September Outlook
Equity Markets
Mutual Funds Monthly
The Indian markets seems to be dictated by foreign fund flows in the near to medium term. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continue to pour money into our equity market with their year to date investment crossing $ 10 billion mark. The long term structural story of India based on favorable demographics, domestic consumption, high savings, infrastructure build up and opportunities in off shoring is quite compelling. Recently announced reforms on fuel prices, new draft Direct Taxes code and government's efforts to push GST have aided to positive sentiments. Increase in interest rates may pose a threat to the markets & corporate earnings which are in recovery mode currently. Better monsoons have not only improved sentiments for Indian Equities, but could also help in higher rural demand and lower agriculture commodity prices in the near to medium term and thus improve demand for products and services.
Debt Markets
The systemic liquidity is expected to tighten during the month in light of outflows towards advance tax payment. The outflows for advance tax payment of second quarter are anticipated around Rs 60,000 cr. Consequently, the money market rates would be biased for hardening towards the close. The debt markets are likely to take cues from the tight liquidity condition owing to the continuous borrowing program and any further monetary action in the mid quarter monetary policy review due on 16 Sept. G-Sec market movements would be determined by the level of systemic liquidity and outlook for inflation. The liquidity situation could tighten over the coming fortnight as the market gears up for outflows towards advance tax payment. It is expected that interest rates would see an upward bias but at the same time, upsides would remain capped due to further improvements in government balance sheet, drop in inflation on account of base effect and expected pick up in Banks' NDTL growth due to good inflow of overseas liquidity in to our economy. Bond yields across the curve maintained an upward trend. Indian bond markets have been at a major divergence from the trend in rest of the world. While RBI may have to catch up in terms of normalization of policy rates, we expect bond yields to soften in next quarter in view of global environment. Govt. has scored reasonably well on long pending reforms like gas price rationalization, fuel price decontrol, Tax reforms and relaxing of FDI in media and retail, which ensures faster growth that will attract higher investment in sectors like road, power and telecom. We expect growth to remain on track.

CEO Views L&T Mutual Fund

Sanjay Sinha, CEO, L&T Mutual Fund, which was known as DBS Chola Mutual Fund before it was acquired by L&T Finance in January 2010. Before joining DBS Cholamandalam Asset Management in September 2008, Mr. Sinha was the Chief Investment Officer at SBI Mutual Fund. He started his career with UTI AMC Pvt. Ltd. and was with them for over 16 years. He joined SBI Funds Management in 2005. Mr. Sinha is an Honours Graduate in Economics from University of Delhi and a Post Graduate from IIM Calcutta. To what extent do you see bond yields hardening in 2010? How do you see bank lending rates moving in the shorter term? We expect the bond yields to peak out at 8.25% in the coming periods and remain in the range of 7.75-8.00% over medium term. The bank lending rates would edge up as the busy season starts and demand for loans increases putting pressure on deposit rates. What are the reforms with reference to government policies that you anticipate in the immediate future? Major policy reforms are expected in Mining sector and continuation of reforms in oil sector. Implementation of UID projects, GST and DTC would fuel further reforms. Do you think the current valuations of the Indian equity market are justified? Do you think the same is poised for further growth from present levels in the near term? While sharp uptick in the current month would have stretched the valuations in the near term, we are not in a bubble zone yet. The sharp move has come after a long period of consolidation in narrow range. Taking a call on near term may be good for traders but would be hazardous for investors. We believe that with the nominal GDP growth expected to be ~15% over next couple of years, one can expect similar returns from equities. Hence, if one is investing with the horizon of 2-3 years, he can expect the above stated returns. Which are the sectors you are bullish and bearish on? Financial services, Capital Goods and Pharma are the preferred sectors from the point of returns. Consumer staples and Power sector would deliver lower returns from investment perspective. On a Contra note, we would like to play the global recovery theme and hence, believe that commodities and textiles would deliver higher returns in medium to long term. What is the medium-to-long term strategy of your Mutual Fund in India? Your views on the road ahead and any latest Fund Offering that you are proposing now? Medium to long term strategy of L&T Investment Management is to strive and deliver superior risk adjusted returns through research based stock selection and active fund management. We would achieve our goal by periodical sector and stock rotation strategies. We may shortly launch a fund to capitalise on the opportunities in the natural resources and energy space. We are also bullish on the financial services sector and have filed an offer document to launch a fund that would be focussed on this theme.
What is your outlook for Rupee, Home Loans and Deposit rates after RBI has raised benchmark interest rates? Your view on the economy, inflation, dollar, crude ,gold as well as GDP Projections? Hike in benchmark interest rates would lead to appreciation in rupee in the short term. Home loans and deposits rates would also rise given the general rise in interest rates. We expect the economy to sustain higher growth rates on the back of strong domestic consumption, pick up in private investments over a period of time and gradual revival in external trade. Inflation is bound to be higher in near term mainly on account of supply side concerns, but with monetary actions we expect inflation to subside towards tail end of the FY2011. Dollar is gaining strength mainly on account of risk aversion across the globe and also because US economy is relatively better off the Eurozone. We expect the dollar to remain stable going forward. Crude Oil is expected to be in the range unless some meaningful recovery in growth is seen in the global economy. Gold has gained its strength on the back of risk aversion and hedge against inflation. But as the growth returns in the global economy with the stability gold as investment may lose some relevance. We expect the Indian GDP to grow at 8-8.5% over next few years on the back of strong growth prospects for both manufacturing and services driven by domestic demand and private investments. Do you anticipate any moderation in inflation and what is your take on interest rate movement in the near future? Inflation in India is largely supply side driven and hence, would remain relatively higher. Only catch-up of base effect would lead to the appearance of moderation in headline numbers. Interest rates are expected to remain firm as economy grows at higher pace and demand for resources rises on the back of demand for private investments.

The Rupee ended the month at 47.07, 90 bps higher than than the previous month's close of 47.17.The INR had improved at the end of the month upon net positive FII flows of close to USD 1.6 billion. But as the flows reversed and turned negative towards close, the rupee too weakened in reaction. Widening of the domestic trade deficit has also impacted the movement on rupee. The INR closed the fortnight at Rs 47.07 levels against the USD.

The corporate bond yields had hardened during the month seeing tightness in liquidity and rise in G-Sec yields. However, as the liquidity improved, the bond yields fell slightly from high levels. The bond yields experienced hardening towards the close of fortnight tracking rise in short term yields, especially considerably high cut-off yield at T-bill auctions. The corporate bond yields at the short end were also impacted by widening of credit spreads.

Outlook
...While the broader S&P Nifty was down by -0.54%
5,700 5,650 S&P CNX Nifty in August 5,600 5,550
In August NIFTY declined 0.54% during the month as domestic events dominated the market sentiment in absence of significant developments in international markets. India remains somewhat insulated from global economic downturns due to prospects of sustained growth in India's private consumption and fixed capital formation. India continues to witness a surge of foreign portfolio flows, mainly due to its economy's stable and high growth characteristics. Thus, in 2010 CYTD India accounted for around 50% of Asian FII inflows. The June 2010 quarter earnings for Sensex companies were below expectations, declining by 1% YoY, compared to an expectation of 7% growth.WPI Inflation for August 2010 at 8.51% (Base: 2004-05). The FII's bought $2513.61Mn of Indian equities in August. Thus on the back of weak global sentiment and positive domestic news markets have been volatile but largely range bound. Schemes Watch

Portfolio Review Between July and August, the highest allocation of ELSS Funds was to the Banking sector at 15.67%. The Petroleum, Gas and petrochemical products industry stood in second place with 9.93% average exposure. This was followed by the Software and Consultancy Services sector with an average allocation of 9.01%, while fourth place was taken by Auto & Auto Ancillaries with 6.72% share of net assets. The other important sectors were Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Engineering and Capital Goods, FMCG, Power & Control equipment Manufacturer, Steel and Ferrous Metal. Outlook Equity-linked savings schemes (ELSS) are said to be good for investors with a investment horizon of more than 3 years. They provide the Fund Manager flexibility to focus on long term value creating opportunities instead of being unduly concerned over short term redemption pressures. Also both drafts of the direct tax code-in August 2009 and June 2010-left out ELSS as one of the instruments, classified as "permitted saving intermediary", that would be allowed to offer tax benefits under section 80C. Investment in an ELSS fund leaves the investor with a disposable surplus (amount of tax saved, `30,900 for highest tax bracket) which, if re-invested, can add substantially to the wealth created.

Returns Analysis During August, Equity-oriented Balanced Funds generated an average absolute return of 1.48% considerably lower than the July return of 2.36%. The 3 months & 6-month average absolute return were at 8.57% & 10.83% respectively, while the 1-month over 1-year rolling return noted at 1.79%. The volatility of returns for August was noted at 3.19. Portfolio Review At the end of August, the average allocation of Equity-oriented Balanced Funds to equities was stable at around 65% -70% levels. The average allocation to Bonds was down from 14.13% to 10.95% between the two months, while the exposure to the CP / CD segment decreased from 13.58% in July to 11.40% in August. The exposure to the overnight markets has increased from 9.71% to 9.84% over the two months. Outlook The aim of Balanced Funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such schemes periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. This proportion affects the risks and the returns associated with the balanced fund - in case equities are allocated a higher proportion, investors would be exposed to risks similar to that of the equity market. These might also be sound investment as retirement solutions. Schemes Watch

Outlook MIBOR rates closed the month at 5.13% from 6% at the end of last month. Money market rates rose sharply amidst tight liquidity in the market. The liquidity situation was quite volatile over the month, with positive LAF deployements at the beginning, which became negative in the midst, finally easing at the closeure of the month. Banks were also seen borrowing under the repo window. This led to inching up of the money market rates, however, the liquidity situation reversed and the LAF deployments were comfortably seen in the positive zone.

7-day rolling return ov er 6 months
This month investors have been cautious towards short term as well as long term floaters and thus we see outflow in both the segments. Investors are looking forward towards the First Quarter Review of Monetary Policy by RBI on 16th September when the interest rates might increase. To counter a rise in interest rate, the floating rate fund is an attractive option. Schemes Watch

Outlook The corporate bond yields hardened seeing tightness in money market on grounds of tightness in liquidity. The Benchmark 10Y AAA bond yield closed at 7.93% while benchmark 5Y AAA yield closed at 7.77%. The corporate bond yields are expected to track movement in G sec which may be influenced by RBI's actions in its Policy review. The WPI inflation for the month of August was seen at 8.51%. Based on the different factors our outlook on Long-term debt funds is still cautious. Schemes Watch DSP Blackrock Strategic Bond Fund - IP - Growth Birla Sun Life Medium Term Plan - IP - Growth

Outlook During the turbulent times, the one type of mutual funds that is Monthly Income Plans (MIPs) comes into the minds of many investors as they not only promise regular returns to investors, but also give an incentive of earning higher returns, subject to the performance of equities. It get returns either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, depending on the option chosen. Since the basic objective of MIP is to give regular income, the firm invests the major chunk of funds (at least 80%) into fixed income securities like commercial papers, (CPs), government securities, corporate bonds, and the like, while the remainder is invested into equities. Most of the firms invest 5%-20% into equities to obtain higher returns. The returns in MIPs are given in the form of dividends. The blend of debt and equity components (generally 80:20) manages to give regular returns. Schemes Watch
