Macroeconomic Update: Recovery on track
• Growth Outlook – GDP likely to contract in FY21; Steep contraction seen in Q1
– Lockdown and Loss of incomes likely to lead to weak consumption
– Cut back on industrial capex driven by weak corporate profitability
– Improvement in current account due to low oil prices and weak imports
to cushion the impact
• FY22 should see healthy rebound driven by base effect, full year of normal
activity, income normalization, low interest rates, etc. should boost spending and
pick up in capex^
• Fiscal deficit position stretched with combined fiscal deficit (Center plus states)
likely to breach ~12.5% (refer Chart 2, Source: Kotak Institutional Equities)

RBI leading from the front; Unconventional tools lend support
• In its first meeting after the new MPC members were inducted, RBI unveiled number of steps to “provide impetustowards reviving the economy” and easing financial conditions
• RBI kept interest rates unchanged but guided it is likely to maintain accommodative stance into the next financial
year; in effect, it implies rates are likely to remain “lower for longer”
• Doubled each OMO auction size to INR 200 bn, from existing INR 100 bn
• Announced to conduct OMOs for State Development Loans (SDLs)
• On-Tap TLTROs of upto INR 1 trillion which can be used for on-lending by banks as loans apart from investment
in NCDs and CPs
• Extended the dispensation of enhanced HTM limits of 22% (from 19.5%, done on 1 September 2020) of NDTL by
one year to 31 March 2022 for SLR securities bought between 1 September 2020 and 31 March 2021
• Rationalised the risk weights for housing loans to incentivise institutions for higher lending to the sector
• RBI also believes that current elevated inflation is “transient” in nature and is likely to trend down
to ~4% by Q1FY22.
• Clarity on Gsec supply removes the overhang, at least in the near term
• With announcement of revised borrowing calendar by GoI, market participants have more certainty of total supply
of Gsec for the current year
RBI interventions likely to limit upside move in yields in the foreseeable future

Interest Rate Outlook
Factors supporting lower yields
• RBI and major Central banks likely to continue with
accommodative stance and low rates
• Uncertainty over global growth outlook remains due to
disruption and risk of second wave of infections
• Commodity prices likely to be range bound given the weak
growth outlook in near term
• Unconventional tools used by RBI to improve transmission of
rate cuts (Operation TWIST, LTROs, Targeted LTROs,
increasing HTM limit, OMOs for State Development Loans,
etc.)
• Muted credit growth vs. deposit growth; Ample global and
domestic liquidity
Factors opposing lower yields
• Large supply of dated securities by Central and State
Governments
• Excess SLR securities holding of PSU banks
• Near term inflation likely to remain above RBI’s target
of 4%
• Economic activity showing sign of recovery and likely
to improve sequentially
In our view, schemes with short to medium duration offer better risk adjusted returns

Our Investment Philosophy for Fixed Income
• In-depth credit assessment / risk control is key to our credit investments
• Indian fixed income markets have limited liquidity, hence philosophy of SLR for credit,
generally prioritized in that order
Safety – Superior credit quality
Liquidity – Prefer securities with better liquidity; focused on portfolio liquidity
Returns – Risk reward is the key & not yield alone
• Given that credit markets can deteriorate without much warning, even in the best of
credit environments, our endeavour is to be prudent on credit risk.
Refer disclaimer on slide 19

Disciplined Credit Process with Prudent Liquidity Management
• Focus on Safety Liquidity & Returns (SLR) has helped schemes in managing liquidity when faced with
elevated redemptionpressures.
• Emphasis on Four C’s of Credit
Characterof Management (e.g. avoided exposure to a large distressed housing finance company)
Capacity to Pay (e.g. avoided exposure to a large distressed infrastructure company)
Collateral pledged to secure debt (e.g. recovered large portion of investment backed by shares of large media company)
Covenants of debt (e.g. recovered investment from a MFI player due to covenants)
• Risk Control achieved through conservative sizing of exposure based on proprietary Credit Scoring Model
which factors in – Parentage, Financials, Rating & Outlook.List of companies / Groups which faced stress*

• Over last decade, in our assessment, MFs have experienced instances of creditstress* in nearly 20 companies / Groups.
• HDFC MF was not exposed to most such stressed cases (Highlighted in Red)
• Even is cases where HDFC MF had exposure, we recovered major portion of ourinvestment due to Covenants, good business/Collateral and parentage (Highlighted inGreen)
• Overall credit costs have been minimal for HDFC MF (Stressed exposures at ~1.2% ofAUM of affected schemes as on 30th September 2020)
$ Principal exposure to IL&FS SPV and Simplex Infrastructure at time of credit stress was ~Rs. 358 cr. After the 50% haircut, the market value of these exposure is currently at ~Rs. 179 cr. As
of Sept’20, market value of exposure to Sadbhav Group ~Rs. 204 cr, Thus, total market value of stressed exposure is ~Rs. 384 cr or ~1.2% of total AUM of affected schemes. *Stress is
