-Oriented Funds
Low volatility on account of maturity of portfolio between 3 – 5 years, attractive and stable accrual yields
Experienced teams to carefully evaluate and tightly monitor high yielding debt instruments
Short Term Bond Funds
Actively managed to run a low avg. maturity of 2-3 years, attractive risk-reward
Lower volatility and interest rate risk than Dynamic Bond Funds, better suited from a risk-adjusted basis in volatile markets
For investments up to 3 months, prefer Ultra Short Term Funds
For investments for atleast 6 months, prefer a mix of Ultra Short Term Funds and Arbitrage Funds.
