DEBT AND EQUITY

Debt: In a debt investment, typically an investor lends money to an individual, a company or a government atpredetermined interest rate/coupon. The interest rate/coupon may be fixed or floating. The investor tymcally -

» Earns predefined coupon/interest (fixed or floating) on principal amount.» Experiences relatively lesser volatility as compared to equity (based on historical data).» Deals with Interest rate and reinvestment risk.» Does not participate in the growth of the organization that has borrowed.

Equity: In an equity investment, the investor typically purchase shares of company in anticipation of capitalgains and/or dividend income. Equity investments are often characterized as high risk-high return and mayalso act as a hedge against inflation due to the potential for relatively higher returns over longerterm.The investor typically -

» Participates directly in the growth of the organization.» Receives no assured returns.» Experiences relatively higher volatility as compared to debt.

• Diversification is a widely known investment strategy that is intended to helpmitigate the risk associated with unpredictability of markets. It tends to beespecially important during times of increased uncertainty.

• Key benefits may include - reducing portfolio volatility.• Diversification is typically achieved by combining two or more assets that have

low correlation.• The lower the correlation between assets, the greater potential reduction in risk

that can be derived.

DECIDING ON THE ASSET ALLOCATION

Apart from a few other factors, asset allocation often results from overall balancingamong the following considerations:1. Goals -Includes long term objectives e.g. - meet liabilities.2. Time horizon - The investor often seeks to balance longer term objectives with

shorter term considerations. Generally, time horizons include a minimum of one ormore than one market cycle i.e. 3 to 5 years, to allow sufficient time for a givenasset allocation strategy to work through a market cycle. -,

3. Risk tolerance level -An investor defines the level of risk s/he is willing to take inan effort to generate returns .

The First Value Date is the first day for which there Is a calculated value (either live orback-tested) for a given index. The Base Date is the date at which the Index is set at a fixed value for calculation purposes. The Launch Date deSignates the date upon which thevalues of an index are first considered live: index values provided for any date or time period prior to the index's Launch Date are considered back-tested. AlPL defines the LaunchDate as the date by which the values of an index are known to have been released to the public, for example via the company's public website or its data feed to external parties.

Past performance of the Index is not an indication of future results. Prospective application of the methodology used to construct the Index may not result In performancecommensurate with the back-test returns shown. The back-test period does not necessarily correspond to the entire available history of the Index. Please refer to the methodologypaper for the Index, available at www.spdji.com and www.asiaindex.co.in for more details about the index, including the manner in which it is rebalanced, the timing of suchrebalancing, criteria for additions and deletions, as well as all index calculations. '

Another limitation of using back-tested information is that the back-tested calculation is generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Back-tested Information reflects theapplication of the index methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in aCtual trading.For example, there are numerous factors related to the equities, fixed income, or commodities markets in general which cannot be, and have not been accounted for in thepreparation of the index information set forth, all of which can affect actual performance.

r

Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investable assets/securities. It is not possible to invest direcUy in an index. AIPL or its agent maintajac:UBSE Indices and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any salesfees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the Index. Theand charges would cause actual and back-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the Index performance shown. As a simpleon a US $100,000 investment for a 12-month period (or US $10,000) and an actual asset-based fee of 1.5% was imposed at the end of the period oninterest (or US $1,650), the net return would be 8.35% (or US $8,350) for the year. Over a three year period, an annual 1.5% fee taken at yearendyear would result in a cumulative gross return of 33.10%, a total fee of US $5,375, and a cumulative net retu"!. Qf~7.2% (or US $27,200).

returns, and have the highest probability of making returns over 10% CAGR

No need of market timing as a staggered investment strategy removes emotion out of investing.

Staggered purchases more units when the prices are low and less units when the prices are high.

• Characteristics of Shares

• Role of Shares in Long Term Investments.• Implementation of Share Investment in EPFO

• Recommendations

CHARACTERISTICS OF SHARES• Shares represent OWNERSHIP of the Company

- Shares are not money lent to the Comp-any• Shares are LONG TERM investments

- Accounting Basics:Companies are a "Going Concern"- No Terminal (Maturity Date) for Shares

• No Guarantee of Fixed Return (e.g. Interest on Bonds orDividend on Preference Shares)- Dividend Payments depend on company performance

• As SharehoJde s, we are LASTin the line for Cash Flow of thecompany after: Employees (Salaries), Banks (Interest) andGovernment ( axes)

• 501 what Shar holders are entitled to?CAPITAL GAINS B MEANS OF SHARE PRICEAPPRECIATION IFTHE COMPANY P RFORMS WELL AND GROWS WITH TIME

SHARES AS LONG TERM· INVESTMENTSENSEXRETURNS,Starting, 31st December YEAR,Ending 31st December 2015--. • Dividends add about 1..2% to the return

HOLDINGPERIOD

Peri '""

As can be seen, with long holdingperiod, Share Market.has givensignificantly more return than FixedIncome investment such asGovernment Securities or Debentures

Implementation of Share Investmentin EPFO

• Share Investments should initially form a,smallportion of the overalJinvestment

• It should be gradually increa·sedwith time• 'It should be increased in weak market periods

This helps to acquire shares at low price

• EPFO must adopt a LONG TERM Jnvestrnentapproach to Share Investments

I'

INVESTMENTS IN• Negative sectors & High -Debt companiesshould be avoided .

. • Selective stocks with focusonsustainabJegrowth should be considered.

• Support and resistance levels of each tradesession should be considered beforeinvestment

• Hedging mechanism for the existing stock'should be followed to reduce Jossthrough calloption mechanism.

I

• Dependence on single source for investmentsis undesirable.Differentsources for bear/bullmarket operations of investment should befollowed.

• The "KEY ROLE " played by fund managershould be evaluated.
