Highlights of the Month » In the monetary policy review this month, RBI left the key rates

unchanged, repo rate at 6% and reverse repo at 5.75%.

» Insurance regulator IRDA allowed private equity investment funds to invest in insurance companies through special purpose vehicles with a lock in of 5 years if they come in as promoters. As an investor a fund can invest up to 10% of paid up capital of an insurance company.

» The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) last month announced that it would credit exchange traded fund (ETF) units in the provident fund account of subscribers. This means, the equity component of your EPF money will get unitized and you will not only be able to track your EPF investments in equities but also realise the gains from the stock market at the time of withdrawal.

» IDFC Mutual Fund is the latest fund house to join the ranks of those which have restricted heavy lump-sum investments in their funds. It has limited lump-sum investment in IDFC Focused Equity Fund to Rs 2 lakh a day. Similar restrictions have been imposed in the recent past in other funds: DSP BlackRock Micro Cap, Edelweiss Tax Advantage, L&T Emerging Businesses, and SBI Small and Midcap Fund.

» In the revised circular of Mutual fund guidelines, Sebi prescribed that for equity funds, the market capitalization for the previous six months would be considered.

» In addition, for medium and medium-to-long term debt funds, the fund manager is now allowed to reduce the fund duration by one year if there are adverse interest rate movements. Fund houses have been asked to specify asset allocation in case of such adverse situations in their offer documents.

» The circular also clarified that a corporate bond fund can invest only in AA+ and higher-rated instruments while credit risk fund can invest in AA and lower rated securities.

» The board of HDFC Asset Management Co Ltd on November 30th gave its approval to begin the process for launching an initial public offering (IPO) of India’s second-biggest mutual fund manager by assets. Standard Life Aberdeen Plc and mortgage lender Housing Development Finance Corp Ltd will own a minimum 24.99 per cent and 50.01 percent, respectively, in HDFC AMC post IPO, subject to regulatory approvals.

» In contrast, gold ETFs continued to see net outflow of Rs 89 crore.

Market Review

The Indian market has rallied to be one of the top performing ones in the world in 2017. The reasons were several - easy availability of money globally, India’s improving economic fundamentals, the government’s demonstration of its serious intent for economic reforms, signs of a turnaround in corporate earnings and state poll results favoring the ruling BJP-led alliance.

The Sensex closed with a 28% gain at while the Nifty was up 29% . According to market experts, the introduction of GST and the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) were the most significant moves by the government. And the emergence of the domestic mutual fund industry as a strong counterbalance to foreign funds was an important shift in the country’s financial space.

It was also the year when real estate stocks made a strong comeback, while pharma stocks - considered by many as a defensive bet - lost substantial ground.

It Should be pointed out that 2018 may not be as smooth as 2017. Already there are increasing macro concerns like growing fiscal deficit and government’s higher borrowing at a time when its revenue collections are faltering, crude oil prices are rallying and inflation is rising. Let’s hope for the best!!!

1.Foreign Trade: India registered a

merchandise trade deficit of USD 13.83

billion in Nov’17 against USD 13.40

billion in Nov’16. It is increasing by

3.24% on Y-o-Y basis.

On an M-o-M basis however, the trade deficit contracted by 1.35% from USD 14.02 billion recorded in Oct’17.

The country’s merchandise exports was reported at USD 26.20 billion in Nov’17 as against USD 20.07 billion recorded in Nov’16, recording an impressive surge of 30.55% Y-o-Y.

Non-petroleum exports constituting around 86% of the total exports, stood at USD 22.61 billion, recording a Y-o-Y growth of 28.42% in Nov’17.

Petroleum exports saw a Y-o-Y growth of 45.71% in Nov’17 with exports worth USD 3.59 billion against USD 2.46 billion in Nov’16. o The country witnessed an improvement in exports during the month of November across the various segments of engineering goods, Gems & Jewellery, Organic & Inorganic Chemicals and Drugs & Pharmaceuticals

among others.

2.Inflation:

Reflecting upward pressures to commodity prices, wholesale inflation quickened to 3.93% in Nov-17 as against 3.59% in Oct-17. Acceleration in food prices significantly contributed to this inflationary bias, supported however by a favorable statistical base. WPI stands at 2.72% for FYTD18 as compared to 3.85% in the corresponding period in the previous year.

Coming in significantly higher than expectations, headline CPI for Nov-17 printed at 4.88% as pricing pressures from most components show no signs of easing. Not only did the food and fuel components surprise on the upside but broad based inflationary pressures

were observed across all components.

Core inflation, however, stood 31 bps higher at 4.86% compared to 4.55% as implementation of HRA under the 7th CPC continued to impact housing prices.

3.Index of Industrial Production (IIP):

Industrial production as measured by IIP saw some moderation standing at 2.2% in Oct-17 as compared to 4.2% in Sep-17. Strong growth impulses emanating from the mining sector aided despite the sequential contraction observed in both manufacturing and electricity sectors. We believe that this growth in these latter sectors will experience a rebound going forward as teething

problems associated with GST ease.

Among the BSE sectoral indices, S&P BSE Health Care Index 5.87%, S&P BSE METAL Index5.77%, were the gainers while S&P BSE BANKEX Index and S&P BSE PSU Index were at 0.70% and 0.72% were on the lowest side.

Amongst the NSE Sector indices, NIFTY PSU BANK Index -2.31%, NIFTY BANK Index 0.65% were the losers where as NIFTY AUTO Index 5.42% NIFTY MNC Index 6.85% were the on the higher side.

It was a low month for the major Asian Indices as Hangseng, Taiwan, Nikkei 225 ended by .065% and -1.31%, 0.74%.

All major European indices ended in positive territory with BEL-20 & FTSE 100 going up by 0.03% and 3.78%.

Peace of mind and Wealth Creation ideas for long term

Karvy Insights brings to you investment wisdom to help our investors make sound investment decisions and reach their goals faster. These inputs may not help you become wealthy in a short span of time, but they would definitely give you peace of mind and a roadmap for your financial journey.

Mutual Funds Risk ProfilingMutual fund advertisements carry a disclosure on risks. Mutual fund schemes were labeled as blue (low risk), yellow (medium risk) and brown (high risk). Ever wonder why? These are indicators that help investors take decisions in line with their risk profile and investment objectives.

The Association of Mutual Funds of India has issued broad guidelines to mutual funds to classify the risk profile of funds as follows:

The mutual fund universe is huge and, hence, investors can use the new riskometer to choose schemes which are in sync with their risk appetite. The riskometer will be particularly useful to investors who are new to the world of mutual funds. In addition, investors are advised to consult their financial advisor and check other criteria such as portfolio attributes and performance parameters before investing.

FIVE FACTS ABOUT DEBT MARKET NOT TO MISS OUT

Debt mutual funds invest in debt or fixed income securities. So, what are these securities and what is the significance of them? Here are five important facts on debt markets in India.

1. What is the Debt Market?

The Debt Market is the market where fixed income securities of various types and features are issued and traded. Debt Markets are therefore, markets for fixed income securities issued by Central and State Governments, Municipal Corporations, Govt. bodies and commercial entities like Financial Institutions, Banks, Public Sector Units, Public Ltd. companies and also structured finance instruments.

2. What is the Money Market?

The Money Market is basically concerned with the issue and trading of securities with short term maturities or quasi-money instruments. The Instruments traded in the money-market are Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposits (CDs), Commercial Paper (CPs), Bills of Exchange and other such instruments of short-term maturities (i.e. not exceeding 1 year with regard to the original maturity).

3. Why should one invest in fixed income securities?

Fixed Income securities offer a predictable stream of payments by way of interest and repayment of principal at the maturity of the instrument. The debt securities are issued by the eligible entities against the moneys borrowed by them from the investors in these instruments. Therefore, most debt securities carry a fixed charge on the assets of the entity and generally enjoy a reasonable degree of safety by way of the security of the fixed and/or movable assets of the company.

The investors benefit by investing in fixed income securities as they preserve and increase their invested...

Like every year, there were several contenders.

North Korea’s ‘little rocket man’ can take it easy as Trump, America’s Twitter-in-chief is likely to be occupied with his real agenda on Tehran, Trade and Tax for some time. The pace of hiring and firing makes the White House look like an AirBNB guest house. The costliest guest for Trump could be Special Counsel Mueller investigating Russian involvement in elections. Steve Bannon may be out, the Bannonism lives on. The Americans witnessed a total solar eclipse but the Charlottesville videos were a lot darker. May Jerusalem send the true spirit of holy messages from all religions to United States of Amnesia. That would truly make America great again.

Jacob Zuma and the Mugabe couple’s long honeymoon with power is reaching an end. A classic case of how politician corrupted by cronies can convert a great African safari into a Jungle-Raj.

Crude oil gave a rude shock to those writing obituaries on fossil fuel. Demand grew while Saudi Prince’s determination to arrest OPEC supply as well as other oligarchs fueled the rally. Support of Putin’s Kremlin, Shale producers and geopolitical risks could add more steam.

I thought of the great global equity rally. Risk assets rode high on a concoction of synchronized growth sans inflation, continuing central back largesse and creative stories like a new technological renaissance. No price is considered high enough for FAANG stocks in US or TATS, their Asian equivalents. ETF managers are the new Lords of the Ring. I will now bet on surviving active managers. Dear Warren Buffet, another bet?

Why not Bitcoin? Yes, blockchain technology has massive potential but what stops virtual miners from creating unlimited types of limited edition chit-coin, kit-coin or s*it-coin. What’s in a name? A coin by any other name would sell as sweet. Don’t ask Da Vinci to solve this code, he is busy in heaven painting another $450 million piece.

Jerome Powell may continue to yell dovishly like Yellen, but is well advised to cap the well of liquidity. Other central banks should pay heed. Ballooning asset prices and technological shifts are creating riches for a privileged few while stagnating real income growth for the majority. Divide can make Ed Sheeran a popular star but economic divide will turn popular tide against policy makers. I thought of Xi Jinping, the most powerful leader in China’s recent history. Whether it’s crackdown on pollution, corruption and shadow banking, naval expansion in the South China Sea, One Belt-One Road project or progress in scientific research, the world underestimates China’s ambitions. China is more than willing and working hard to occupy the space vacated by US as the prominent super power. Only time will tell whether it rises on top or crumbles under its debt burden.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Usain Bolt deserve accolades but Roger Federer mesmerized us. What a comeback! With his perfection, agility and calmness, he looked like a meditator on the court. I am looking forward to the Tokyo Olympics as a gracefully aging Japan welcomes us with young robots. Mrs. Watanabe can cheer with Abenomics bringing a cherry blossom of rising growth and stock prices.

Modi’s India cheered Ranking fall (ease of doing business) and Rating rise (Moody’s). The midnight launch of GST is India’s another ‘tryst with destiny’. Hopefully, next year if Gabbar Singh asks “Kitne Tax dete hai”, Kaalia’s answer would be ‘Sarkar, everyone.’ Rahul (RG) had a Hardik desire to win Gujarat. His prayers did ring bells, but couldn’t stop Modi’s chariot reaching the assembly. Yogi is the Nath (lord) of UP, a state with 200 million inhabitants, as

large as Brazil. The Supreme Court Single-mindedly supported women, set aside Double standards and banned Triple talaaq.

I salute the Indian scientists who discovered a new supercluster, Saraswati, some 4000 million light years away. May the force be with these Jedi knights, the real Guardians of our galaxy. Fake Godmen like Gurmeet saw their stars waning.

Indian Investors are SIPping mutual funds while sapping their connection with real estate and gold. Hope the funds and expectations remain “balanced”. Insurers claimed a hefty equity gain from primary markets. Retail lenders had a wholesome time. Bankers were empowered to deal with bad loans and showered with recap bonds to make good loans next year.

If ‘data’ is the new oil, India can create the biggest OPEC - Open Platform for Entrepreneurs and Civil society. Aadhar will be the Aadhar (foundation) of India’s high-rise in a digitalized world. A billion plus connected citizens can transform India from a ‘data poor’ to the most ‘data rich’ society. Of course, we must protect against cyber-risks like ‘wannacry’, if we wanna try to drill the deepest well. If this data is public property, then it should primarily be used for collective prosperity. We will only be constrained by our imagination.

Harvey Hurricane, Mexican earthquake and floods across the world reminded us the inconvenient truth of climate-change. Wildfires raged across California, while the Supreme Court doused fireworks to ease Delhi’s pollution chamber. Despite getting trumped by US, Bonn COP23 summit promised to power past coal and contain emissions ‘further, faster and together’. We need much more sparks of innovation.

The world may be more prosperous but humanity is facing immense challenges like climate change, inequality and technological disruptions. Amidst deteriorating political discourse and unimaginative policymaking, a breed of entrepreneurs are striving to tunnel alternative solutions. Elon Musk is one such visionary. This immigrant entrepreneur’s batteries are always super-charged with innovative ideas like Hyperloop, electric trucks, Open AI and Neuralink. He shows strands of Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison. His views on potential of artificial intelligence vs. our natural irrationality are worthy of deeper debate. Tesla’s Model-S may not be the eventual leader in the EV race, the stock may perhaps crash, SpaceX may succumb to financial strains but hopefully Elon’s legacy as an intrepid innovator and dreamer will inspire future generations of entrepreneurs. The sheer ingenuity to change the world (and beyond) makes Elon Musk my ‘Person of the year’. A Standing Innovation!

Story of The Month

Once a Master had a dog who used to play every evening with the Master. The Master used to throw a stick and the dog would fetch it and bring it back. The same game was played with a ball too.

One particular evening, the Master invited his students to join him. He wanted to teach them a lesson on learning the importance of words only being guideposts.

Master said, “You must understand that words which are used to teach you are just guideposts. Let me demonstrate...”

With this the teacher called his dog and pointing to the moon said,

“Fetch me the moon!”

VISION TO ACHIEVE GOALS

He asked his students “Tell me where my dog is looking?”

One student answered, “He is looking at the moon”.

The Master said to observe carefully.

On careful observation, another student answered, “He is looking at your finger”.

Master looked at the students and said, “Exactly! Do not get confused with the pointing finger and what is being pointed at. You need to understand that every word and sign is only a guidepost to your ultimate goal!”
