CEO speak

Dear Investors and my dear Advisor friends;

At the outset, let me wish you a very happy and prosperous new financial year.

I have been writing to you about our investment philosophy of BUY RIGHT : SIT TIGHT which we follow so

as to manage your money in a disciplined; process oriented manner targeted at not just generating returns

but for creating wealth. This month, I would like elaborate a bit about this and explain to you why in the

Indian context this is critical to follow over the next few years.

Wealth Creation by investing in equity requires two traits

1. The ability to identify good companies and

2. The discipline to stay invested over a long period of time in order to realize the full growth potential of the stock.

Good quality companies are in business for decades but investors change their views about these companies every year, every quarter,

every month and sometimes every day! While many investors get the first part of identifying good stocks, hardly anyone stays invested

for a long enough time. The temptation to book profits at 25% or 50% or even 100% returns in a 1 to 3 year period is so natural that

people miss out the chance of multiplication in wealth that happens only over long periods of say 5 to 10 years. The findings of 18th

Motilal Oswal Wealth Creation Study-2013 shows that quality stocks have grown ~200 to 300 times over a period of two decades. If you

wish to see the video of Mr. Agrawal's presentation and the panel discussion please click on the link below:

http://www.motilaloswal.com/Financial-Services/Knowledge-Centre/Videos/18

Needless to say, one would have benefitted from this growth only if he or she had remained invested instead of making attempts at

cashing out and trading in alternatively.

Why is this important for investing in Indian stock markets? In a recent interview when I was asked about the long term view for India, I

had stated that over the next five to seven years I am expecting today's Sensex value to be actually the Nifty value! Favorable

demographics remain the underlying driver of growth for India. While consumption has contributed disproportionately to economic

growth in India in the last 6 years, we believe a more focused leadership at the state and central levels will be critical to remove policy

road-blocks and help drive investment-led growth. Favorable policy environment should also help exports pick up steam. The economic

situation is in a turnaround mode and likely political consolidation happening at the same time should result in a huge upward move in

equity markets.

While some of this analysis tends to be more technical in nature, I am going to share two slightly long but logical calculations on why

todays Sensex value may be the Nifty value in the foreseeable future.

Our Investment philosophy - BUY RIGHT. SIT TIGHT

Quality : Quality of business and management

Growth : Growth in earnings and sustained RoE

Longevity : Longevity of the competitive advantage /economic moat of the business

Price : Buying a good business for a fair price rather than buying a fair business for a good price.

Buy and Hold: We are strictly buy and hold investors and believe that picking the right business needs skill and holding onto these business to enable our investors to benefit from the entire growth cycle, needs even more skill.

Focus: Our portfolios are high conviction portfolios with 20 to 25 stocks being our ideal number. We believe in adequate diversification but over-diversification results in diluting returns for our investors and adding market risk.

Analysis 1:

I) Today, the size of our economy (GDP) is approx. Rs. 110 lakh crores

ii) Economic (GDP) growth rate at conservative estimates like last 5 years is equal to 6% real growth + 7% inflation which sums

up to 13% nominal growth.

iii) Size of the economy (GDP) after 10 years at the same pace might be approx. Rs. 373 lakh crores.

iv) During last 10 years, the range of Corporate Profits / GDP ratio has been approx. 2.7% to 6.0%. Corporate Profits / GDP

means the total profits of all listed companies as a percentage of the size of the economy as a whole.

v) Currently it is at 4% to the GDP, thus Corporate Profits may be quantified at approx Rs. 4.4 lakh crores.

vi) Long Term average PE ratio is 16 times.

vii) Current Market Cap is approximately 16 times multiplied by Rs. 4.4 lakh crores is higher than Rs. 70 lakh crores (which is

indeed close to current market cap).

viii) 10 years hence, assuming corporate profit to GDP remains unchanged at 4%, the corporate profits in such case would be

approx Rs. 15 lakh crores. (4% of Rs 373 lac crores)

ix) Assume PE also remains as per long term average of 16 times, market cap may become Rs. 239 lakh crores

x) With market cap at Rs. 70 lakh crores today, Nifty is at 6500 points. So if market cap goes to Rs. 239 lakh crores, what will Nifty

be???? By simple multiplications it will be approximately 22000 points.

You may now calculate the Nifty if the following extremes are tested in the market which are always tested depending on whether

we are in bull or bear market:

1) What if GDP grows at 9% real growth instead of 6% growth?

2) What if corporate profits to GDP ratio is 6% instead of 4%?

3) What if market's PE is 24 times as in past peak instead of current 16 times average?

You will find that Nifty will be equal to today's Sensex in worst case. For best case, I leave the calculations to you !

Analysis 2:

In the market peak of FY08 the size of the economy (GDP) was Rs 45 lakh crores and the market cap of India was Rs 75 lakh crores. Today the GDP is Rs. 110 lakh crores but market is still between Rs 70 lakh to Rs. 75 lakh crores.

Historically the range of market cap to GDP ratio has been between 0.5 to 1.75 times.

Over the next 5 years at say 13% nominal growth rate take above the GDP may be Rs 202 lakh crores. In this period if the market cap to GDP ratio is 0.5 you will get 6% return on equity, if market cap to GDP ratio is 1 time you may get 22% return on equity and if you are in an equity party where market cap to GDP gets to its peak of 1.75 times, you may get 36.5% return on your equity investment.

Should you be in any asset class other than equity? And what should your percentage allocation to equity?

As always, I would love to hear from you. Incase of any further clarifications sought or feedback, please feel free to write back to me at [email protected]

• As of March 31, 2013, it has a network of over 70,000 cell sites and 3,000 Service Centers servicing Idea subscribers across the country.

• Amongst the large listed players Idea is favorably placed, given its sole focus on domestic market and quality management.

• Furthermore, Idea is currently a small player in key metro markets like Mumbai/ Delhi - it is well placed to leverage on its established brand to make inroads into these markets, which is likely to allow it to benefit disproportionately to other industry players.

• Idea also enjoys low debt/equity ratio which makes the stock further attractive as an investment option.

• The key rationale for Idea is the positive industry outlook. Telecom industry after having gone through fierce competition has started to witness slow consolidation.

• While the telecom industry in India is experiencing the closure and downsizing of smaller and regional operators, bigger operators are likely to get benefit of this in their market shares. Idea is certainly a beneficiary of this change and consolidation.

• This is likely to have positive impact on industry profitability and bode positively for key established players. The reason we feel this is likely to sustain is that while mobile density was ~22 percent in FY08, it is now ~80 percent.

• Idea's consolidated sales in Q3'FY14 grew by 5% QoQ to Rs 6613.06 crore led by steady growth in voice minutes, exponential data volume growth coupled with further improvement in voice realized rate during the quarter. The Average Realization rate per Minute (ARPM) is improved by 0.2 paisa QoQ (up by 3.8 paisa YoY) to Rs 44.9 on the back of increased contribution from value added services.
