Equity Outlook

The month of November saw a sharp fall of ten percent in Indian equity markets. There was significant amount of volatility on the
back of fresh concerns about the fiscal health of Euro area countries. FIIs sold almost a billion dollars worth of their holdings. Rupee
weakened sharply against the dollar which added to the nervousness.
In Europe, sentiment turned for the worse after the German bond auction received a poor response. There were concerns that the
financial health of peripheral euro area countries has started affecting even the core of Germany and France. The French bond yields
have continued to spike and the spread between French and German yields in now close to 2%. There is an increasing amount of talk
about French rating being downgraded. The five and ten year Italian bond yields have spiked up and remained above 7%. Italy is
facing an enormous amount to pressure to cut its deficit and saw a new government being sworn in. However, investors continue to
wait for a definitive move towards the euro bonds barring which volatility in Europe might continue for an elongated period of time.
Final number for third quarter GDP data in US came in at 2%, below the earlier estimated 2.5%. Macro-economic indicators in US
continue to be positive and have eased concerns about US economy moving towards a double-dip recession. US consumer demand
has been holding up so far and the Black Friday retail sales numbers where quite impressive. The ISM manufacturing index for
November came in at 52.7 which shows robust growth. As of now, there are no indicators of any recessionary trend in US economy.
The second quarter GDP growth rate in India came in at 6.9%, lowest in nine quarters. This number has confirmed a significant
slowdown in manufacturing and industrial activity in the country. We expect the growth to weaken further in next quarter. RBI has
effectively hiked rates by 500 bps in last sixteen months and that is showing in the growth numbers. We believe that RBI would refrain
from any further tightening and weak growth numbers would force RBI to start the easing cycle earlier than expected. Considering a
very tight liquidity scenario, a CRR cut is a distinct possibility.

 The rupee continued its slide to 52.5 before RBI invented to provide some stability. Rupee has been one of the worst performing
Asian currency due to high current account deficit that the country is running. We believe that the current rupee levels provide a very
exciting entry opportunity in equity markets for dollar investors. The last set of second quarter earnings were disappointing. Rupee
depreciation has also resulted in forex losses. Several companies have seen a huge hit to bottom lines due to high interest rates and
commodity prices. We expect the softness in earnings to remain for at least one more quarter. However, Markets have already
discounted a lot of potential negatives and further correction in stock prices might be limited.

While interest rate and inflation cycle might turn for the positive in next few months, Global cues will play an important role in
deciding the market direction in the short term.

                             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. We would bet on the opportunity in Generics and CRAMS space


                             We prefer “discretionary consumption” beneficiaries such as Cigarettes and branded garments, as the growth

                             Financial sector is undeniably the lubricant for economic growth. Whether the growth comes from
                             consumption or investments, credit growth is inevitable. Being a well regulated sector, BFSI in India has good
BFSI             Neutral     asset quality and capital adequacy ratios. Despite the increasing in interest rates, we believe banks will be

                             Demand outlook remains robust with strong earnings growth. Raw material prices have started coming

                             due to lesser competition and higher pricing power.

                             The regulatory hurdles, competitive pressures and leverage prevent any return to high profitability levels in
                             the short to medium term. However, incumbents have started to increase tariffs slowly and we believe that

                                 Commodity prices have corrected significantly over the last few months due to concerns about growth in
Metals               Neutral     developed parts of the world. We believe the commodity prices will bounce back once growth recovers
                                 and hence would be positive on industrial metals space.

                                 We like the regulated return charteristci of this space. This space provides steady growth in earnings and

                                 IT space might come under pressure due to continued concerns about growth in developed parts of the

                                 We would stay away from oil PSUs, due to issues of cross subsidization distorting the underlying

                                 Cement demand will certainly grow over the next three years. But the issue is on the supply side. We do
Cement             Underweight   see an oversupply situation for the next 3-4 quarters.

                                 The USD 1 trillion Infra opportunity is hard to ignore. However, The significant slowdown in order inflow
                                 activity combined with high interest rates has hurt the sector. We will review the stance once the interest

                             We recommend investment into short term bond funds with
                             a 6-12 month investment horizon as we expect them to
Short Tenure                 deliver superior returns due to high YTM. We have seen the
   Debt                      short term yields harden due to reduced liquidity and
                             consecutive rate hikes prompted by inflationary pressures. Till
                             these factors do not stabilize, we see Short term bond funds
                             and FMPs as an interesting investment option.


                             Some AA and select A rated securities are very attractive at
                             the current yields. A similar trend can be seen in the Fixed
   Credit                    Deposits also. Tight liquidity in the system has also
                             contributed to widening of the spreads making entry at
                             current levels attractive.


                            RBI hiked the interest rates for the 13th time since march 2010 by
                            25 Bps, the repo rate now stands at 8.5% and reverse repo at
 Long Tenure                7.5%. RBI has shown an intention to pause further rate hikes.
                            Our stance on long term debt remains neutral and we believe
    Debt
                            that it may be a good time to start looking for interesting
                            investment opportunities in the medium term.

This is precisely what makes us worry about the future of Euro be asking is “will the Euro survive?” We believe that Euro’s survival has – and there is that small chance that the Germans may push their become less certain than it was a month ago. Most of this is owing to fiscal prudence plans a little too far. This is what might cause the the absence of a Fed-like response in Euro-zone to the present crisis. break-up of the Euro. This goes back to the deep-rooted ideological differences amongst the Anglo-Saxon economies and Germany. While the former believe in the The Indian domestic market sentiment has been less than efficacy of monetary policy in managing the fallouts of crises, the latter cheerful due to the political logjam over retail FDI. The volte-face insists on fiscal prudence as the primary solution to the present crisis. by the opposition on their stance about retail FDI reminds us of Hence the western economists and leaders are busy cooking up one the age-old tendency within Indian politics for the opposition to idea after another of how Eurozone can go about fighting the crisis oppose everything nearly blindly. How the government deals with with monetary policy tools – including Eurobonds, ECB’s Euro-printing this set-back and how much of its new-found resolve to continue and mutualization of sovereign debt within Eurozone.

We with more debt as well as continuing with “financialization” which expect a muddle-through scenario to continue for the next few started most of the trouble in the first place. Apparently frustrated months. with Germany’s resolve to avoid printing of Euro by ECB, the group of 6 central banks went ahead and offered low cost dollar credit lines to Inflation has fortunately remained out of the limelight – with the European banks. This did prop up equity markets globally towards the RBI governor explicitly predicting a fall in inflation by the end of end of November – also fuelling speculation that the end might be in FY12.

  • 8. Equity Outlook The month of November saw a sharp fall of ten percent in Indian equity markets. There was significant amount of volatility on the back of fresh concerns about the fiscal health of Euro area countries. FIIs sold almost a billion dollars worth of their holdings. Rupee weakened sharply against the dollar which added to the nervousness. In Europe, sentiment turned for the worse after the German bond auction received a poor response. There were concerns that the financial health of peripheral euro area countries has started affecting even the core of Germany and France. The French bond yields have continued to spike and the spread between French and German yields in now close to 2%. There is an increasing amount of talk about French rating being downgraded. The five and ten year Italian bond yields have spiked up and remained above 7%. Italy is facing an enormous amount to pressure to cut its deficit and saw a new government being sworn in. However, investors continue to wait for a definitive move towards the euro bonds barring which volatility in Europe might continue for an elongated period of time. Final number for third quarter GDP data in US came in at 2%, below the earlier estimated 2.5%. Macro-economic indicators in US continue to be positive and have eased concerns about US economy moving towards a double-dip recession. US consumer demand has been holding up so far and the Black Friday retail sales numbers where quite impressive. The ISM manufacturing index for November came in at 52.7 which shows robust growth. As of now, there are no indicators of any recessionary trend in US economy. The second quarter GDP growth rate in India came in at 6.9%, lowest in nine quarters. This number has confirmed a significant slowdown in manufacturing and industrial activity in the country. We expect the growth to weaken further in next quarter. RBI has effectively hiked rates by 500 bps in last sixteen months and that is showing in the growth numbers. We believe that RBI would refrain from any further tightening and weak growth numbers would force RBI to start the easing cycle earlier than expected. Considering a very tight liquidity scenario, a CRR cut is a distinct possibility. The rupee continued its slide to 52.5 before RBI invented to provide some stability. Rupee has been one of the worst performing Asian currency due to high current account deficit that the country is running. We believe that the current rupee levels provide a very exciting entry opportunity in equity markets for dollar investors. The last set of second quarter earnings were disappointing. Rupee depreciation has also resulted in forex losses. Several companies have seen a huge hit to bottom lines due to high interest rates and commodity prices. We expect the softness in earnings to remain for at least one more quarter. However, Markets have already discounted a lot of potential negatives and further correction in stock prices might be limited. While interest rate and inflation cycle might turn for the positive in next few months, Global cues will play an important role in deciding the market direction in the short term. 8
  • 9. Sector View Sector Stance Remarks 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 Healthcare Overweight cusp of rapid growth. We would bet on the opportunity in Generics and CRAMS space We prefer “discretionary consumption” beneficiaries such as Cigarettes and branded garments, as the growth in this segment will be disproportionately higher vis-à-vis the increase in disposable incomes. FMCG Overweight Financial sector is undeniably the lubricant for economic growth. Whether the growth comes from consumption or investments, credit growth is inevitable. Being a well regulated sector, BFSI in India has good BFSI Neutral asset quality and capital adequacy ratios. Despite the increasing in interest rates, we believe banks will be able to pass on higher cost of funds to clients as demand remains strong Demand outlook remains robust with strong earnings growth. Raw material prices have started coming Automobiles Neutral down which would boost margins. We are more bullish on two-wheeler and agricultural vehicles segment due to lesser competition and higher pricing power. The regulatory hurdles, competitive pressures and leverage prevent any return to high profitability levels in the short to medium term. However, incumbents have started to increase tariffs slowly and we believe that Telecom Neutral consolidation will happen sooner than expected. 9
  • 10. Sector View Sector Stance Remarks Commodity prices have corrected significantly over the last few months due to concerns about growth in Metals Neutral developed parts of the world. We believe the commodity prices will bounce back once growth recovers and hence would be positive on industrial metals space. We like the regulated return charteristci of this space. This space provides steady growth in earnings and Power Utilities Neutral decent return on capital. IT space might come under pressure due to continued concerns about growth in developed parts of the IT/ITES Underweight world. While US and European customers of Indian IT companies are in good health, Order inflows might slow down in near term We would stay away from oil PSUs, due to issues of cross subsidization distorting the underlying Energy Underweight economics of oil exploration and refinery businesses. Cement demand will certainly grow over the next three years. But the issue is on the supply side. We do Cement Underweight see an oversupply situation for the next 3-4 quarters. The USD 1 trillion Infra opportunity is hard to ignore. However, The significant slowdown in order inflow activity combined with high interest rates has hurt the sector. We will review the stance once the interest E&C Underweight rate cycle gets reversed 10

The one year AAA rated corporate bond yields were at 9.8 percent while the ten year bonds traded at 9.89%. • Though no easing has been seen in the inflation figures, a pause is expected by the RBI and no hike may be seen in the immediate future though the central bank would monitor the inflation closely. • Advance tax outflows in December may tighten the liquidity in the system further and the bond market may witness temporary hardening of yields. 11
  • 12. Debt Strategy Category Outlook Details We recommend investment into short term bond funds with a 6-12 month investment horizon as we expect them to Short Tenure deliver superior returns due to high YTM. We have seen the Debt short term yields harden due to reduced liquidity and consecutive rate hikes prompted by inflationary pressures. Till these factors do not stabilize, we see Short term bond funds and FMPs as an interesting investment option. Some AA and select A rated securities are very attractive at the current yields. A similar trend can be seen in the Fixed Credit Deposits also. Tight liquidity in the system has also contributed to widening of the spreads making entry at current levels attractive. RBI hiked the interest rates for the 13th time since march 2010 by 25 Bps, the repo rate now stands at 8.5% and reverse repo at Long Tenure 7.5%. RBI has shown an intention to pause further rate hikes. Our stance on long term debt remains neutral and we believe Debt that it may be a good time to start looking for interesting investment opportunities in the medium term. 12
