Monthly Market Report February, 2012 Economy
Q3 FY-12 GDP at 6.1 percentage Q3FY-12 real GDP growth came at 6.1 percentage y-o-y due to continued slow growth on the manufacturing side. Farm sector posted 2.7 percentage growth, good enough considering the high base (11 percentage in Q3 FY-11). The manufacturing sector, one of the key drivers of the economy, grew 0.4 percentage. Mining contracted 3.1 percentage due to regulatory and environmental hurdles. While electricity, gas and water supply grew at a robust 9 percentage, construction activity also picked up during the quarter, growing at a healthy 7.2 percentage. Services sector growth at 8.9 percentage y-o-y although relatively lower than previous quarters, remains the axle around which the economy can achieve 6 percentage+ overall growth. Notably, among services, growth in the finance and insurance sectors has moderated to 9.0 percentage y-o-y against 10.5 percentage in the previous quarter.
IIP continues to remain volatile IIP continues to remain volatile as it fell down to 1.8 percentage for December vs 5.9 percentage reported for November 2011. The main reason for the fall was the sharp deterioration in the manufacturing sector growth which plunged to 1.8 percentage Vs 6.6 percentage growth number reported in the previous month. Mining industry continues to post the negative growth as it posted a de-growth of 3.7 percentage y-o-y for the month of December. Capital Goods also followed the trend as it posted a y-o-y de-growth of 16.5 percentage. Given the reduction in the CRR, the interest rate in the economy is expected to reduce which may improve the investments in the economy. This could see a turnaround in the capital goods sector and the overall IIP
Inflation at two year low The inflation for the January came at 6.55 percentage, lowest in the last 26 months. The fall is in line with RBI’s expectation of reducing inflation since the start of the CY2012. Food inflation contracted 0.52 percentage in January on the back of falling vegetable prices, compared with a 0.74 percentage rise a month ago.
January Trade Deficit stands at USD14.8bn The trade deficit continues to inch higher on the back of strong growth in the imports and sluggish growth on the export. For the month of January, the trade deficit stands at USD14.8bn on the back of 20.3 percentage growth in Imports and mere 10.4 percentage y-o-y growth in the exports. The surge in import was contributed by huge OIL import bill which stood at three and half year high of USD12.3bn. The elevated rupee dollar rate may help in reducing the import in near future and can help to reduce the trade deficit
USD/INR exchange rate The Indian Rupee exchange rate for February 2012 averaged at 49.1900 INR to USD. The high was 49.50 while the low for the month was 48.6950.
Debt Market Update The benchmark 10-year G-sec yield has begun the month at 8.27 percentage and ended the month at 8.21 percentage. The market was range bound and stable during the month.
Equity Market Update Equity market continued their positive performance in February month on the back of the positive investor sentiments in the markets. The Sensex gained approx 3.25 percentage for the month while nifty too posted a gain of 3.5 percentage for the same period. The investor sentiment continued to remain buoyant and the same has been reflected in the FII money flow which has remained positive for the last two months. The other positive highlights on the domestic side were the inflation which came at 26 month low and also appreciation of rupee against dollar. The reduction in the inflation has further resurfaced the talk of RBI cutting rate as early as in the March midterm policy review. On the global front, the Greece bailout added to the positive sentiments.
On the sectoral front, most of the indices have seen positive gains and outperformed the major indices. The highest gainer was Realty (14.5 percentage), Auto (8.15 percentage) and Capital Goods (5.7 percentage)
discounting this much earlier. Despite recent run-up, equity markets are still trading at valuations at ~13 times FY13 earnings, much below the long-term averages. Short term volatility and marginal downward correction cannot be ruled out. However, it is a good time to increase the exposure to equity with an investment horizon of at least 3 years. Market Valuations: At the current levels of ~17677 the Sensex with an expected EPS of 1260 for FY-13E trades at a PE of ~13x 1-year forward. The valuation multiple has rebounded from its bottom level but they are still below their historical averages. One can expect the market to reach its mean multiples of 15-16 times in the next 1 yr. period.
Fund Flows: Foreign Institutional investors (FIIs) were turned net buyers to the tune of Rs.24,694cr, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net sellers to the tune of Rs.2171cr worth of shares in the month.
Sectoral Update Oil and Gas: The Government has again increased both diesel and petrol prices to pass-on the high crude prices which may help to reduce the under-recovery of the oil marketing companies. This should be a positive step towards profitability of Oil marketing companies as well as upstream companies. We also expect clarity on subsidy sharing and de-regulation in the Oil& Gas sector in the next 3-6 months.
Information Technology: IT- Majors maintained their volume growth guidance for FY-12 and sees an increase in spending budget in FY13 onwards. This coupled with weakening rupee augur well for the sector. However, Euro-zone issues and fear of double-dip recession in US continue to dampen sentiments. Also, non-extension of the Sec 10A/B and bringing of SEZ facilities under MAT regime may act as a sentiment dampener for short-term.
Auto: Auto sales numbers are continue to remain at comfortable level and are expected to inch up in the next fiscal once the interest rates in the system starts going down. New launches, both in two wheeler and three wheeler will keep the demand in momentum and augur well for the auto and auto ancillary companies.
Banking: The banking sector got affected mainly due to RBI tightening interest rates mainly to curb inflationary pressures. However, we are near the rate-hike cycle and this would augur well for the banking sector in the longer-term.
We expect the sectors such as IT, Pharma, Banking and Oil & Gas would outperform and will maintain an overweight stance in these sectors. We continue to be cautious on Metals due to slow down in China and global weakness.
Market Outlook: Global market continued their upward journey during the month on the back of improved investor sentiments and strong FII flows. Most of the major global indices posted monthly returns in the range of 2 percentage - 5 percentage. The major trigger were the finalisaiton of the Greece bailout and the second round of LTRO funding by the European central bank. These events has eased the liquidity in the system and prompted investors to again look back to the riskier investments. Cues from the US also remained positive as the unemployment rate fell to 4 year low and sales of new homes in the U.S. came in at a higher than expected level in January.
The domestic market too continued its upward journey which started early in January on the back of the strong FII flow and improvement in the macroeconomic trends. On the global side, strong weekly sales and job data from US, some stability in the Euro zone were the important positive factors. On the domestic side, the continued moderation in the inflation has sparked a talk of the reduction in the interest rate by RBI. The results of the UP election are also expected to be out in the sometime and the consensus view is that the congress will be able to consolidate its position and increase its strength in the parliament. Improvement in the IIP, core industry and an adoption of expansionary monetary policy by RBI may emerge as the key positive factors for the equity markets. Going ahead; the UP election results, Union Budget, RBI monetary policy, crude prices and Europe and US situation will determine the direction of the markets. We expect the up-move to resume post a consolidation phase for a month or two.
The policy initiatives, such as removing the restrictions on interest paid on NRE Deposits, allowing any foreign national to buy Indian equities directly from the secondary / primary market, increasing the debt limits for subscription by FIIs (both G-Sec & Corporate debts), proposals on allowing PSUs to buy the other PSU stocks, persuading cash rich PSUs to pay more dividends, allowing promoters to sell their equity holdings by auction mechanism through stock exchanges etc, needs to be closely watched as they could be game changers. We expect some of these measures to work towards reducing the high fiscal deficit, arresting steep rupee depreciation and also reduce the burden of high Govt. borrowings. This in turn can soften the inflation and interest rates, there-by putting the economy back on the growth path. The results will not be immediate but may take a few months – but the stock market as it generally does, may start

Fund Manager's Comments In the month of February, The domestic market too continued its upward journey which started early in January on the back of the strong FII flow and improvement in the macroeconomic trends. The major event during the month was the Greece bailout and the second round of LTRO (Long term Refinancing Operations) funding by the European central bank. These events has eased the liquidity in the system and prompted investors to again look back to the riskier investments. On the domestic side, the continued moderation in the inflation has sparked a talk of the reduction in the interest rate by RBI. Going ahead; the UP election results, Union Budget, RBI monetary policy, crude prices and Europe and US situation will determine the direction of the markets. We expect the consolidation phase for the domestic markets to continue for a few more months. During the month, we continued to be over-weight on Oil & Gas, Pharma, Banking, Auto and other consumption themes. Going ahead, we would tactically reduce cash levels to deploy in good stories at attractive levels. The exposure to equity will be tilted towards low beta stocks that are having attractive value proposition. The GDP growth has dipped further to 6.1 percentage for the third quarter. The IIP data has slowed to 1.8 percentage in December 2011. The inflation for the month of January 2012 dipped to 6.55 percentage on the back of a decrease in food prices and primary articles. All these data are conducive for an interest rate cut by the RBI. However, crude prices have increased significantly and will impact inflation negatively in the future. Therefore the RBI may not cut the rates in the March 2012 policy, although the RBI has stated that the interest rates have peaked. The 10 year G-sec has been range bound in the 8.15 percentage - 8.25 percentage in the month of February 2012. The market is also worried about high government borrowing programme which is expected to be announced in the month of March. We have elongated duration and will continue to do so whenever there is an increase in the yields.

Industry -wise Exposure
Fund Manager's Comments The Value Fund invests in stocks which offer better value- proposition vis-a-vis peers based on strategies laid out in the Fund's investment mandate. In the initial phase, the tilt has been more towards large-cap stocks. This conscious short term strategy, has worked well as can be seen by the fund out-performance. We have started to increase the exposure to value and mid-cap stocks, to bring in more of value orientation, as the risk-reward appears to be favourable now.

Industry -wise Exposure
Fund Manager's Comments The Fund will be managed passively by investing in all the Nifty 50 Stocks in a proportion that is as close as possible to the weightages of these stocks in the S & P CNX Nifty index. Under Index Funds, tracking error normally occurs due to intraday price movements, cost of transaction, fund management expenses charges, dividend inflows. In addition, limiting the actual exposures to the extent allowed by regulatory norms also contribute to tracking error in certain scrips. The investment strategy is to keep the tracking error low and deliver the returns as close to the returns delivered by the benchmark index. The Fund will optimally use the portfolio re balancing techniques combined with least possible transaction cost to keep the tracking error low.

Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund (SFIN: ULIF015080811DYAALLFUND143) Fact Sheet for February, 2012
Fund Manager's Comments In the month of February, The domestic market too continued its upward journey which started early in January on the back of the strong FII flow and improvement in the macroeconomic trends. The major event during the month was the Greece bailout and the second round of LTRO (Long term Refinancing Operations) funding by the European central bank. These events has eased the liquidity in the system and prompted investors to again look back to the riskier investments. On the domestic side, the continued moderation in the inflation has sparked a talk of the reduction in the interest rate by RBI. Going ahead; the UP election results, Union Budget, RBI monetary policy, crude prices and Europe and US situation will determine the direction of the markets. We expect the consolidation phase for the domestic markets to continue for a few more months. During the month, we continued to be over-weight on Oil & Gas, Pharma, Banking, Auto and other consumption themes. Going ahead, we would tactically reduce cash levels to deploy in good stories at attractive levels. The exposure to equity will be tilted towards low beta stocks that are having attractive value proposition.
