We broadly followed strategy of investing into good quality companies, where we are confident of earningsdelivery over the next 12 months. We have added Chola Finance and Orient Electricals in our portfolio during the month. Chola is an excellent fit in to our midcap strategypost valuation correction it has witnessed due to liquidity squeeze in NBFC sector.

Stocks Name Rationale

Kansai Nerolac PaintsLtd.

• Kansai Nerolac serves customers across the paint segment, such as decorative, wood coatings, automotive, auto refinish, performancecoating and powder coating.

• 40% of revenue of Kansai comes from the Auto industry. • Strong growth trajectory of Passenger car segment. The auto industry is expected to continue witnessing double digit growth for the medium

term. • Kansai with a higher share of industrial coating sales vs. peers, reported healthy 17% sales growth with underlying volumes up 16-

17% in Q1FY19. Subdued crude prices will further help the performance.

Tata Chemicals

• Tata Chemicals is a key global player in Soda Ash (has presence in India, Kenya, UK and USA; manufactures both Synthetic and Natural form),has a good brand in "Tata Salt" and is expanding presence in the consumer focused business (has presence in pulses). The Company has soldboth its Urea and Complex fertilizer businesses and decided to focus more on consumer facing businesses.

• It looks like the supply-demand scenario seems to be well balanced with some capacities getting shut in China, while there has been somecapacity addition the market was able to absorb the additional production without big correction in prices. Industry players expects Soda Ashprices to remain firm with favorable near-term outlook.

• Tata Chemical's decision to move away from the Fertilizer business is positive, its overall return ratios will increase from ~12% to +18% orso, further with the cash coming in the company is set to become debt free by FY20. The company recently monetized its holding in TataGlobal Beverages, it further has sizeable investments across other group companies which could get monetized / unlocked.

Trent

• Trent is an excellent play on the fast growing retail segment. It has retail presence through its Westside stores and also has a JV with Inditexof Spain for selling “Zara” brand in India.

• Zara is the fastest growing apparel company globally with 7500 shops in 75 countries and operates under 8 brands.• Trent is amongst the few profitable apparel brand company in the listed space that can support their future expansions as well as fund the

new format ventures within the same category.• Star Bazaar, another joint venture with TESCO addresses the grocery/ other home needs of a customer and has the potential to pose a formidable

competition to the likes in the same category in future.
