NOVEMBER 2019 For private circulation only What is Real Rate of Return? In simple terms, it is the return you earn above the inflation rate – which is the rate at which the prices, in general, are rising. To exemplify, if you invest in a fixed deposit which is today giving you a return of say 8% and the inflation is 6% then the real rate of return that you are generating would be 2%, ie., actual return (less) inflation for the period. The logic is simple – R100 one or say 10 years ago does not carry the same value today because things have become costly due to inflation. Generally, consumer price Index growth (CPI) or wholesale price index growth (WPI) is taken as inflation indicators. Having understood what's the real rate of return is, the question is how it is related to wealth creation. Let's understand what actually wealth creation means. Putting jargons aside wealth creation in simple terms is the increase in one's ability to purchase more things. If one feels his ability to purchase things have increased substantially over a period of time, one can simply say he has created wealth. How can one increase its ability to purchase more through prudently investing? That's a very right question to be answered. Let's go back to our example of one investing into a fixed deposit with 8% absolute return and 2% real rate of Return. Say the investor had R1,000 to invest in a fixed deposit. At 8% of interest rate, the value after one year of the amount invested would be R1,080. Now assume that with R1,000 he could have bought 50 packets of milk priced at R20. Now with 6% inflation (assumed price increase of milk), the price of milk packet would be R21.3 after one year. At R1080 available with the investor from his investment he now would be able to buy 51 packets of milk. The purchasing power of the investor has increased by one packet of milk thanks to the positive real rate of return. Had his return on investment been equal to the inflation he would still be able to buy only 50 packets of milk. And had his investment return lesser than the inflation, negative real rate, his capacity to buy milk packets would get reduced. That is the explanation why for creating wealth it is important to look at the real rate of returns and not the absolute returns on your investment. Now interestingly let us look at the table below highlighting the approximate real rate of return across different asset class in India from 1981 – 2019. The question to ask is how it has increased the purchasing power similar to our example above over the period?

NOVEMBER 2019For private circulation only

What is Real Rate of Return?In simple terms, it is the return you earn above the inflation rate – which is the rate at which the prices, in general, are rising. To exemplify, if you invest in a fixed deposit which is today giving you a return of say 8% and the inflation is 6% then the real rate of return that you are generating would be 2%, ie., actual return (less) inflation for the period. The logic is simple – R100 one or say 10 years ago does not carry the same value today because things have become costly due to inflation. Generally, consumer price Index growth (CPI) or wholesale price index growth (WPI) is taken as inflation indicators.

Having understood what's the real rate of return is, the question is how it is related to wealth creation. Let's understand what actually wealth creation means. Putting jargons aside wealth creation in simple

terms is the increase in one's ability to purchase more things. If one feels his ability to purchase things have increased substantially over a period of time, one can simply say he has created wealth.

How can one increase its ability to purchase more through prudently investing?That's a very right question to be answered. Let's go back to our example of one investing into a fixed deposit with 8% absolute return and 2% real rate of Return. Say the investor had R1,000 to invest in a fixed deposit. At 8% of interest rate, the value after one year of the amount invested would be R1,080. Now assume that with R1,000 he could have bought 50 packets of milk priced at R20. Now with 6% inflation (assumed price increase of milk), the price of milk packet would be R21.3 after one year.

At R1080 available with the investor from his investment he now would be able to buy 51 packets of milk. The purchasing power of the investor has increased by one packet of milk thanks to the positive real rate of return. Had his return on investment been equal to the inflation he would still be able to buy only 50 packets of milk. And had his investment return lesser than the inflation, negative real rate, his capacity to buy milk packets would get reduced. That is the explanation why for creating wealth it is important to look at the real rate of returns and not the absolute returns on your investment.Now interestingly let us look at the table below highlighting the approximate real rate of return across different asset class in India from 1981 – 2019. The question to ask is how it has increased the purchasing power similar to our example above over the period?

REAL RATE OF RETURNUNDERSTANDING WEALTH CREATION

We as investors are mostly interested to know what returns I am going to get from my investments. It is seldom asked what is the real rate of return I am going to get.

It is very important to understand the real rate of return that is expected to come from one's investment rather than the absolute return which generally an investor ask for.

The results mesmerize us as to how the real rate of returns in equities over the period has increased the purchasing power and hence created wealth.

Never in the period considered had equities ever had a linear growth. There were many periods or phases when everyone considered to be the worst time for equity investors. For example, the equity markets in India post Harshad Mehta Scam (1994-1998) or post the Y2K technology bubble (1999-2001) or after the Lehman brothers (2008-2012) and many such periods of dullness. But over the longer period, equities still delivered a real rate of return which increased the purchasing power the most as illustrated in the table.

Does the real rate of return increase the purchasing power over the shorter period say 5 Years? The answer is complicated. For a change in purchasing power, we require both time and returns. Since the equity markets are volatile

over the short term, expecting the same level of returns observed over many decades may not be very realistic.

But what if we assume the same returns generated over 38 years to be generated in 5 years and measure the impact on the purchasing power?

There will be a marginal difference in the results, not enough to be too excited about. The power of compouding really does wonders in the long run. The real magic will start to happen only after say 15-20 years.

What do we mean by Asset Allocation?Asset allocation could be defined “as an investment strategy that aims to  balance risk and reward by apportioning a portfolio's assets according to an individual's goals, risk tolerance and investment horizon.” The three main asset classes - equities, fixed-income, and cash and equivalents - have different levels of risk and return, so each will behave differently over time.

Asset allocation establishes the framework of an investor’s portfolio and sets forth a plan by specifically identifying where to invest one’s money. The theory behind asset allocation is to spread your investments across different asset classes which helps to protect your portfolio from downturns in

any one asset. Since different investments are affected differently by economic events and market factors, owning different types of investments helps to reduce the chances that your portfolio will be adversely affected by a particular risk type.

As already mentioned, the investments can be in the following asset classes:

Stocks/Equities – Stocks, or equities, have historically offered the highest risk and highest returns.

Bonds & Fixed Income – Bonds have historically had less volatility than stocks, but the trade-off is that they offer more modest returns.

Cash & Cash Equivalents – Cash and equivalents are the least risky asset class since there’s very little risk of losing capital.

In addition to cash, these investments might include certificates of deposit, Treasury bonds, or other cash-like securities.

Benefits of Asset AllocationAsset allocation is very important as it serves various benefits as against having a concentrated portfolio of just one basket. Buy a mix of things like shares and commodities for higher potential growth and bonds and property for some stability. And avoid being too biased towards one market. Thus, asset allocation is essential to ensure that you reach your financial goals.

1. Optimal Return: In the absence of proper asset allocation, many individuals invest in an ad-hoc manner. This, in turn, makes it difficult for them to determine whether the

CONCLUSION:Equities change the purchasing power to a great extent and it been the biggest wealth creator across all asset class over a longer period, 10 years at least but longer the better, with the short term volatility. One would never understand why investors investing in equities start seeing returns on a day to day basis, expect consistent returns and then gets disturbed with short term negative returns.

It is important to have a firm long term belief and give time to your equity investments for Real Wealth Creation through Real Rate of Returns from Equity Investments.

WHY IS ASSET ALLOCATION IMPORTANT?From the time one decides to invest their money, they come across a world which offers them a variety of options to invest in. We would always want our hard-earned money should provide us with the ‘maximum returns’ which could satisfy our needs and wants.

Every investor has a different risk profile, financial history and different expectations about the future, and they expect a return according to these criteria. They search for an asset class which resonate with their investment objectives. But the question arises whether a particular class of asset could help the investor in every situation of the investment journey?

The saying, ‘don’t put all of your eggs in one basket’, has become a valuable metaphor for explaining why we should not direct our investments in only one asset class and why diversifying through asset allocation is important.

There is no simple formula that can find the right asset allocation for every individual. However, the consensus among most financial professionals is that asset allocation is one of the most important decisions that investors make and the principal determinant of the returns from the portfolio.

A majority of financial advisors advise asset allocation based on the age profile and/or life stage. Typically, one can use a crude formula of 100 (-) current age to derive at the proportion of investment into equities. The figure of 100 may even be considered as 110 or 120 depending on your life expectancy or risk orientation. Thus, for a conservative investor with age 40, investment into equities will be 60% and similar at 70% and 80% for a moderate and aggressive investor, respectively. However, the proper asset allocation suitable to you and your needs should be decided in consultation with your financial advisor.

return on investments is sufficient enough. Thus, proper asset allocation will help you determine how much return you can expect on your investments based on investment risks you are taking.

2. Risk Minimization: Based on your past investment experience or your willingness to take the risk you will make your future investments decision. If you want to earn higher returns by taking more risk, you can have the majority of your asset allocated in equity. But if you are in your retirement age and want to earn less volatile returns, investment in bonds or money market securities is the better option

3. Help investments align as per Time Horizon: Along with the risk profile, your

time horizon is also a key factor to decide the asset allocation, while you endeavour to achieve your financial goals. Your time horizon will determine in which asset class you should invest a dominant portion of your investible surplus.

4. Minimize Taxes: If you happen to be under 30% tax bracket and invest all of your savings in fixed deposit to keep your investments safe, then you are making a big mistake by paying a huge amount in taxes, which otherwise could have been legitimately saved. Tax consequences are different for every individual and every scenario so you should always view investment returns for post-tax returns on investments rather than pre-tax returns as

the post-tax return is the return which you get in your hand. A proper diversification would help in also minimising your tax outgo.

5. Diversification: ‘Put your eggs in different baskets’. One way to lower your risk without sacrificing the potential for higher returns is to spread your money more widely. Historically, the returns of stocks, bonds, and cash haven’t moved in unison. Market conditions that lead to one asset class

outperforming during a given time frame might cause another to underperform. The result of diversifying is less volatility for investors on a portfolio level since these movements offset each other. This ultimately leads to “egg-cellent” returns.

HOW MUCH TO ALLOCATE?

Page 4: For private circulation only NOVEMBER 2019 REAL RATE OF …For private circulation only NOVEMBER 2019 What is Real Rate of Return? In simple terms, it is the return you earn above

Q. What is your take on the RBI the downward reduction in the FY2020 GDP forecast from 6.9% to 6.1%? How of much will have an impact on the India growth story?

Answer: In our view the downward reduction in the GDP forecast from 6.9% to 6.1% is the recognition of the reality and doesn’t come as a surprise.

Q. What are the major triggers or red-flags in the economic fundamentals that you are cautious about and why? Do you find any silver lining.

Answer: Most of the negatives have been out in the open for quite some time. Of course there could be new negatives that might emerge.

The silver lining is that both the RBI and GOI have started the effort to arrest and hopefully reverse the vicious circle. The effect of the same will be seen with a lag.

Q. How do you see corporate tax-rate cut impacting the earnings growth for companies in medium to long term. How will impact the equity markets going forward?

Answer: While the corporate tax-rate cut is unequivocally positive, the earnings growth and the positive impact on companies will have to be seen in case-to-case basis. In fact, a few companies might continue with the old rate for some time. The move is definitely positive and the impact will be seen in medium to long term.

Q. We hear of a lot of sectors complaining of slowdown and lack of demand. Which are the sectors that looks promising /attractive to you in the present markets?

Answer: During significant deceleration, most sectors will get impacted by the slowdown and subsequent lack of demand. Sentiments will return to normalcy once markets starts performing. The sectors which we’re bullish on are speciality chemicals, capital goods and financials.

Q. Is there any change made in the investment strategy /process to suit the challenges posed by the market conditions? How are you identifying buy and sell opportunities in the present markets?

Answer: Currently Mid and small cap are offering attractive valuations and there are many stocks in the mid and small cap sector which offers high risk-reward opportunity. In fact our emphasis is to find such scrips and capitalise on the opportunity.

Q. What would be your advice to retail investors wanting to create wealth and wishing to invest in equities today? What return expectations can they expect for over say 5-7 years?

Answer: Our advice to retail investors wanting to create wealth and wishing to invest in equities today is to start a SIP/STP in small and midcap funds as the suitable way to create wealth in the medium term. As far as return expectations are concerned, it would not be right to comment anything since nobody can predict the market high and lows. The bottom line is stay invested!

Mutual funds add around 3.45 lakh folios in September

The mutual fund industry has added

3.45 lakh investor accounts in

September, taking the total tally to

8.56 crore, amid volatile market

conditions. In comparison, the

industry had added 4.8 lakh new

folios in August and more than 10

lakh folios in July. Folios are

numbers designated to individual

investor accounts. An investor can

have multiple folios. According to

data from Association of Mutual

Funds in India, the number of folios

with 44 fund houses rose to

8,56,26,244 at the end of September,

from 8,52,81,222 at the end of

lakh folios. The total folio count

stood at 8.48 lakh in July, 8.38 lakh in

June, 8.32 lakh in May and 8.27 lakh

in April. Market experts said the

addition of folios suggests that

investors were undeterred by the

market volatility. Besides, it indicates

their understanding of the market

risks associated in the mutual fund

schemes.

Research and development (R&D) spending by India Inc increased in 2018-19 (FY19) over the previous years (led by automobile and pharmaceutical sectors). But, it was still a small percentage of the total sales. In FY19, India Inc spent Rs 8,721.3 crore under the R&D head - nearly a �fth more than the amount in 2017-18 (FY18), which was Rs 7,098.5 crore.

Loans disbursed by NBFCs remain under stress, says CIBIL report

There was a general improvement in delinquency rates till the quarter ended June but it did reveal performance deterioration for smaller value personal loans and automobile loans.

Steps to start a plane-lease �nancing business in the country was also discussed, they said. India’s plans to expedite airport

development still trails that of China’s, which has set a goal of having 450 commercial airports by 2035, almost double the number at the end of 2018.

Forex reserves up by $3.5 bn to a new lifetime high of $446 billion

Economic Slump has bottomed out; expect revival from here: Govt o�cial

India's economic growth is showing signs of revival with pick-up in lending and recovery in the automobile sector, a top government o�cial said insisting that the slump in GDP growth has bottomed out. India's economic growth in April-June hit a six-year low of 5 per cent and there were signs that expansion may not have picked up substantially in the subsequent quarter. But with the onset of festival season in October, there are signs of a revival. Between October 1 and 9 alone, about Rs 81,000 crore has been extended as loans, adding that the lending momentum has only picked up in the following weeks.

India's cotton output set to jump 14%, exports to remain steady

India's cotton production in 2019/20 is likely to jump 13.6% due to a bigger cultivated area and a boost to yields from above-average monsoon rains, a leading trade body forecast. Exports from the world's biggest cotton producer, however, are likely to remain steady at last year's level of 4.2 million bales, the lowest in a decade, as prices in the local market are trading above the global benchmark, the Cotton Association of India (CAI) said.

India's cotton production in 2019/20 is likely to jump 13.6% due to a bigger cultivated area and a boost to yields from above-average monsoon rains, a leading trade body forecast.
