CY12 turned out to be the second worst year for Sensex since 1980. India also turned out to be the 2nd worst performing
country amongst large Emerging markets in 2011. This was a year when the resilience of the Indian economy got challenged
by both internal and external factors.
Bulk of the pain was self-inflicted. Correction in markets in the last quarter was more due to India Specific Issues like lack of
policy measures, corruption and monetary tightening. GDP growth continues to come down. In foreign investors mind, there
were concerns about the mid-term direction this country is taking with increasing subsidies and populist measures.

We believe that going forward markets will reconcile to the fact        2011 - second worst yearly performance for BSE - Sensex

Equity Outlook

Globally, things are not as bad as perceived in August. In US, there is no double-dip recession. Fourth quarter GDP growth is
expected to be around 3.5%. The consumer spending, retail sales, ISM data and unemployment numbers have all been
resilient for last two months. We expect US growth to stay around 2% for 2012. In Europe, situation is slightly trickier.
Eurozone will see very low or negative growth for most of this year. The European central bank has started to provide long
tenor funding to European banks which could result in easing of liquidity in the European banking system. We believe the
situation in Europe will stay difficult but eventually all countries would move towards a more closer union. We don’t expect
any catastrophic event or a disorderly break-up of euro and any emergence of stress will see European central bank taking a
more proactive role.

The market correction in the last quarter in India has brought the equity valuation down to very attractive levels. The
markets are trading at a valuation of 12 times one year forward earnings. As the graph shows, in 2008, sensex went to 8000
levels and within six months, was back to 16,000. This time also, we expect the recovery to be very sharp once the global
volatility subsides and domestic growth bounces back.

We expect equity market returns of 20-25% in CY12 backed by 10-15% earnings growth and a P/E rerating of India from 12
to 14-15 once growth bounces back to 7%. We believe that markets are very close to the bottom and it is a great time to go
out and start building a long term equity portfolio.                                                                            9

                          We believe in the large sized opportunity presented by Pharma sector in India. India’s strength in

                                Commodity prices have corrected significantly over the last few months due to concerns

      • There has been a slight easing 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.

      • In the month of December Moody’s upgraded the credit rating of the Indian government's bonds
        from the speculative to investment grade which would in turn help attract Foreign Institutional

                           With the pause by RBI and the expected trend reversal of the
                           interest rates, we would not recommend investment in Shorter
Short Tenure               term debt funds unless money necessarily needs to be parked for
   Debt                    the shorter term by the investor. The ST funds still have high YTMs
                           (9.5% – 10%) providing interesting investment opportunities to
                           clients for the shorter term.



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



                          With the expected trend reversal in the interest rates, we would
                          strongly recommend investment in Longer term papers. These, while
 Long Tenure              being available at attractive yields, also provide an opportunity for
                          Capital appreciation due to a decrease in interest rates. Hence, these
    Debt
                          would be suitable for both - 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.
                                                                                                   13

Real Estate Outlook - I

Asset Classes                                                       Outlook
                In the residential space, low sales volumes have led to a sharp decline in the absorption rate from 21.4% in Q1
                2011 to 11.5% in Q3 2011. However, strong pre-launch sales have kept the developers far from any correction.
                Though sales have gone down to almost 35% as compared to last year, no correction has been witnessed in the
                prices. The over-supplied locations remain stagnant and are expected to remain so for the next two quarters. In
                cities like Pune, NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore entry points in the range of Rs. 3000 – Rs. 4600 per
 Residential
                Sqft are still valued by first time home -buyers. Infrastructure development and the new airports in these cities
                have supported the residential development. On an average, prices in this segment still remain affordable.
                Mumbai stands tall with prices at the peak in an over-supplied market also. Corrections are being reported by
                media, however not being witnessed on ground level. The retail investors (second home buyers) and HNI
                investors are postponing their decision due to expectations of price correction.
                Average q-o-q rental growth in 3Q11 was recorded at 2.5%. Mumbai SBD BKC was among the most expensive
                markets and Bangalore and Chennai among the least expensive in Asia Pacific, on the basis of Net Effective
                Rents. Among the fastest growing office market in the world, India is constructing 100 million Sqft every 7-10
                quarters. Office stock is expected to become 500 million Sqft by 2015. The Net Absorption is expected to grow
                from 30.5 million Sqft in 2010 to 39.1 million Sqft in 2013. Absorption rate has been recorded at 13.3% in 3Q11.
                8.5 million Sqft of office space was absorbed in 3Q11 compared to 10.5 million sq ft in 2Q11.

Commercial/IT   Still in the shadows of over-supply and cautious expansion approach by corporates, this segment has gone
                through a correction. Rates per Sqft have seen almost 30% down-trend and is expected to be stagnant for the
                coming 2-3 quarters. After this correction we believe the segment is bottoming out and is the best time to buy
                for companies looking at long term holding of real estate office space. With signs of recovery in the global
                economy, the Indian office markets are expected to be nearing the end of the downturn. Despite improving
                demand conditions, vacancies are rising in the short term due to massive infusion of office space. Markets of
                Bangalore, Mumbai and NCR-Delhi are leading the property cycle as rentals have started to increase in these
                markets.

                            The FDI allowance has given lot of impetus to this sector. Since 2009 retail has seen a major transformation in all
                            its business aspects and has been built to suit Indian way of consumerism. Low cost, wide reach, more variety,
                            less innovation, close existence with competition, maximizing bottom line than top-line approach have been
                            making the retailers smarter. In the retail space, unorganized markets are still a preferred choice. Most high-
                            street locations are still expensive. Investors prefer Hi-street locations than malls since they would always have
                            capital appreciation due to dearth of available space.
        Retail
                            Of 9.9 mn sq ft forecasted for absorption in 2011, 7.1 mn sq ft has already been absorbed till 3Q11 and another
                            1.3 mn sq ft is pre-committed. The northern regions of India rate high on propensity to consume followed by the
                            western, eastern and southern regions. Industrial towns are similar to each other in consumer preferences and
                            socio-economic & demographic profiles. Most of them remain equally under-served despite recent mall
                            developments in the last couple of years.
                            The trend of investment in land is still nascent since lack of transparency and unclear national land acquisition
                            policy/rules makes it tough for the organized players/investors to transact. However this seems to be a very
                            interesting time to buy land which is being traded more as a commodity now. It is getting absorbed fast. Land
         Land               sees immense opportunity since it can be used as a tangible asset and is the most credible pledge against
                            business. With the growing commitment of the Government in improving infrastructure (roads, bridges,
                            airports, rail metros), in the last 5 years many far flung areas now have very good connectivity to the CBD
                            locations.

Sovereign debt crisis in Europe, fragility of European to productivity remain in the west while China will continue to banks, worries of hard landing in China on the global front and policy struggle with its bridges-to-nowhere leading to NPAs in banking paralysis and pushback of even halfhearted reforms on the domestic front sector and over-dependence on exports. The likeliest scenario hence kept most investors nervous. Continued high incidence of domestic is things chugging along without major improvements or accidents. inflation clearly did not help, nor did the marked slowdown in domestic The risk appetite of global investors hence is likely to stay moderate. industrial activity during the second half of 2011. This was a good enough In the light of the above expectations, our ideas for 2012 are to recipe for a cautious investor sentiment for all risk assets and a general invest in Indian equities, long term Indian debt and multi-asset preference for debt – especially when, thanks to RBI, debt instruments portfolios. We also recommend taking some exposure to select were routinely returning 9% to 12% per annum. emerging market equities – especially the ones which are fiscally sound and have a neutral to positive current account viz.

  • 8. Equity Outlook CY12 turned out to be the second worst year for Sensex since 1980. India also turned out to be the 2nd worst performing country amongst large Emerging markets in 2011. This was a year when the resilience of the Indian economy got challenged by both internal and external factors. Bulk of the pain was self-inflicted. Correction in markets in the last quarter was more due to India Specific Issues like lack of policy measures, corruption and monetary tightening. GDP growth continues to come down. In foreign investors mind, there were concerns about the mid-term direction this country is taking with increasing subsidies and populist measures. We believe that going forward markets will reconcile to the fact 2011 - second worst yearly performance for BSE - Sensex that trend growth rate is coming down, and could settle at 6.5-7%. Returns (%) This could be the new normal for growth and is by global standards, not a bad number at all. We expect growth to bottom -20 & Below -20 & 0 0 & +20 20 to 50 50 & above out in Q1 CY12 at 6%. Corporate earnings should also bottom out 2008 2001 2002 1980 1988 around this time. We expect inflation would come down this year and could average around 7% leading to nominal growth of 13- 2011 1998 1982 1993 1981 14%. That would lead to corporate earnings growth of 15%. 1995 1987 1983 1990 1999 2000 1986 1984 1992 2003 We expect RBI is to start easing monetary policy on the back of slowing growth and easing inflation. There could be a total of 50- 1997 2005 2009 100bps reduction in interest rates during the year. Rupee has 2004 2006 1991 weakened significantly this year on the back of high current 2010 2007 1985 account deficit. Rupee was overvalued on trade weighted data and is now reaching fair valuation levels. We expect 50 to be the 1989 new normal for rupee and expect it to stay around these levels in 1994 CY12. Exporters will benefit big time from this rupee weakness. 8
  • 9. Equity Outlook Globally, things are not as bad as perceived in August. In US, there is no double-dip recession. Fourth quarter GDP growth is expected to be around 3.5%. The consumer spending, retail sales, ISM data and unemployment numbers have all been resilient for last two months. We expect US growth to stay around 2% for 2012. In Europe, situation is slightly trickier. Eurozone will see very low or negative growth for most of this year. The European central bank has started to provide long tenor funding to European banks which could result in easing of liquidity in the European banking system. We believe the situation in Europe will stay difficult but eventually all countries would move towards a more closer union. We don’t expect any catastrophic event or a disorderly break-up of euro and any emergence of stress will see European central bank taking a more proactive role. Sensex 22500 17500 12500 7500 02/Jan/07 02/Jan/08 02/Jan/09 02/Jan/10 02/Jan/11 The market correction in the last quarter in India has brought the equity valuation down to very attractive levels. The markets are trading at a valuation of 12 times one year forward earnings. As the graph shows, in 2008, sensex went to 8000 levels and within six months, was back to 16,000. This time also, we expect the recovery to be very sharp once the global volatility subsides and domestic growth bounces back. We expect equity market returns of 20-25% in CY12 backed by 10-15% earnings growth and a P/E rerating of India from 12 to 14-15 once growth bounces back to 7%. We believe that markets are very close to the bottom and it is a great time to go out and start building a long term equity portfolio. 9
  • 10. 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 Healthcare Overweight 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, FMCG Overweight as the growth in this segment will be disproportionately higher vis-à-vis the increase in disposable incomes. 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 BFSI Neutral in India has good 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 The regulatory hurdles, competitive pressures and leverage prevent any return to high Telecom Neutral profitability levels in the short to medium term. However, incumbents have started to increase tariffs slowly and we believe that consolidation will happen sooner than expected. While US and European customers of Indian IT companies are in good health, Order inflows IT/ITES Neutral might slow down in near term. However, in the next few quarters big rupee depreciation will provide cushion to IT companies earnings . 10
  • 11. Sector View Sector Stance Remarks Demand outlook remains robust with strong earnings growth. Raw material prices have Automobiles Neutral started coming down which would boost margins. We are more bullish on two-wheeler and agricultural vehicles segment due to lesser competition and higher pricing power. Commodity prices have corrected significantly over the last few months due to concerns Metals Neutral about growth in 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 characteristic of this space. This space provides steady growth Power Utilities Neutral in earnings and decent return on capital. Cement demand will certainly grow over the next three years. But the issue is on the supply Cement Underweight side. We do 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 E&C Underweight order inflow activity combined with high interest rates has hurt the sector. We will review the stance once the interest rate cycle gets reversed We would stay away from oil PSUs, due to issues of cross subsidization distorting the Energy Underweight underlying economics of oil exploration and refinery businesses. 11

  • 13. Debt Strategy Category Outlook Details With the pause by RBI and the expected trend reversal of the interest rates, we would not recommend investment in Shorter Short Tenure term debt funds unless money necessarily needs to be parked for Debt the shorter term by the investor. The ST funds still have high YTMs (9.5% – 10%) providing interesting investment opportunities to clients for the shorter term. Some AA and select A rated securities are very attractive at the current yields. A similar trend can be seen in the Fixed Deposits Credit also. Tight liquidity in the system has also contributed to widening of the spreads making entry at current levels attractive. With the expected trend reversal in the interest rates, we would strongly recommend investment in Longer term papers. These, while Long Tenure being available at attractive yields, also provide an opportunity for Capital appreciation due to a decrease in interest rates. Hence, these Debt would be suitable for both - 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. 13

  • 16. Real Estate Outlook - I Asset Classes Outlook In the residential space, low sales volumes have led to a sharp decline in the absorption rate from 21.4% in Q1 2011 to 11.5% in Q3 2011. However, strong pre-launch sales have kept the developers far from any correction. Though sales have gone down to almost 35% as compared to last year, no correction has been witnessed in the prices. The over-supplied locations remain stagnant and are expected to remain so for the next two quarters. In cities like Pune, NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore entry points in the range of Rs. 3000 – Rs. 4600 per Residential Sqft are still valued by first time home -buyers. Infrastructure development and the new airports in these cities have supported the residential development. On an average, prices in this segment still remain affordable. Mumbai stands tall with prices at the peak in an over-supplied market also. Corrections are being reported by media, however not being witnessed on ground level. The retail investors (second home buyers) and HNI investors are postponing their decision due to expectations of price correction. Average q-o-q rental growth in 3Q11 was recorded at 2.5%. Mumbai SBD BKC was among the most expensive markets and Bangalore and Chennai among the least expensive in Asia Pacific, on the basis of Net Effective Rents. Among the fastest growing office market in the world, India is constructing 100 million Sqft every 7-10 quarters. Office stock is expected to become 500 million Sqft by 2015. The Net Absorption is expected to grow from 30.5 million Sqft in 2010 to 39.1 million Sqft in 2013. Absorption rate has been recorded at 13.3% in 3Q11. 8.5 million Sqft of office space was absorbed in 3Q11 compared to 10.5 million sq ft in 2Q11. Commercial/IT Still in the shadows of over-supply and cautious expansion approach by corporates, this segment has gone through a correction. Rates per Sqft have seen almost 30% down-trend and is expected to be stagnant for the coming 2-3 quarters. After this correction we believe the segment is bottoming out and is the best time to buy for companies looking at long term holding of real estate office space. With signs of recovery in the global economy, the Indian office markets are expected to be nearing the end of the downturn. Despite improving demand conditions, vacancies are rising in the short term due to massive infusion of office space. Markets of Bangalore, Mumbai and NCR-Delhi are leading the property cycle as rentals have started to increase in these markets. 16
  • 17. Real Estate Outlook - II Asset Classes Outlook The FDI allowance has given lot of impetus to this sector. Since 2009 retail has seen a major transformation in all its business aspects and has been built to suit Indian way of consumerism. Low cost, wide reach, more variety, less innovation, close existence with competition, maximizing bottom line than top-line approach have been making the retailers smarter. In the retail space, unorganized markets are still a preferred choice. Most high- street locations are still expensive. Investors prefer Hi-street locations than malls since they would always have capital appreciation due to dearth of available space. Retail Of 9.9 mn sq ft forecasted for absorption in 2011, 7.1 mn sq ft has already been absorbed till 3Q11 and another 1.3 mn sq ft is pre-committed. The northern regions of India rate high on propensity to consume followed by the western, eastern and southern regions. Industrial towns are similar to each other in consumer preferences and socio-economic & demographic profiles. Most of them remain equally under-served despite recent mall developments in the last couple of years. The trend of investment in land is still nascent since lack of transparency and unclear national land acquisition policy/rules makes it tough for the organized players/investors to transact. However this seems to be a very interesting time to buy land which is being traded more as a commodity now. It is getting absorbed fast. Land Land sees immense opportunity since it can be used as a tangible asset and is the most credible pledge against business. With the growing commitment of the Government in improving infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, rail metros), in the last 5 years many far flung areas now have very good connectivity to the CBD locations.
