Key Reforms Measures introduced by the Government

Production Linked Incentive
Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code
Corporate Tax Rate
Goods & Services Tax
Land Reforms
Boost domestic manufacturing with an aim to bring import substitution &
increase Global Market Share
The Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code 2016 considered one of the biggest
insolvency reforms in India, enabled insolvency resolution in a time bound
manner
To encourage ‘Make in India’ policy, corporate tax rate was reduced from
25% to 15% for new manufacturing firms in line with other Asian
Countries
This tax, introduced in 2016, simplified tax system by subsuming all
indirect taxes which is easy to administer
Creation of Land banks to make land easily identifiable for industrial
projects coupled with provision of details about logistics

• Valuations – Equity Valuations are not cheap. Also, the way forward will depend on various macro factors
like inflation, interest rates, economic activity pick-up, timely vaccine roll-out, Global Central Banks fiscal
and monetary stance etc.
• Interest Rates – The interest rates are lower, hence debt as an asset class is expected to deliver average
returns
• Macro Uncertainty – In such a scenario of rising uncertainty with regards to various macro factors and low
interest rate environment, allocating funds in various asset classes is recommended
• The strategy of ICICI Prudential Multi-Asset Fund is to invest in various asset classes with an aim to provide:
 Capital appreciation by investing in equities,
 Consistent and Accrual returns by investing in debt,
 Hedge against inflation by investing in gold
 Yield enhancement by investing in REITs & InVITs and by writing covered call option.
• The scheme maintains its equity taxation* even after taking exposure to various asset classes
Our Equity Outlook
31
• Indian Economy is recovering better than Developed Nations post pandemic
• With Govt.’s focus mainly on Growth, we believe economic environment is becoming more conducive for a
Business Cycle recovery and hence for Equities
• We continue to remain positive on sectors which are closely linked to economy like Banks, Capital Goods,
Infrastructure, Metals/Mining etc.
• Market volatility too may continue given uncertainty related to COVID and Global Central Bank policies
• Macro economic environment is going to be critical and we may witness change in sectoral leaderships
• Recent market rally was narrow driven by select Growth stocks. Going forward, we expect broad-based
reasonably valued companies to perform
• We are in a boom phase and our recommendations can be summed up using the acronym A-B-C-D (Please
refer next slide for more details)

Credit Growth (YoY)
Impact Analysis on RBI Monetary Policy – April 2021
39
• Overall policy had a dovish bias
• We continue to believe for a gradual withdrawal of monetary stimulus
• The MPC dropped the time based guidance and instead focused on growth revival on a sustainable basis keeping in
mind the objective of inflation
• We believe the recent resurgence of COVID infection resulting in restriction in certain regions may delay the
economic recovery; however the extent of impact is still uncertain
• The growth uptick in the coming quarters would result in narrowing of the policy rate corridor
• The decision to conduct Variable Reverse Repo Rate (VRRR) auctions of longer maturity greater than existing 14-
day may help RBI to anchor the short term rates and in-turn may allow market to value short-term rates above the
reverse repo rate
• In an attempt to ensure orderly evolution of yield curve, RBI announced G-SAP 1.0 which may remain supportive for
longer term yields, and may result in flattening of the yield curve
MPC – Monetary Policy Committee. Source: RBI
Fixed Income Outlook
40
• The longer end of the yield curve came down sharply post the monetary policy, due to the measures announced by
MPC to support longer term yields.
• We believe aggressive vaccine roll-out measures, easy liquidity conditions and fiscal support may provide support
to growth recovery. This may come with risk of elevated inflation and likely interest rate volatility
• In our Outlook 2021*, we have highlighted that the capital gains strategy has played out meaningfully and going
forward return expectations need to be rationalized
• RBI expected to continue gradual normalization of liquidity management operations as the growth & economic
activity picks-up
• As communicated earlier, we believe that we are at the fag end of interest rate cycle and in the current phase,
more nimble and active duration management strategy is recommended to benefit from high term premium and
to manage portfolios from expected high interest rate sensitivity
• We continue to recommend Accrual strategy with an aim to benefit from higher carry
Term Premium is the premium of 10Yr G-Sec over 1Yr T-Bills. MPC – Monetary Policy Committee, RBI – Reserve Bank of India. *Please click on following link for detailed outlook 2021document –

Portfolio Positioning
46
• Across our portfolios we aim to manage duration actively
• In short duration schemes, we aim to run Barbell Strategy to benefit from term premium
and to reduce interest rate volatility
• In Schemes which aim to invest in short end of the yield curve, we have added
exposure towards Floating Rate Bonds (FRB)
• We have added good quality AA Corporate Bond in select portfolios, due to higher
spread premium
Why Active Duration now ?
47
• We are at the fag end of
interest rate cut cycle. Hence,
it is prudent to keep portfolios
nimble
• We expect interest rate
volatility due to moderation in
RBI stance on liquidity
• High term premium
(difference in yield between
the long and short end of the
curve) provides opportunity to
create returns by active
management of duration

  • 39. Impact Analysis on RBI Monetary Policy – April 2021 39 • Overall policy had a dovish bias • We continue to believe for a gradual withdrawal of monetary stimulus • The MPC dropped the time based guidance and instead focused on growth revival on a sustainable basis keeping in mind the objective of inflation • We believe the recent resurgence of COVID infection resulting in restriction in certain regions may delay the economic recovery; however the extent of impact is still uncertain • The growth uptick in the coming quarters would result in narrowing of the policy rate corridor • The decision to conduct Variable Reverse Repo Rate (VRRR) auctions of longer maturity greater than existing 14- day may help RBI to anchor the short term rates and in-turn may allow market to value short-term rates above the reverse repo rate • In an attempt to ensure orderly evolution of yield curve, RBI announced G-SAP 1.0 which may remain supportive for longer term yields, and may result in flattening of the yield curve MPC – Monetary Policy Committee. Source: RBI
  • 40. Fixed Income Outlook 40 • The longer end of the yield curve came down sharply post the monetary policy, due to the measures announced by MPC to support longer term yields. • We believe aggressive vaccine roll-out measures, easy liquidity conditions and fiscal support may provide support to growth recovery. This may come with risk of elevated inflation and likely interest rate volatility • In our Outlook 2021*, we have highlighted that the capital gains strategy has played out meaningfully and going forward return expectations need to be rationalized • RBI expected to continue gradual normalization of liquidity management operations as the growth & economic activity picks-up • As communicated earlier, we believe that we are at the fag end of interest rate cycle and in the current phase, more nimble and active duration management strategy is recommended to benefit from high term premium and to manage portfolios from expected high interest rate sensitivity • We continue to recommend Accrual strategy with an aim to benefit from higher carry Term Premium is the premium of 10Yr G-Sec over 1Yr T-Bills.

  • 46. Portfolio Positioning 46 • Across our portfolios we aim to manage duration actively • In short duration schemes, we aim to run Barbell Strategy to benefit from term premium and to reduce interest rate volatility • In Schemes which aim to invest in short end of the yield curve, we have added exposure towards Floating Rate Bonds (FRB) • We have added good quality AA Corporate Bond in select portfolios, due to higher spread premium
  • 47. Why Active Duration now ? 47 • We are at the fag end of interest rate cut cycle. Hence, it is prudent to keep portfolios nimble • We expect interest rate volatility due to moderation in RBI stance on liquidity • High term premium (difference in yield between the long and short end of the curve) provides opportunity to create returns by active management of duration
