ADVICE FOR THE WISE - AUGUST 2020

 FROM THE CEO’s DESK

Dear Investors, “Behind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.” Marianne Williamson. All inclusive, economies are seeing recuperation with pointers, for example, PMI showing an improvement in spite of infection resurgence in a couple of nations. U.S., Euro, and China manufacturing activities have picked up pace, with July numbers in these three regions crossing 50 mark, indicating expansion. Financial and monetary policies remain exceptionally accommodative, and liquidity remains buoyant, which should provide continued support for further economic recovery. Equity market declines provide opportunities to buy better stocks at lower valuations. We foresee this slowdown and the year 2020 from an investment opportunity viewpoint rather than worrying, as the risk-reward ratio in the current scenario is in favour of equity investments. The current positive outlook on the global markets is well backed by negative real rates, expansion of the central bank balance sheet along with growth recovery and medical progress on COVID-19 While there is a growing increase in the number of COVID cases on the domestic front, there has been an improvement in the recovery rate; in India it is about 68.41 percent while 64.05 percent globally. Early signs of pent-up demand are visible in the economy as indicated by high frequency indicators. Expected normal monsoon and higher sowing of Kharif crops YoY gives us the solace that the rural economy will play a major part in the future economic growth. Other macro factors such as low oil prices and stable currency, high forex reserves and current-account surplus will act as tailwinds for the domestic equity market. Expectations of the Q1 FY21 earnings to bottom out by FY21, while the economy and earnings are expected to normalize by FY23 keeping in mind the current low interest rate scenario and high liquidity, supports valuations. With the declining dollar index and humongous global liquidity we expect the money to flow into EMs. In July, the domestic equity market kept witnessing strong FII inflows coupled with steady SIP flows in mutual funds.

ADVICE FOR THE WISE – JULY 2020

  FROM THE CEO’s DESK Dear Investors, “More money has been lost trying to anticipate and protect from corrections than actually in them.” Peter Lynch. The BSE Sensex had the best quarter since June 2009 and had risen more than 35 percent from lows in March, despite Covid-19 lockdown having seriously hampered economic activity. Backed by better-than - expected economic data in recent months, along with a proactive government stance and central bank policy intervention coupled with the resurgence of FPI flows into the domestic equity market, indicates towards a "V-shaped" recovery. Corrections in the equity market offer incentives for buying quality stocks at lower valuations. Instead of worrying, we expect this downturn and the year 2020 from an investment opportunity perspective as the risk-reward ratio in the current scenario is in favour of equity investments. In regards to the domestic market, while we expect second half of FY21 to see a turnaround in production, diffic...
