Equity MarkEt OvErviEw:15 JunE 2020 tO 13 July 2020Indian equity markets ended on a positive note during the above-mentioned period as the S&P BSE Sensex index and Nifty 50 index ended with the gain of 8.6% MoM and 8.3% MoM, respectively. The S&P BSE Midcap index and S&P BSE Smallcap index were also up by 6.4% MoM and 7.9% MoM, respectively. On the sectoral indices front, S&P BSE IT index and S&P BSE Auto index were top two outperformers, as they gained by 11.3% MoM and 8.1% MoM, respectively. The S&P BSE Realty index and S&P BSE Cons. Durable index were top two underperformers as they gained by 0.5% MoM and 0.7% MoM, respectively. During the month of June’20, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) were net buyers to the tune of ` 218 bn and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net sellers to the tune of ` 5 bn.

Most of the global equity markets ended on a positive note during the above-mentioned period, as many large economies started to witness improvement in economic activities as they lifted the coronavirus (Covid-19) related lockdown. The economic data like manufacturing PMI across major developed and developing nations have also shown improvement on month on month basis. In addition, major central banks continued with their monetary support to push the economic growth in their respective regions. Amidst weak quarterly earnings season and rise in geo-political tension, Indian equity market continued their upward momentum owing to strong global inflows and revival in economic activity as witnessed in incremental reduction in intensity of fall in exports, core sector data and manufacturing activities, etc. Well distributed above normal monsoon rainfall and better kharif sowing on YoY basis also raised the hopes for faster revival in rural India, which led to improvement in investor sentiments.

Amid sharp volatility, US markets ended on a positive note during the above-mentioned period as the S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones index rose by 3.7% MoM and 1.9% MoM, respectively. The volatility was driven by the concerns about a second wave of coronavirus cases as the new Covid-19 cases started to rise in some of the states in the US. However, on the data front, rate of jobless claims has started to moderate and manufacturing activity started to improve post the partial opening up of the US economy, which along with contemplation of additional stimulus by the government helped investor sentiment to remain positive. Meanwhile, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the country is facing an uncertain, uneven and prolonged economic recovery from the novel coronavirus crisis that will likely require continued monetary and fiscal support. In its recent policy, the US Fed kept the interest rate unchanged and hinted at no increase in rates until 2022. While mixed news flow on new Covid-19 cases is creating uncertainty in near term, fiscal and monetary stimulus by the US would be determining the future movement in the US as well as other equity markets dependent on US liquidity flows.

Indian macro-economic data points, released during the above-mentioned period, had also indicated improvement from their recent low levels. Index of Industrial Production (IIP) contracted by 34.7% YoY in May’20, compared to a revised contraction of 57.6% YoY in Apr’20. As per CMIE, unemployment rate in India fell to 7.44% in the week ended July 12, 2020. As per the RBI’s weekly statistical supplement, India’s forex reserves increased by USD 6.416 bn to all time high levels of USD 513.254 bn for the week ended July 3, 2020. As per Commerce Minister, India’s exports are showing signs of improvement in Jun’20 as it reached to 80-90% of last year’s level. As per India Meteorological Department, seasonal cumulative rainfall during current year’s southwest monsoon season was 13% higher than long period average as on July 8, 2020. The sowing of the kharif crops, as on July 10, 2020, have been 44.1% higher as compared to the same period last year, driven by early sowing of many crops compared to last year due to good monsoon rainfall so far. India’s current account turned surplus by USD 0.6 bn, or 0.1% of GDP, in Q4FY20 vs a deficit of USD 4.6 bn, or 0.7% of GDP in Q4FY19. Fitch Ratings revised its outlook on India’s sovereign ratings to Negative from Stable but retained its rating at ‘BBB-‘.

The Q4FY20 quarterly earnings reported by corporates were subdued and below market expectations. The net sales of companies in CNX 200 index was down by 3.4% YoY, while the EBITDA and Reported PAT fell by 30.0% YoY and 73.2% YoY, impacted by lower operating efficiency across the sectors especially in the Oil & Gas sector along with onetime expenses in few companies in Auto and Telecom sector. While the results have been largely impacted by the Covid-19 related lockdown imposed by the government in the month of March, a major impact is likely to be seen in Q1FY21 as the period of lockdown was extended and return to normalcy was gradual, thereby impacting businesses for a longer period in Q1FY21. The commentary from most of the

management indicated that the business operation had partially started and was ramping up gradually, but they were uncertain on how demand would pan out in coming times, as a result many refrained from giving any future outlook. However, some of the early positives like low crude oil prices, high forex reserve, lower interest rate, higher kharif crop sowing and well-distributed above normal monsoon, may support Indian economy in near to medium term and in turn may support corporate earnings, especially for the rural focused corporates. While the recovery in overall demand is uncertain till the number of new Covid-19 cases comes down drastically and normalcy of operation returns, sharp rise in global liquidity, strong fiscal and monetary stimulus in domestic market and low base effects are likely to aid demand recovery, which would be key levers for improvement in corporate earnings going ahead.

As per the fund managers, performance of equity market in the near term is likely to be driven by factors like development over spread of Covid-19, resumption of economic activities, border dispute with China, news flows from global markets, and execution of policy measures by RBI and the government to boost the economic growth. However, the fund managers expect the market to perform better over the long term on back of optimism over earnings growth trajectory, falling interest costs and various measures by RBI and the government to support the economic growth.

Mutual Fund Investment Strategy: Given the up move in the equity markets in the recent past, in the current evolving situation related to Covid-19, we continue with the investment strategy to 50% lumpsum and the rest 50% staggered over the next 4-5 months. From an Equity Mutual Fund perspective, investors could look at investing in Largecap Funds, Multicap Funds and Hybrid Equity funds with investment horizon for 2-3 years, in line with their risk profiles.

Domestic banking system liquidity continued to remain in the surplus zone; however the liquidity surplus declined as compared to the previous period. Liquidity as measured by the RBI’s net Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) stood at a daily average surplus of ` 3.79 trillion during the period, as compared to ` 4.35 trillion in the previous month. Towards the later part of June 2020, the RBI allowed banks to continue borrowing the additional amount under Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) by dipping into the prescribed SLR, from 2% to 3% of banks’ Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) till September 2020; which the RBI had earlier allowed till 30 June 2020. Additionally, the RBI allowed the minimum daily maintenance of the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) to be at 80% of the prescribed CRR instead of 90%, up to September 25, 2020, which was earlier allowed till 26 June 2020.Domestic G-secs closed almost flat after witnessing volatility during the above mentioned period. Yield on the 10 year benchmark G-sec the 5.79% 2030 bond closed at 5.79% on 13 July 2020, as against 5.80% on 12 June 2020. G-sec yields rose during the first half of the period, as lack of any G-sec supply absorption measures by the RBI and escalation in geo-political tensions between India and China led to negative sentiments, which resulted the yields at the longer end of the yield curve to rise. Additionally, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the Government of India’s foreign-currency and local-currency long-term issuer ratings to Baa3 from Baa2. Moody’s also downgraded India’s local-currency senior unsecured rating to Baa3 from Baa2, and its short-term local currency rating to P-3 from P-2. The outlook was maintained as ‘negative’. Another global rating agency Fitch Ratings Ltd. revised India’s long-term outlook to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’. The sovereign rating however, was retained at ‘BBB-’. However, during the second half of the month the G-sec yields declined tracking RBI’s announcement of the much awaited Open Market Operations (OMOs). The RBI conducted a Special OMO of simultaneous purchase and sell G-secs to the tune of ` 100 bn each on 2 July 2020. While securities to be sold in the OMO were T-bills maturing in the year 2020 and 2021, securities to be purchased included dated G-sec maturing between the years 2027 and 2033. RBI’s OMO led to expectations of more such measures by the RBI, which continued to aid the decline in G-sec yields. Better than expected GST collection data for June 2020 also aided sentiments. During the period the RBI released the indicative calendar of market borrowings by state governments for the quarter July - September 2020; which showed the state governments are scheduled to borrow ̀ 1.78 trillion on Q2FY21. In April-June 2020 quarter the scheduled borrowing for states was ` 1.27 trillion. In another positive development, the government approved a scheme to improve the liquidity position of NBFCs/HFCs through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to avoid any potential systemic risks to the financial sector. The SPV would purchase the short term papers from eligible NBFCs/HFCs, who shall utilise the proceeds under this scheme solely for the purpose of extinguishing existing liabilities.On the international front, the US Federal Reserve left the Federal Funds rate unchanged at the level of 0-0.25% and also pledged to continue with its asset purchase programme. In another development, Bank of England (BoE) also kept the interest rates unchanged, wherein Bank Rate was maintained at 0.1%. However, the BoE increased the target stock of purchased UK government bonds, by an additional 100 bn Pounds, to take the total stock of asset purchases to 745 bn Pounds. Apart from keeping the policy rates low, the global central banks also continued to provide support through various tools.On macro-economic data front, India’s retail inflation measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June 2020 stood at 6.09% YoY as against 5.84% YoY in March 2020. Data for April and May 2020 headline inflation were not release due to data collection difficulties in the current health crisis situation. Retail food inflation stood at 7.87% YoY in June 2020. India’s Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for the month of May 2020 contracted by 34.7% YoY as against a contraction of 57.6% YoY for the month of April 2020 (revised from -55.5% YoY released earlier). Manufacturing sector output contracted by 39.3% YoY in May 2020 as against a contraction of 67.1% YoY in April 2020. On the Current Account Balance, domestic Current Account registered a surplus of USD 0.6 bn in Q4FY20 (0.1% of GDP) as against a deficit of USD 4.6 bn (0.7% of GDP) in Q4FY19. Government’s fiscal deficit for the period April-May 2020 stood at ` 4.66 trillion, or 58.6% of the budgeted estimate as against 52% of the budgeted estimate during the same period last year.Future OutlookBanking system liquidity is likely to remain in the surplus zone, for as long as it takes for the economic growth to revive. The RBI is likely to continue providing liquidity support through various tools available. Apart from ensuring ample liquidity in the banking system, the RBI and government are also likely to continue with measures to make liquidity available to corporate sector as well.On the inflation front a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases may impact the supply side, which can lead to temporary rise in food prices. Additionally, increase in fuel prices may also put some pressure on inflation. Also, limited capacity utilization under current health crisis conditions need to be tracked closely. That being said, subdued demand conditions and better monsoon are likely to continue to provide downward bias to inflation. Thus, inflation outlook seems to be balanced at the current juncture. Additionally, any transient uptick in inflation is likely to be looked through by the RBI, as supporting growth takes precedence.After having reduced policy interest rates sharply, the RBI may use other available tools to provide support to economic growth. While policy rate cuts may happen going forward also, as indicated by the RBI in the recent past, the RBI could be more selective in reducing interest rates further, as rate reduction alone may not be sufficient to push economic growth. The monetary policy is likely to remain accommodative for longer, to hand hold the economy till sustained recovery in growth is achieved.We expect the government to announce further measures which is likely to have a material impact on the fiscal deficit. This is also likely to result in further increase in government borrowings probably in H2FY21. That said, we also expect the RBI to be more active in supply absorption measures when that happens. Though the shorter end of the yield curve has declined even in June 2020, the longer end has moved in a narrow range. Should the longer end of the yield curve move up, the RBI could put a cap on it. While the long of the yield curve may move down given RBI’s supportive stance, the trajectory of longer end yields is likely to depend upon the extent of supply pressure and level of RBI’s support.Fund Managers’ OutlookMost of the fixed income fund managers believe, that at the current juncture, focus should be on high credit quality and sovereign securities. The fund managers are of the view, that the upto 5 years’ segment on the yield curve continues to be relatively more attractive from risk reward perspective. The fund managers are of the view, that while duration strategy is also attractive given the higher terms spreads, a lot will depend upon the RBI’s support to the government’s fiscal deficit.

The G-sec yield curve continued to remain steep during the above period. While yields declined across the yield curve, the medium term segment of the yield curve declined more as compared to the other segments. Term spreads also remained elevated. Term spread between the 1 year and the 14 years G-secs stood at ~247 bps as against ~244 bps in the previous period. The spread between the 1 and the 10 years G-secs stood at ~212 bps compared to ~203 bps. Spread between the 1 and the 5 years G-sec was at ~116 bps during the period as against ~164 bps in the previous period.

Fixed Income Mutual Fund Strategy:- Investors who want to invest at the relatively shorter end of the yield curve and are looking to benefit from relatively better accruals, can look at Banking and PSU Funds and Corporate Bond Funds that have allocation to higher credit quality bonds, with an investment horizon of 15 months and above. Investors who want to take advantage of relatively higher term spreads and can take volatility, may look at Medium Duration Funds for a horizon of 15 months and above; and Dynamic Bond Funds with an investment horizon of 24 months and above. Investors who want to invest for a shorter horizon can continue to look at Ultra Short Duration Funds/Low Duration Funds/Money Market Funds for a horizon of 3 months and above. Whereas, for a horizon of upto 3 months investors can consider Overnight Funds and Liquid Funds.

Current Account Balance Registered a Surplus in 13 Years

The current account balance surprised on the upside and recorded a marginal surplus in Q4FY20, primarily on account of an improvement in invisible receipts. In USD terms, Q4FY20 current account balance came in at USD 0.6 bn vs. a deficit of USD 4.6 bn in Q4FY19 and USD 2.6 bn in the Q3FY20. To highlight, remittances and receipts from travel and software services stayed robust in Q4FY20, indicating full impact of the pandemic is yet to be seen.

On the flip side, risk aversion related Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) outflows weighed on the capital account surplus which slowed to USD 17.3 bn from USD 19.2 bn in Q4FY19. However, Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) remained robust and registered an improvement in both sequential and y-o-y terms. On the balance, overall Balance of Payment (BoP) surplus increased to USD 18.8 bn from USD 14.2 bn in Q4FY19.

Going forward, we expect current account balance to record a deficit of 0.3% of GDP in FY21 (vs. 0.9% in FY20) on account of a slowdown in software exports and remittances receipts. On the capital account front, investment in Reliance-Jio, sale of Kotak Mahindra stake will support FDI but with a 30-40% contraction in global FDI flows as predicted by UNCTAD, a steady flow of FDI seems unlikely. Furthermore, improvement in global liquidity and the search for yield could bring in portfolio flows, although corona related news flow could add to volatility. Our forecasts are premised on the assumption that the USD will lose ground against G-7 free floaters and selected EM currencies (including the INR) going into H2CY20. Hence, we expect BoP to clock in a surplus of ~ USD 40-45 bn in FY21 (compared to USD 59.5 bn in FY20).

While the current account print is broadly INR supportive, it is unlikely to lead to a breakout from the current trading range, although a mild upside in the USD/INR pair taking the exchange rate below 75.50 is possible.

Current account balance recorded a surplus

• ThetradebalanceremainedlargelysteadyinQ4FY20atUSD35.0bn(vs. USD 35.2 bn in Q4FY19), as both exports and imports contracted significantly in Q4FY20. To highlight, while exports contracted by 12.4% YoY, imports declined by 9.0% YoY in Q4FY20.

• However, invisibles receipts increasedsharply toUSD35.6bn fromUSD 30.6 bn in Q4FY19, with a pick up in remittances and services receipts. Remittances increased to USD 18.4 bn in Q4FY20 compared to USD 16.2 bn in the same quarter last year. This is likely to change going forward as the impact of a global recession particularly in the Middle-East oil producing countries have led to job losses for Indian blue-collar workers.

• Within services, travel and software segment improved in Q4FY20 vis-à-vis Q4FY19. As a result, net services receipts increased to USD 22.0 bn in Q4FY20 from USD 21.3 bn in the same period last year. Again software exports could decelerate on the back of a global recession.

Key fibonacci level at 23.60%% retracement of (H/L) 68.2900 to 76.9200 at 74.9500 is a crucial support, break of which should test 73.9500 followed by 72.5450. However, on the upside the pair needs to convincingly close above 76.2000 (Pivot) for 77.1000 levels and above.

The pair is stuck in a tight range of 1.1120 to 1.1280 broadly since the Mid-June 2020 and continues to trade slightly above the thick Ichimoku cloud. The MACD on the weeklies continues to be in the neutral to positive territory indicating upside movement. On the weeklies key fibonacci level-- at 61.80% retracement of 1.2555 (CY18 High) to 1.0339 (CY17 Low) at 1.1186 remains a key resistance now. Break of 1.1447 (50% Fibo) should give way to 1.1620 and higher in the medium term. On the downside a convincing break of 1.1080 would test 1.0820. Key Pivot levels are 1.1280(R1) and 1.0820(S1).

The Month

Gold investors continue to smile all through the COVID-19 pandemic as price of the yellow metal rallied to make recent high to just shy of USD 1800/oz. Although some distinct signs of economic activity picking up have emerged in the US with improved economic indicators such as manufacturing and labour market leading to return of some risk appetite, however, investor’s sentiment for yellow metal still looks quite tenable. During the month of June 2020 alone, gold prices rose by 7% (about USD 120/oz) from a low of USD 1670/oz to USD 1790/oz.

While jewellry sales across the globe remained subdued, Gold investment demand through ETFs and retail segments kept prices moving in upward trajectory. Investment into Gold ETFs is considered medium to long term in nature and provides lot of stability to Gold prices. During April-June 2020 quarter 467 tons equivalent to USD 2.6 bn worth of gold investment has flown into ETFs. All major Gold ETFs put together hold approximately 3600 tons equivalent to USD 204 bn worth of gold on behalf of their investors.

The weekly Commitment Of Traders (COT) report of the U.S Commodity Future Trading Commission (CFTC) indicates that institutional money managers have been adding long positions in comex gold futures to their portfolio. However, surprisingly, the non-commercial long positions (short term & speculative positions) remained low as per week on week reports in the month of June 2020.

Gold Movement in June 2020

Physical demand from two largest Gold markets India and China continue to remain subdued during the month of May-June. China, which is a net importer of Gold, reported net export of Gold for the second consecutive month in May 2020. Due to poor demand in mainland China, Gold prices traded at a discount of USD 20/oz to the international Spot price.

On the other hand, India reported 86% drop (provisional) in Gold import in the month of June 2020 as compared to same month last year. Gold discount in the domestic market in India improved from USD 20 to USD 5/oz as look-down restrictions were removed in many part of the country and business activities started picking up. Despite of gold price rise in the International market, prices were capped below ` 50000/10gm in India, thanks to some appreciation in rupee against dollar which kept prices around ` 48000-49000/10gm. Jewellers in India are pinning their hopes on upcoming festival seasons starting Sep-October 2020 followed by marriage season in the country.

Projection

A gradual uptick in the month of June 2020 and with no sign of correction takes gold to critical levels near USD 1790-1800/oz and holding firm as if investors are still expecting more from the rally. While any dip is likely to counter strong buying, a break of USD 1800/oz would attract more buyers which can potentially fuel prices to all time high USD 1925/oz. The trade-off between rising gold prices in the international market and rupee appreciation against dollar will keep gold prices around ` 48000/10gm, upward bias.

As per the fund manager, initial signs of recovery in some of the macroeconomic data announced during the month and buying by PFIs in equity markets boosted investors’ sentiments. Positive news flows around development over clinical trial for treatment of Covid-19 infection also added gains in the market. As per the fund manager, India’s corporate earnings and GDP growth for Q4FY20 have been weak due to crisis led by outbreak of Covid-19. Corporate earnings are likely to normalize once the lockdown ends and people get back to their normal lives over the next few quarters, as the fund manager believes that the current situation is more of a health crisis and not a major financial crisis as of now. Initial signs of revival in economic activities are already visible due to easing of lockdown restrictions by the government in select regions of the economy. As per the fund manager, market leaders across various sectors have been raising capital in an attempt to shore up their capital. This in turn is likely to help companies to reduce their finance cost, improve health of the balance sheets and to build adequate capital buffers for weak economic conditions.From a valuations standpoint, the fund manager is of the view that valuation metrics based on earnings may not work for many segments of the markets due to lower business output especially in the manufacturing sector. The fund manager believes that longer term valuation methodologies like discounted cash flows may allow investors to look more logically in the current market scenario. The fund manager remains cautious on equity market in the near term due to mixed set of macroeconomic data and contagion impact of Covid-19 outbreak on global trade and domestic economy. However, the fund manager is positive on Indian equity market from medium to long term perspective on back of reasonable valuations considering cyclical low levels in earnings and potential for earnings revival going ahead. The fund manager is positive on Private Sector Banks and while he has highest weights in the Banking & Financial Services sector, it is lower than the benchmark weights. Apart from Banking, the other top sectoral holdings are FMCG, IT, Pharma and Oil & Gas. Currently, the fund has around 87% exposure in large cap stocks and close to 13% exposure in debt & cash. The fund is recommended for investors with an investment horizon of 2-3 years.

Mutual FunD synOpsis - Equity OriEntED FunD as On 30 JunE, 2020

Investment Objective The fund is a large cap equity fund that aims for growth by investing in companies in the large cap category.

Fund CharacteristicsThe fund invests in large cap companies which have proven track record, quality management and have good growth potential. As a stock selection process, the fund manager applies bottom-up investment approach and mainly invests in companies that offer good growth potential over the long term. The fund manager may also take aggressive positions in high conviction stocks with an aim to generate higher alpha. The fund manager may look at factors such as strong fundamentals, future turnaround in the business cycle and revival in economic growth to select stocks in the portfolio. Further, to maintain diversification at sector level, the fund manager follows benchmark hugging approach with a deviation of +/-5% as compared to sector weight in benchmark index.

Fund CommentaryAs per the fund manager, Indian economy is expected to contract in the FY21 as extensive lockdown measures have continued to remain in place for more than two months and has brought economic activities to a sudden halt. As a result of this, private consumption demand and investment activities have remained weak. While, coordinated policy efforts from the government and the RBI have provided some cushion to the economic crises led by outbreak of Covid-19, fiscal stimulus announced by the government has provided only a marginal impetus to the economic growth in the near term. In the meanwhile, monetary measures announced by the RBI have been comprehensive including cut in interest rates, an extension of loan moratorium and additional liquidity injections. However, near-term growth revival could face challenges from weak credit flows and rising number of Covid-19 cases in the country.The fund manager expects the Indian equity market to perform better over the medium to long term on back of reasonable valuations (with long term perspective), optimism over bottoming-out of business cyclical and corporate earnings growth trajectory.However, concern regarding rapid spread of the Covid-19 and its anticipated impact on global economic growth will be closely tracked by market participants in the near term. Pace of government reforms and muted consumption demand in domestic market are also some of the important variables to watch out for by market participants in the near term. Currently, the fund manager is focusing on companies which have strong balance sheets, ability to generate regular cash flows, and are trading at reasonable valuations with better earnings visibility over the medium term. The fund manager has underweight stance on sectors like Banking & Financial Services, FMCG, Retail etc, while having overweight stance on sectors like Auto, Telecom, Oil & Gas etc.The fund manager is positive on Private Sector Banks and while he has highest weights in the Banking & Financial Services sector, it is lower than the benchmark weights. Apart from Banking, the fund has high exposure to sectors like Oil & Gas, FMCG, IT and Auto & Auto Ancillaries. Currently, the fund has around 91% exposure in large cap stocks, around 4% exposure in mid cap stocks and around 5% in debt & cash. The fund is recommended for investors with an investment horizon of 2-3 years.

Type & Investment Objective The fund is a multi cap equity fund that invests across market capitalisation with a large cap bias.

Fund CharacteristicsWith top down investment approach, the fund manager endeavours to identify sectors that are likely to do well over the medium term and takes large exposure to select sectors. The fund manager generally maintains concentrated exposure to 4-9 sectors in its portfolio. There is no restriction on the type of sectors that the fund can take exposure in and the portfolio is generally diversified at stock level across market capitalisations with a large cap bias.

Fund CommentaryIndian equity markets closed on a positive note in June 2020 with Nifty 50 index rising by around 8%. As per the fund manager, rebound in some of the macroeconomic data announced during the month led by easing of lockdown restrictions and positive news flows around treatment of Covid-19 infection boosted market sentiments. As per the fund manager, going forward, Indian equity market is likely to take cues from how the Covid-19 spread would play out in India and impact of global growth slowdown on Indian economy. The fund manager believes that equity markets would start to stabilize once cure for Covid-19 is found. Post the Covid-19 issue, equity market is likely to react positively mainly on the back of lower crude oil prices, rebound in economic activities, lower interest rates and higher liquidity in financial market. The fund manager believes that economic growth is likely to be driven by revival in rural economy on the back of higher MSP, better food grain production and various measures by the government to boost the rural income.As per the fund manager, performance of equity market in the near term is likely to be driven by factors like movement in Rupee and crude oil prices, development over spread of Covid-19, resumption of economic activities, border dispute with China, news flows from global markets, and execution of policy measures by RBI and the government to boost the economic growth. The fund manager expects the market to perform better over the long term on back of optimism over earnings growth trajectory, falling interest costs and various measures by RBI and the government to support the economic growth. The fund manager is of the views that companies which are from organized segment, have low leveraged balance sheets and have ability to manage working capital requirement, are more likely to be the early beneficiaries of economic recovery.The fund manager is positive on Private Sector Banks and while he has highest weights in the Banking & Financial Services sector, it is lower than the benchmark weights. The other top sectoral holdings are Oil & Gas, FMCG, Cement and IT.Currently, the fund has around 69% exposure to top five sectors in the portfolio, while top five stocks constitute around 26% of the portfolio. The fund manager maintains higher allocation towards large cap stocks and has around 71% exposure in them. The fund is recommended for investors with an investment horizon of 2-3 years.

Type & Investment Objective The fund aims to seek capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity related instruments in large and mid-cap stocks.Fund CharacteristicsThe fund is a large and mid-cap fund that invests minimum 35% each in – large cap and mid cap companies. As a stock selection process, the fund manager applies mix of top-down and bottom-up investment approach and mainly invests in around 40-45 high conviction stocks.Fund CommentaryIndian equity markets were volatile and closed on a positive note in June 2020 with S&P BSE Sensex index rising by around 8%. As per the fund manager, improvement in some of the macroeconomic data announced during the month, gradual easing of lockdowns globally, positive developments over the treatment of Covid-19 infection and supportive monetary policies by central banks globally, boosted investors’ sentiments. However, border tensions between India and China, and concerns over rising number of Covid-19 cases in India, capped further gains in the market.As per the fund manager, gradual easing of lockdown restrictions by government towards the end of May 2020 resulted in pickup of economic activities. As a result of this, high frequency indicators including Manufacturing and Services PMI, electricity demand, vehicle registration, Apple mobility index, traffic congestion, air quality index, GST collections etc indicated initial signs of pickup in economic activities.Going ahead, the fund manager expects the economy to contract in H1FY21 and see a recovery in FY22, aided by low base effect and supportive fiscal and monetary stimulus measures by the government and the RBI to support the economic growth.Moreover, India has seen improved competitiveness on corporate taxes, accommodative monetary policy, ample skilled labour supply, stable currency and improvement in ease of doing business. Hence, global manufacturing companies are increasingly considering India as an investment destination to diversify part of their operations away from China. This is likely to bode well for structural economic growth over the long term. While, the fund manager is positive on equity market over the medium term on the back of reasonable valuations (on trailing P/BV basis), impact of Covid-19 outbreak on the economic activities, movement in INR and crude oil prices, and geo political tensions between India and China are likely to dictate the performance of equity market in the near term. The fund manager has cautious stance on sectors like Consumer Discretionary and Industrials while has overweight stance on sectors like FMCG, Pharma and Utilities. Currently, the fund has highest exposure in FMCG sector. Apart from FMCG sector, the other top sectoral holdings are Banks & Financial services, Pharma, Oil & Gas and IT.Currently, the fund has around 61% exposure in large cap stocks, around 36% exposure in mid cap stocks and close to 1% exposure in debt & cash. The fund is recommended for investors with an investment horizon of 2-3 years.

Fund Commentary

According to the fund house, on account of the Covid-19 crisis, for India particularly because of previous growth constraints, related vulnerabilities in the lending system, and a somewhat bloated public deficit, the post Covid-19 situation will require a careful navigation. While challenges look daunting currently, there are obvious starting advantages including a largely domestically financed debt profile and a stable external account. These advantages have to be leveraged and sustained in the time ahead, even as public policy needs to be decisive and precise in order to optimize growth, given the constraints. As pre the fund house, RBI has been quite proactive so far in conventional policy with respect to interest rates and liquidity. However, the fund house assess that further moves in this direction may be down the path of diminishing marginal utility. While addressing credit spreads would have been trickier, the general assessment has been that the RBI could have been more proactive in the market for sovereign financing and hence on term spreads. According to the fund house, the RBI is ensuring that the higher government financing requirement goes through without incremental

tightening to financial conditions, which may be evidenced as a rise in yields. However, given that the bulk of the bond supply lies ahead of us, and with a strong likelihood of a further upward revision in the borrowing calendar, RBI’s firepower may be better used later than now. As per the fund house, instead of looking for active support from the RBI, the markets may have to settle for a strong passive support that prevents the yields across the yield curve from rising. As per the fund house, currently the best risk versus reward segments on the yield curve seem to be the 6 -7 years’ segment on the sovereign curve, and these now constitute the fund house’s most overweight positions for the active duration funds. According to the fund house, currently the focus has to be on best quality AAA and sovereign / quasi sovereign bonds. As per the fund house, the best risk versus reward continues to be in the front end of the yield curve (upto 5 years). The fund house also believes that while duration is attractive, given the wider term spreads and when compared to nominal growth rate expectations, sustained performance here is still dependent upon the unveiling of a credible financing plan from the RBI for the enhanced borrowing program of the government. In IDFC Bond Fund-Medium Term Plan, the average maturity of the portfolio stood at 4.34 years in June 2020 as compared to 4.38 years in May 2020. The fund’s exposure to G-secs stood at 60.42% in June 2020 as against 57.19% in the previous month. The fund’s exposure to Corporate Debt securities stood at 36.51% in June 2020. Amongst Corporate Debt, the scheme had significant exposure to PSU Bonds and Other Corporate Debt. The fund had 100% of the portfolio in AAA & equivalent rated securities as of June 2020. The YTM of the fund was 5.49% as of June 2020.

Fund Commentary

According to the fund house, the yield of 10-year benchmark (5.79% G-sec 2030) ended the month of June 2020 at 5.89%, up 13 bps over the previous month end. The average net interbank liquidity surplus remained high supported by high government spending, soft credit growth vis-a-vis deposit growth and foreign exchange purchases by RBI. However, increase in pace of withdrawals over the past couple of months and repayment of Ways & Mean Advances (WMA) by central government to RBI reduced the interbank liquidity to a certain extent. The minutes of Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC) latest meeting were in line with expectations with all members highlighting their concerns about economic growth. Over the past few months, apart from reduction in policy rates, RBI has been conducting operation TWIST, LTROs, TLTROs, open markets purchases, etc. to ease the financial conditions and improve liquidity. These actions along with RBI governor’s statement about benign inflation and challenging growth outlook indicates that RBI is open to take further conventional and unconventional policy measures to counter the impact of slowdown due to the pandemic.

Fund Snapshot

Portfolio Composition as on 30 June 2020

Sectoral Composition as on 30 June 2020

outlook on Balance of Payment, benign inflation outlook, low global interest rates and easing liquidity by major central banks bodes well for yields in India and there is some more room for yields to decline in the fund house’s opinion. However, overhang of large supply of government securities (central as well as state governments) especially at the longer end of the yield curve, excess SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) investments within banking system, any sharp reversal in oil prices, high near term inflation, etc. are key risks to the fund house’s view. As per the fund house, in view of the above, yields at the longer end of the curve are likely to trade within a range in the foreseeable future. Considering the aforesaid factors, the fund house maintains the view that the short to medium end of the yield curve offers better risk adjusted returns. Further, in the fund house’s opinion, the prevailing high credit spreads also create a favourable risk reward opportunity in select pockets. In HDFC Corporate Bond Fund, the average maturity of the portfolio stood at 4.19 years in June 2020 as against 3.78 in May 2020.

Equity Market Update and Outlook

Indian benchmark indices gained in June 2020 led by a gradual resumption in business activities and an earlier-than-expected normalization in certain consumption sectors. The Nifty 50 index gained by 7.5% and S&P BSE Sensex index gained by 7.7% in the month, despite the escalating tensions between India and China, continuous rise in Covid-19 infections and a weak set of Q4FY20 results. FIIs were net buyers in equities to the tune of USD 2.9 bn whereas mutual funds were net sellers to the tune of ` 612crs in cash segment for the month.

Large global economies, too, are seeing a recovery in activity as the pandemic is peaking and the people are learning to live with it. Hopes of a vaccine or a medical breakthrough has also kept the optimism going.

Moody’s downgraded India’s sovereign credit rating to Baa3 from Baa2 and maintained a negative outlook. Fitch also revised its outlook on India to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’, and affirmed the rating at ‘BBB-’.

Meanwhile the government has extended the free food program for poor for another 5 months - till Nov’20. This is estimated to cost the government ` 900 bn, which is 40bps of estimated FY21E GDP.

Crude oil prices continue to rise (~12% in June 2020) on optimism about a recovery in fuel demand worldwide, despite a surge in coronavirus infections. However, the persistent oversupply of oil in the markets capped the rise.

While the macroeconomic indicators for major economies are improving, Indian economic recovery may be slower as the Covid-19 cases have not yet peaked. Equity markets, however, have made a good recovery driven by the pickup in sentiments globally towards risk assets. The monetary and fiscal stimulus provided and the global liquidity have also been the major factors for the recovery. However, we are yet to see an improvement in the macro indicators and earnings growth and we remain skeptical of the sharp market up move and expect bouts of volatility from time to time.

The consensus earnings for FY21 have seen sharp cuts. However, the markets are factoring in strong rebound in FY22 if there are no further shocks. Nifty 50 index valuations are expensive at 24x FY21 and 19x FY22 consensus estimates. While weak macroeconomic indicators and valuation concerns will continue to exert downward pressure, the hopes of a vaccine/cure for the Covid-19 and the strong global stimulus and liquidity are expected to support the up move. We therefore expect markets to be volatile. We believe investors should use correction in the market as opportunity to increase allocation to equities gradually.

Fixed Income Market Update and Outlook

Bond yields traded in a narrow range throughout the month as the large bond supply was balanced by the hope of RBI intervention to support the market. The 10-year benchmark government security ended at 5.88%, higher than the 5.78% at the end of the previous month, while the old 10-year benchmark barely moved as it ended the month at 5.99% from the 6.01% at the end of the previous month. During the month, spreads between corporate and sovereign bonds and those between liquid and illiquid bonds, compressed, leading to differential returns for different segments of the market.

RBI Monetary Policy Committee’s (MPC) policy minutes highlighted that the deteriorating macro-financial conditions prompted the MPC to meet earlier than scheduled and cut interest rates further. Most members felt that the demand side of the economy would take longer to recover compared to the supply side owing to labour migration, job losses and a dent to consumer confidence. Moody’s downgraded India’s credit rating to Baa3 from Baa2 with a ‘negative’ outlook premised on a prolonged weakness in growth and deterioration in fiscal health.

India’s Nikkei Markit Manufacturing PMI increased to 47.2 in June 2020 from 30.8 in May 2020, and the Services PMI increased to 33.7 from 12.6 in May 2020, highlighting the recovery from the lockdown. For the second straight month India did not release consolidated CPI for the month of May 2020 owing to lack of sufficient data. However, food inflation which was released, tapered down from 10.5% YoY to 9.3% YoY as vegetable price inflation cooled down. Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue collection in June 2020 stood at ` 90,917 crore, up from ` 62,009 crore mopped up in May 2020 and ` 32,294 crore in April 2020.

India’s gradual unlocking in June 2020, and buoyant tax collection provided some respite from the heightened fears of fiscal health deterioration. With RBI announcing Operation Twist (RBI buying longer dated securities and selling short dated securities) at the end of the month, the market is expecting more such measures in the coming month to support the bond market. Significant liquidity in the range of ` 3.5-4.5 Trillion has kept the short end of the yield curve anchored and is aiding in monetary transmission.

The RBI is widely expected to cut interest rates again in the forthcoming policy meeting in August 2020. This rate cut is expected to steepen the curve further as the short end adjusts to the rate cut, while the long end yields are expected to move in tune with the large supply of bonds, though balanced by expectations of RBI’s measures to support the markets.

The #COVID19 #pandemic had created difficulties for those living in rural regions, due to lack of livelihood and limited logistics, impacting the livelihood of the villagers of Rayagada district, Odisha. In this distressing situation, tomato farming emerged as a viable source of income, as the crop is suitable to the region. So, under the #HRDP, in conjunction with the Village Development Committee, farmers were selected to undergo training in sustainable, modern farming techniques, along with benefits of organic agriculture. This undertaking generated a bumper tomato crop production and benefitted 35 families. This program was implemented by PrayatnSanstha in association with HDFC Bank Parivartan.

The year 2020 is proving to be a wild ride for the markets. At the worst point in March 2020 the Nifty-50 index was down over 37% for the year. But the losses have been cut to less than 15% YTD as of June 30, 2020.

During this period of the Pandemic driven panic, almost every asset class - equit ies, commodit ies, emerging market currencies and bonds came under pressure with only the US

Dollar gaining from a flight to safety. However, governments and central banks around the world have provided significant fiscal support and large-scale monetary intervention and this appears to have turned the tide. The US Federal Reserve led the way by expanding its balance sheet by USD 3 trillion (a near 75% increase in 10 weeks) by buying assets including private bonds. And the US government announced an over USD 1 trillion economic package. The speed and extent of the monetary and fiscal intervention so early into the crisis turned the tide in the US markets. As a result, from late March 2020 the US Dollar has been in decline, giving back all the gains from the panic and every other asset class - commodities, equities and Emerging Market (EM) currencies and bonds has rebounded, cutting losses significantly. Gold was the only asset class to hold out during the period of panic and has done well during the subsequent rebound. US Equities as measured by the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 index have climbed back to record highs.

India’s monetary intervention has been sizeable, but the credit support is limited. Our fiscal intervention targets the immediate humanitarian issues stemming from the lockdown. Our situation is complicated because growth was sluggish even before this Covid-19 setback and the financial system has been experiencing stress from late 2018. The good news is, that government efforts to implement reform in the agriculture sector, change labour laws and provide incentives to domestic manufacturing are a welcome supply side initiatives to boost our growth potential. More fiscal stimulus to boost demand may be called for later, in order to provide

Mr Vetri SubramaniamGroup President & Head- Equity, UTI Asset Management Company Limited

the economy with velocity as we exit the lockdown. The good news is, that inflation appears well contained, the current account deficit is likely to be less than 1% of GDP and the outlook for the agriculture sector appears positive.

Corporate earnings based on Bloomberg consensus are likely to be poor in FY21 due to the lockdown. Focusing on the FY21 earnings as the guide to valuations for stocks is not appropriate. After all, stocks are not valued solely on a single year’s earnings - a company’s value is the value of the cash flow it generates over its lifetime. And the impact of a fall in one year’s earnings is limited in that larger context. The bigger challenge is how well the company can navigate the trying period of the lockdown and subsequent exit. Akin to the Darwinian theory of survival of the fittest, companies that can navigate a challenging period, are often well placed to accelerate and gain market share and profitability in the subsequent period as they face less competition. However, we must also watch out for businesses that find their future trajectory significantly disrupted due to changes in policies, attitudes and lifestyles after Covid-19.

As regards valuations, the market is no longer as cheap as it was in March 2020. At its low point in March 2020, the market was testing a valuation trough last seen only during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). We are now well off those lows and valuations are back in the fair value territory. We are finding opportunities in companies across sectors and market caps at reasonable valuations relative to their long-term growth prospects. But what is also true is that the baton now passes from valuations to visibility of growth and earnings. The virus is not behind us yet, but with the world’s best and brightest trying to find cures and vaccines, we are hopeful that human ingenuity will see us through this crisis. The recent events are a reminder that we cannot predict the future, but we can prepare for uncertainty by adopting prudent rules of diversification, research driven stock selection and disciplined portfolio construction.

What is Arbitrage?

Arbitrage describes the act of buying a security in one market and simultaneously selling it in another market at a higher price, thereby enabling investors to profit from the temporary difference in cost per share.

An arbitrage fund is a type of mutual fund that appeals to investors who want to profit from volatile markets without taking on too much risk. These mutual fund schemes look to exploit the price difference between the spot and futures market to earn risk free returns.

Why is there gap between cash price & futures price?

• Stockfutureshaveamonthlyexpirycycleandexpireonthe last Thursday of every month.

• Instock-futuresarbitrageyoubuyinthecashmarketandsell the same stock in the same quantity in the futures market. Since the futures price expires at the same price as the spot price on the Future & Option (F&O) expiry

day, the difference becomes the risk-free spread for the arbitrageur.

• Futurespricepertain tosumof theprevailingspotpriceand a cost of carry; generally known as the interest cost.

• So, let's assume, if the annual risk-free rate of interest is12% then the1-month future'spricemustbeata1%(12% / 12) premium to the cash price. Of course, in reality the futures price is determined by a variety of other factors, but this is one of the key factors. Therefore, by buying in the cash market and selling in the futures, you lock in that 1% returns per month.

• ForExample:theCashpriceofCYZstockson30thJune2020, is ` 100, while price for Futures contract expiring on 30 July 2020 is ` 101. So,the Arbitrage spread is {(101-100)/100}, which is 1% that is return of 30 days. So annualised return in this case is 1% × (365/30) =12.16%.

What is a rollover?

Rollover involves carrying forward of futures positions from one series, which is nearing expiry date, to the next one. On expiry, Fund Managers can either let a position lapse or enter into a similar contract expiring at a future date. Rollovers happen only in futures and not in options.

Roll Spread

A roll spread is a difference between the price of a stock and the price of its futures contract.

Equity derivatives contracts in India are settled on the last Thursday of every month (If Thursday is a holiday, the settlement happens on Wednesday).

Rollover is expressed as a percentage of total positions.

Broadly, rollover is an indicator of traders’ willingness to carry forward their bets on the market. But, the figures will not tell you on which direction traders have bet.
