Equity markets underwent correction

Influenced by both global as well as domestic cues, the equity markets traded weak during February. The frontline market indices recorded

their worst monthly returns in almost two years (i.e. since Feb-2016). NSE Nifty and S&P BSE Sensex traded down losing 4.9% and 5%

respectively, while the broader market indices S&P BSE Midcap and Smallcap, marginally outperformed the market indices, though still were

down returning -4.6% & -3.1% respectively.The performance of the domestic indices mirrored that of the weak returns generated by most of

the global equity indices, primarily on account of concerns around faster than expected interest rate increases in the US.

Local factors also added to the weak investor sentiments. The introduction of 10% Long Term Capital Gain Tax (LTCG) on equities in the

Union budget acted as a dampening factor for equity markets. The unraveling of substantial fraud at a prominent Public Sector Bank and

further news flows around the same, impacted market sentiments adversely, especially the banking sector names.

On the other hand, the macro data pointers released during the month painted an improving picture of the economy. The GDP growth for the

Oct – Dec 2017 quarter accelerated to 7.2% YoY compared to 6.5% YoY growth recorded in the previous quarter. The GDP print also came

above market expectation of about 7% YoY growth. The nominal GDP growth also improved to 11.9% YoY from 10% in the previous quarter.

The Gross ValueAdded (GVA) growth accelerated to 6.7% YoY up from 6.2% YoY growth recorded in the Jul – Sep 2017 quarter.

Inflation trends showed moderation, with the CPI reading for Jan-2018 coming in at 5.1% YoY compared to 5.2% in

the previous month driven by slightly lower food and fuel prices. The Wholesale Price Index or WPI inflation also decelerated to 2.8% YoY

compared to 3.6% YoY for the month of Dec-2017. The industrial output (as measured by Index of Industrial Production or IIP), remained at a

good growth trajectory delivering 7.1% YoY for Dec-2017 (however growth slightly moderated compared to 8.8% YoY in Nov-2017). On the

external trade front, strong growth in imports led to an increase in the overall trade deficit while exports growth moderated but still recorded a

growth of 9.1% YoY. The acceleration in imports growth (26.1% YoY) implies continued robust domestic demand scenario.

The underlying trends for 3QFY18 (Oct – Dec 2017) results season showed good signs of earnings growth recovery, though the reported

number got impacted by weak treasury income especially from banks and a Profit after Tax or PAT loss reported by SBI. The aggregate

earnings growth for Nifty index constituents came in at about 7% YoY*, while excluding SBI, the earnings growth improved to about 16%

YoY*. This trajectory compares to flat earnings growth (YoY) recorded in the first half of Fy18.

* MOSLestimates

The Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) flows moved into a negative figure with the net outflows for February at about USD 1.93 bn, recording

the segment’s worst monthly net outflows since Aug-17. The Domestic Institutional Investor (DII) flows on the other hand continued to see

strong net inflows at about USD 2.76 bn*, yet again driven by the domestic MFs. The MFs net bought equities worth USD 2.06 bn* whereas

the domestic insurers turned net buyers for the first time after Oct-17 at about USD 700 mn* of net inflows. The DIIs have seen net inflows of

USD 2.8 bn during the first two months of 2018, entirely driven by the net inflows from MF segment. The FIIs on the other hand have only seen

marginal net inflows of about USD 108 mn in 2018 so far compared to about USD 7.7 bn of net inflows seen during 2017.

The pace of the normalisation of monetary policy by the key central banks and particularly by the US Federal Reserve became the focal point

of discussion for the global equity markets during February. This factor influenced the performance of global markets during the month. The

US treasury yields rose and was volatile during the month on the back of the expectation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Federal

Reserve. In the Eurozone, the minutes of the January policy meeting suggested that the monetary policy stance could be revisited in the near

term, paving way for ending the bond buying programme later in 2018.

Equity Market Outlook

Monetary Policy Committee or(RBI Policy Minutes)

(Consumer Price Index or CPI)

(Index of Industrial Production or IIP)

Equity market trends turned weak during February influenced by various global as well as local factors. Concerns of a faster than expected

interest rate hike cycle by the US Federal Reserve led to a weak equity performance across the globe. The MSCI Emerging Market Index was

down 4.7%, while the MSCI World Index fell 4.3% and hence the performance of the frontline Indian equity Indices in February were broadly

in-line that of the global equity indices. Additionally, some domestic factors such as the introduction of LTCG tax and the news flows around

the significant fraud at a prominent Public Sector Bank led to subdued investor sentiments.

However, the macro data releases during the month support the thesis of an improving domestic economy. The GDP growth is rebounding,

the industrial production growth trajectory has improved while after showing signs of hardening in the recent past, the inflation trends have

stabilized. We are also in a phase of recovery for corporate earnings and the underlying trends from 3QFY18 results season provide

confidence to this assessment. The budget document for FY19 also appear balanced and not overly populist as the government has

considered a realistic approach to the fiscal aspects, while at the same time has provided room for social spends.

We expect earnings growth in India to remain strong for the remainder of FY18 and well into the next financial year. However valuations

remain in a higher than historical range vis-à-vis earnings. The expected increase in RoEs following margin expansion and lower rates of

interest signal a stable environment in spite of the current high valuations. We do expect market volatility to be driven by political and

geopolitical events as and when they occur during the year but we do not think fundamentals to deteriorate very significantly. Interest rates in

India will be range bound with short spurts of easing on the back of news flow and vice versa. However we do not expect them to rise

substantially in the near future and nor do we expect a steep fall in the same. The other factors to closely track would be the global economy,

global crude price dynamics, rising trends of protectionism in the developed economies and the interest rate actions in the US.

We remain constructive on the India story from a medium to long term perspective. For investors with a long term investment horizon, equity

investments provide the potential to deliver relatively better returns vis-à-vis other alternatives and also can act as an avenue for long term

wealth creation. Therefore, we continue to urge investors to approach equity investing from a long term perspective and always keep the

asset allocation plan in mind, taking into account one’s risk appetite and future goals in mind.

MPC minutes were released and were seemingly more hawkish in contrast to the

announcements made on the policy day. All members were concerned about the rising inflation risks due to the higher Minimum Support

Prices or MSPs; fiscal slippage; etc. The members have chosen a status quo on policy rates as growth recovery appears fairly nascent.

The growth-inflation mix will continue to drive the MPC decision in the near term and they are likely not to hike in haste and will likely wait for

the further GOI actions on MSP to assess the direct impact on inflation.

GST collections for the month of Jan 2018 was reported at INR 863.2 bn which was flat as compared to Dec 2017, representing

69% of the total tax payers. Out of this INR 142 bn is CGST, INR 199 bn is SGST and INR 438 bn is IGST. Overall while collections are

flat, the expectation is that with e-way bill implementation and better compliance, collections may improve these numbers in future.

CPI inflation for the month of Jan 2018 was 5.07% from 5.21% in Dec 2017, The moderation in inflation was

primarily a result of lower food inflation. At the same time, YoY rise in fuel inflation was largely capped, despite a spike in crude oil prices;

keeping overall inflation restrained. Going forward too, inflation is expected to hover around the 5% and may exceed the 5.0% mark starting

Apr 2018 as the effect of adverse base would set-in.

For the second consecutive month, India’s industrial production growth rose strongly (in over the last

two years), posting a print of 7.1% YoY in Dec 2017 vis-à-vis 8.8% in Nov 2017 perhaps indicating the beginning on broad based growth. The

growth was seen in the sectors such as manufacturing, electricity, capital goods and consumer non-durables while consumer durables, and

infrastructure were a tad weak.

(Trade deficit)

(Oil)

( )

( )

Oil prices have been volatile in the month of Feb reaching lows of USD 62 / barrel from highs of USD 70/ barrel. The decline driven by news

around increasing US production. However the decline was quickly reversed with oil heading back towards USD 67-68 mark driven by OPEC

members particularly Saudi reiterating that they will maintain oil output levels to keep the prices under control. Subsequent update from the US that

they will maintain healthy supply again changed the trend towards the end of the month around USD 66/barrel levels.

INR spot witnessed activity and depreciated shortly to levels breaching 65 to USD. This was largely due to PNB fraud which witnessed

covering on the spot due to trade related settlements. RBI also was heard on the street to be intervening due to increased volatility. FPI debt flows

have been stable and equity flows for the month have been negative USD 1.5 bln.

Q3 GDP picked up to 7.2% from 6.5% in the previous quarter and higher than consensus estimates. CSO has alongside revised its full year

GDP estimates to 6.6% from 6.5% and Gross Value Added or GVA to 6.4% from 6.1%. The key triggers have been agriculture, construction and

manufacturing. While base effect has played some role (as last year this quarter was impacted by demonetisation), the Q3 data definitely indicates a

visible recovery in economy.

Liquidity remains negative

Trade deficit worsened to USD 16.3 bn in January from USD 14.8 bn in November. Ove the last three months, the trade deficit has

been sliding with theApril –Jan FY18 deficit at USD 136 bn vs USD 88 bn in the same period last year. This has been driven by the slower exports while

oil imports have surged by 40% due to spike in oil prices.Alongside non-oil non-gold imports have also been rising.

Bearish sentiments continue in the market. While there was some relief post RBI policy, the relief was short-lived. Hawkish MPC minutes, currency

depreciating towards 65, US Treasury bonds trading negatively and volatility in oil price has kept the markets on the edge, Post MPC minutes yields

touched near term highs of 7.80% on the benchmark. However, the markets were quick to recover as absolute yields appeared attractive Currently

markets are trading with low volumes which can drive yields in either direction swiftly.

State Developed Loans or SDLauction spreads have been in the range of 60-65 bps in the absence of large institutional buyers. Regulatory change in

the investment pattern of pension funds is likely to keep demand supply balanced.

Currency

GDP

Liquidity saw continued tightening and remained negative throughout the month (excluding MSS). Also with the expectations that government is

going to carry additional cash of INR 393 bn, room for liquidity easing remains limited. Towards the end of the fiscal year MSS redemption of INR 1000

bn may provide some relief. RBI announced a 41 Repo of INR 250 bn. While this has not helped ease liquidity to any material level, continued repos or

OMOs (Open Market Operations) may change the needle.

RBI will continue with the vigil on inflation. While policy was more balanced on growth – inflation dynamics, the minutes presented a hawkish tone

which has accentuated market to believe that RBI is more concerned on the inflation rather than growth, pushing the case for a rate hike. Fixed

income market has pushed up yield since last 6 months in a big way to discount most risks projected by RBI.

Markets are expected to trade in a range of 7.50-8.00 depending on global cues. Locally markets appear to have priced in all potential negatives in the

near term and current levels may present attractive entry points. However near term volatility and resumption of central government supply inApril are

the key risks factors that is keeping market on the sidelines

Demand Supply balancing of G Secs will be possibly achieved through foreign participation, tapping retail market for G Secs and encouraging

deposits in banking system.

Nature of Scheme

Rating Profile

An employee of the asset management company such as a mutual fund or life insurer, who manages investments of the scheme. He isusually part of a larger team of fund managers and research analysts.

This is the minimum investment amount for a new investor in a mutual fund scheme,

This is the minimum investment amount for an existing investor in a mutual fund scheme.

The Yield to Maturity or the YTM is the rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until maturity. YTM is expressed as an annual rate. The YTMfactors in the bond's current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity.

SIP or systematic investment plan works on the principle of making periodic investments of a fixed sum. It works similar to a recurring bankdeposit. For instance, an investor may opt for an SIP that invests 500 every 15 of the month in an equity fund for a period of three years.

The NAV or the net asset value is the total asset value per unit of the mutual fund after deducting all related and permissible expenses. TheNAV is calculated at the end of every business day. It is the value at which the investor enters or exits the mutual fund.

Agroup of securities, usually a market index, whose performance is used as a standard or benchmark to measure investment performance ofmutual funds, among other investments. Some typical benchmarks include the Nifty, Sensex, BSE200, BSE500, 10-Year Gsec.

Amutual fund may have a sales charge or load at the time of entry and/or exit to compensate the distributor/agent. Entry load is charged at thetime an investor purchases the units of a mutual fund. The entry load is added to the prevailing NAV at the time of investment. For instance, ifthe NAV is 100 and the entry load is 1%, the investor will enter the fund at 101.

Exit load is charged at the time an investor redeems the units of a mutual fund. The exit load is deducted from the prevailing NAV at the time ofredemption. For instance, if the NAV is Rs 100 and the exit load is 1%, the redemption price would be 99 per unit.

Modified duration is the price sensitivity and the percentage change in price for a unit change in yield.

Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the range of an investment's performance. When a mutual fund has a high standard deviation,its means its range of performance is wide, implying greater volatility.

The Sharpe Ratio, named after its founder, the Nobel Laureate William Sharpe, is a measure of risk-adjusted returns. It is calculated usingstandard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.

Beta is a measure of an investment's volatility vis-a-vis the market. Beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than themarket.Abeta of greater than 1 implies that the security's price will be more volatile than the market.

AUM or assets under management refers to the recent I updated cumulative market value of investments managed by a mutual fund or anyinvestment firm.

The holdings or the portfolio is a mutual fund's latest or updated reported statement of investments/securities. These are usually displayed interms of percentage to net assets or the rupee value or both. The objective is to give investors an idea of where their money is being investedby the fund manager.

The investment objective and underlying investments determine the nature of the mutual fund scheme. For instance, a mutual fund that aimsat generating capital appreciation by investing in stock markets is an equity fund or growth fund. Likewise, a mutual fund that aims at capitalpreservation by investing in debt markets is a debt fund or income fund. Each of these categories may have sub-categories.

Mutual funds invest in securities after evaluating their creditworthiness as disclosed by the ratings. A depiction of the mutual fund in variousinvestments based on their ratings becomes the rating profile of the fund. Typically, this is a feature of debt funds.
