downwards to 7.0% from 7.2% earlier

• RBI cut repo rates by 25 bps to 6.0% to support

growth and meet inflation target of 4%

Global Growth Concerns

Uncertainty about growth weighed on the minds of central banks everywhere resulting in them adopting a cautious stance.

US FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

• The Fed lowered its GDP

growth forecast (2.1% to

2.3% earlier for 2019) &

inflation expectations

• Adopted a dovish stance of

not hiking rates further in

2019

EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

• Weakening economic data

points to a sizeable

moderation in pace of

economic expansion &

underlying inflation continues

to be muted

• Interest Rates to remain

unchanged throughout 2019

Source: RBI, European Central Bank, US Federal Reserve Monetary Policy Meet Minutes

Growth Numbers

Change in US Fed Stance and Opinion Poll Comfort led to record FPI flows (best since March-16). Going forward, FPI

ICICI Prudential PMS Contra Portfolio A series under “Deep Value" Portfolio

Contrarian Investing: How it works?

Out of the Flavour: Investing into

companies where prevailing

sentiments are not positive. Contrarian

Investing

Focus: Widespread pessimism

about a company can drive prices

low. Prices tend to overstate the

risk and understate the prospects

of recovery.

Avoids: Widespread optimism results in

high valuation that may lead to correction

when valuations are not justified by

fundamentals.

7

The aforesaid points are only indicative. There may be other factors that may be relevant for identification of a contrarian investing opportunity.

Why Contrarian Investing works?

Herd Behaviour

Prices of stocks are pushed

by investors to

unsustainable levels in both

direction.

Over reaction by market

participants leads to

underperformer become

under valued and

outperformer become over

valued.

Market Efficiency

Prices follow a random

walk, though when prices

fluctuates to extremes, they

are generally brought back

to equilibrium in time.

Investor behaviour causes

market to deviate from

fundamental values

creating inefficient markets.

Risk Factors & Disclaimers

Investing in securities involves certain risks and considerations associated generally with making investments in securities. The value of the portfolio investments may be affected

generally by factors affecting financial markets, such as price and volume, volatility in interest rates, currency exchange rates, changes in regulatory and administrative policies of the

Government or any other appropriate authority (including tax laws) or other political and economic developments. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the objective of the

Portfolio would be achieved. The value of the portfolios may fluctuate and can go up or down. The Stock(s)/Sector(s) mentioned in this material do not constitute any

recommendation of the same and the portfolios may or may not have any future positions in these Stock(s)/Sector(s).

The composition of the portfolio is subject to changes within the provisions of the disclosure document. The benchmark of the portfolios can be changed from time to time in the

future. The inability of the Portfolio Manager to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the portfolio to miss certain investment opportunities. By

the same rationale, the inability to sell securities held in the portfolio due to the absence of a well-developed and liquid secondary market for securities would result, at times, in

potential losses to the portfolio. Please note that past performance of the financial products, instruments and the portfolio does not necessarily indicate the future prospects and

performance thereof. Such past performance may or may not be sustained in future. Portfolio Manager’s investment decisions may not be always profitable, as actual market

movements may be at variance with anticipated trends. The investors are not being offered any guaranteed or assured returns. The AMC may be engaged in buying/selling of such

securities. Please refer to the Disclosure Document and Client Agreement for portfolio specific risk factors.

Individual returns of Clients for a particular portfolio type may vary significantly from the data on performance of the portfolios as may be depicted by the Portfolio Manager from

time to time. This is due to factors such as timing of entry and exit, timing of additional flows and redemptions, individual client mandates, specific portfolio construction

characteristics or structural parameters, which may have a bearing on individual portfolio performance. No claims may be made or entertained for any variances between the

performance depictions and individual portfolio performance. Neither ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Ltd. (the AMC) nor its Directors, Employees or Sponsors shall be

in any way liable for any variations noticed in the returns of individual portfolios.

The Client shall not make any claim against the Portfolio Manager against any losses (notional or real) or against any loss of opportunity for gain under various PMS Products, on

account of or arising out of such circumstance/ change in market condition or for any other reason which may specifically affect a particular sector or security.]
