In May 2020, global equity markets saw a strong rally despite risingCovid cases and renewed tension between the US and China

Investor sentiments which were already buoyed by the huge globalliquidity and commitment for more fiscal stimulus for economicrecovery, strengthened further on optimism about the re-openingof economies severely affected by Coronavirus

Indian equities settled lower as market participants weredisappointed with the economic package amid rising Covid cases

Nifty 50 fell 2.8%, while BSE Sensex declined 3.8% on MoM basis inMay 2020. Broader markets outperformed frontline indices due tovalue buying in mid and small cap stocks

In May 2020, FIIs bought ₹11,796cr (vs. ₹2,449cr bought MoM) inIndian equities, while DIIs bought ₹2,702cr worth of equities (vs.₹7,154cr sold MoM) during the month

Markets which are riding on optimism of gradual re-opening ofeconomic activities worldwide must be extremely cautious, asyet there is no breakthrough on Covid-19 vaccine and its adverseeffect on global economic fundamentals are not clear

Nifty 50 2Y-fwd PE was trading at a discount of ~4%(17.3x) to its 10yr rolling avg. PE (18.1x) in May month

Sharp reversion of the 2Y-forward PE towards its 10yaverage was mainly owing to earnings downgrade

Thus benchmark indices look expensive consideringmore earnings downgrades in the times to come

Indian equities are likely to see spells of volatility withdownward bias as various economic and industry dataare expected to be severely weak despite partialrelaxation of the lockdown

Equity investors with significant risk appetite can lookto invest in the stocks that are key beneficiaries of ruralgrowth. Moreover, select high quality stocks fromRetail, Chemical, Consumer Staple and Pharma spacemay remain resilient during periods of volatility.Investors with low risk appetite for direct equities cancontinue to invest in equities through mutual funds ina staggered manner. Such investors are also advised totop up their SIP amount to bring down their averagecost

India’s 10-year bond yield softened 10bps to 6.0% amid furtherliquidity infusion and accommodative actions taken by the RBI

The RBI cut repo rate by 40bps to 4.0% (Reverse Repo 3.35%) tofurther reduce the cost of funding in the system

India’s GDP growth for Q4FY20 slumped to 3.1% (Q3FY20: 4.7%)due to continued weakness in manufacturing activities coupledwith partial effect of lockdown in the month of March. Thuscountry’s full year GDP growth for FY20 stood at 4.2% (FY19: 6.1%)

Credit rating agency Moody’s has downgraded India’s sovereignrating citing upcoming challenges in implementing policiesrequired to mitigate risk arising from low growth, deterioration infiscal position, and stress in the financial sector

In May 2020, Indian rupee traded in a narrow range despite surgein Brent crude oil prices (up ~34%). The Indian currency marginallydepreciated by 0.5% MoM to ~76 v/s the US dollar

Returns from debt instruments may moderate in future due tonotable reduction in yields of AAA-rated papers. Also, RBI’sdovish stance may keep the interest rates low. However,investments in debt should be primarily into high quality papersgiven the uncertain environment

Make In India – Theme Of The Decade

28

There are some dramatic changes in both external and internal factors that can offer India an opportunity to become global manufacturing hub in the

medium term. Indian companies are witnessing a sharp rise in the enquiries for its products after tariff hikes by the US on Chinese imports. Since the

developments will evolve over a notable period of time and several sectors (such as Pharma, Chemicals, Electronics, Defense, Energy and PSUs) will

be the key beneficiary of this theme, we recommend to invest in ICICI Prudential Manufacture In India Fund to capture this theme in the portfolio.

Chinese manufacturers may significantly lose their global competitiveness as further imposition of higher tariffs due to acceleration in global trade

war will make Chinese products more expensive. Thus MNCs will look to (fully / partially) shift production out of China to avoid high tariffs

Several companies are looking to diversify their manufacturing supply Chain away from excessive reliance on Chinese production

Countries which are angry on Chinese handling of Covid situation, have announced incentives for their companies to move out of China

External Factors

Internal Factors

Tax reforms, hike in FDI limits across sector and substantial jump in India’s ease of doing business ranking are likely to attract global firms who are

looking for alternatives (or back up) to their Chinese manufacturing

Stubbornly rising unemployment will force Indian government to push through critical reforms (land & labor) to boost manufacturing activities

High probability of anti-dumping duty on Chinese imports to save and revive domestic manufacturing which are bleeding due to Covid lockdown

More incentives likely for local manufacturers and exporters in coming days as Indian government has shown strong intent towards being self reliant

and reduce dependence on imported products

Gold – A Must Have Asset Class

30

Gold is a special asset class and therefore provides additional diversification in the investment portfolio

It is considered as a hedge against the inflation and rupee depreciation

The presence of gold in the portfolio reduces volatility in one’s net worth

It offer portfolio a defense during times of uncertainty such as war, geopolitical issues or unprecedented scenario such as Covid-19

Key Features & Benefits

Thus gold is a must have asset class in the portfolio. However, it is not seen as an instrument for generating returns and meet long term financial goals.Instead, it is seen as an instrument for hedge against inflation, currency depreciation and global economic / political uncertainty. Therefore it is advisedto allocate up to 15% of the total portfolio in gold for hedging and to add an additional asset class in the portfolio. Investors can invest in gold throughETFs, Mutual Funds, Sovereign Gold Bonds, Digital / Physical Gold. Below are some recommended gold ETFs and gold based mutual fund schemes:

poor free cash flows and declining market share

interest would be an important criteria while selecting investments

Valuations – Companies which offer a favorable risk reward ratio

Core Portfolio – Secular stocks will form a core portfolio of the fund. They provide consistency and stability to the overall portfolio with lower risk

Tactical Allocation – Cyclical and Defensive stocks will be used to take benefit of cyclical trends of the market and generate extra alpha

Unlisted Shares

Many young companies grow much faster than mature companies due to their lower base, and hence tend to significantly

outperform the benchmark returns. However, a lot of this growth happens before the company goes public with an IPO. Hence,

participating in such companies in the Growth / Pre-IPO stage can provide superior returns to the investor.
