Dear Investor,

India registered growth rate of 8.2 per cent, the fastest in past eight quarters, in its gross domestic product during the first quarter of the financial year 2018-19. The Indian economy managed a strong show in the April-June quarter of the current fiscal on the back of strong core performance and a healthy base.

The GDP growth rate of 8.2 per cent makes India the fastest growing major economy in the world and that comes as a boost for the government after demonetisation and GST had led to a slowdown in the economy. Earlier this month, China had reported a 6.7 per cent growth for June quarter compared with 6.8 per cent in March quarter. The positive feature of the growth dynamics is buoyancy in employment- supporting sectors such as construction and manufacturing as well as rise in private consumption spending growth.

There are visible signs of revival in domestic demand which has boosted output of both manufacturing and services. Besides, credit offtake has picked up and there has been uptick in construction as well as government expenditure. Bank credit grew 12.8% in the April-June 2018.A normal monsoon together with the increase in the minimum support price for Kharif crops is likely to support rural demand. Hence, despite external headwinds from higher oil prices and tightening financial conditions, growth prospects for the remainder of the year remains in line with economy's potential.

India's weight in MSCI Emerging Market Index increased by a record 76 basis points so far this year largely on account of the sharp rally in Sensex and Nifty. While the Sensex gained 2.99 percent in the month of August, the mid-cap and small cap indices of the BSE were up 5.22 and 3.40 percent respectively.

The volatility in these two segments is likely to ease over the next six months or so.

The Sensex has gained 12 percent this year, emerging as the best performer among all global benchmark indices.

Equity Outlook

Consumer price inflation in July rose 4.2 percent compared with the same

month last year, declining from the five-month high of 5.0 percent in June.

Retail inflation cooled more than expected in July due to subdued food prices

after the Monetary Policy Committee raised interest rates for the second

straight time.

Despite global tensions, India continues to remain largely unaffected in the

global context. The Indian rupee fell to an all-time low of 70.85. In

comparison with currencies of its trading partners, the Indian rupee continues

to remain strong on a relative basis. Oil prices have remained at the US$70/bbl

which has been budgeted for by the government. Any further jumps in Crude

could be a cause for concern for both the RBI and the government.

High frequency indicators are consistent with growth recovery gathering pace

in Q2 2018 and Q3 2018. Consumption growth remains the key driver, while

exports growth has remained robust. On the investment side, capital goods

imports and order inflows of engineering and construction companies

indicate a nascent recovery.

Rural and consumption stories continue to remain attractive with a long term

perspective. Here we are currently focusing on market place disruptors. There

are two types of disruptors, Traditional bellwethers looking to reinvent the

market place and new disruptors which enter the markets and change the way

the industry does business. Our investment focus continues to remain quality

centric.

Going-forward, we continue to expect elevated volatility levels in the equity

markets and hence advise investors to look at equity allocations from a

medium to long term investment horizon. Systematic investments into equity

products could also help investors ride out short term volatility.

Investing money is a process that requires investors to plan at the beginning

and tackle the numerous challenges that may emerge periodically during their

defined time horizon. This needs to be done in a manner that portfolio remains

on track to achieve various short, medium and long-term investment goals.

Unfortunately, not many investors plan their investments well and even those

who plan, often abandon the process, when faced with uncertainties. At times,

even the most seasoned investors allow their portfolios to drift and thus pay a

heavy price in the form of compromising long-term goals for short term gains.

No wonder, investors have had mixed experiences with their mutual fund

investments. However, it is good to see increasing number of investors

adopting SIP route to invest in mutual funds with a clear time commitment.

This has enabled them to tackle the current volatility in the stock market well

and remain committed to their investment process. As more and more

investors join this disciplined section of investing public, mutual funds will

find its rightful place in their portfolios.

While this entire process is likely to take time as it involves changing the

mindset, investors will do well to take a few steps in the interim to make their

portfolio more effective. Here are a few key steps and how these can benefit

investors.

Embrace ELSS

We often see investors making haphazard decisions to save taxes at the fag-

end of the year. Also, since tax saving investments are not made an integral

part of their overall investment process, due consideration is not given to asset

allocation and investment options like ELSS that have the potential to provide

highest returns amongst all eligible investments under Section 80. ELSS are

often ignored as investors have misconceptions about equity as an asset class.

Those tax-payers, who face this dilemma,need to realize that investing in

ELSS is the best way to understand the stock market vagaries and learn how to

tackle them. The mandatory lock-in period of 3 years and discipline of

investing through SIP helps them stay invested and realize how investments

grow over time despite bouts of volatilities. Once they get comfortable with

equities, it becomes much easier to increase exposure to this asset class. This

goes a long way in improving long-term returns on their portfolios.

Dividend Payout vs SWP

For those who require regular income from their mutual fund investments,

there is a choice to opt for dividend payout. Depending upon the type of fund

one is invested in, dividend is received at a pre-decided interval. The Union

Budget 2018 introduced a Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) @10 percent on

dividend paid by equity and equity-oriented hybrid funds. Debt funds were

already required to pay DDT of 25 percent. Therefore, investors must review

their strategy to reduce the impact of DDT on their regular income. Enrolling

for a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) can be an effective strategy as long-

term capital gains, that is, gains from redemption of units after 12 months

from equity and equity-oriented hybrid funds up to ` 1 lakh are not taxable.

Moreover, when a fixed sum is redeemed every month, only a part of the

proceeds is taxed as capital gains. However, one should sign up for SWP only

after allowing investments to grow for a period that makes them eligible for

long-term capital gains.

Invest in Hybrid Funds

While it is a proven fact that equities have the potential to out-perform other

asset classes over long-term, many investors hesitate to invest in pure equity

funds. Also, equity funds are not suitable for investors who can't put the

money aside for longer durations. This is where hybrid funds, that is, those

investing in a mix of equity and debt have a role to play. Investors have the

option of choosing between debt and equity-oriented hybrid funds based on

their time horizon and risk profile. Some of the examples of hybrid funds are

equity savings funds, balanced advantage funds and hybrid equity funds.

These hybrid funds, especially those that have a combined exposure of equity

and arbitrage to the tune of 65% percent or more, have the potential to provide

higher gross and post-tax returns than options like fixed deposits and debt

funds.

Give Equity A Rightful Place In Your Portfolio

Traditional investment options like fixed deposits and small savings schemes

continue to remain the most preferred choices for a majority of investors in

our country. No wonder, despite being the most dynamic and potentially the

best asset class in terms of returns over the longer term, equity hasn't been able

to get a rightful place in investment universe of Indian investors.

There have been instances in the past when investors abandoned equities due

to their not-so-pleasant experiences. Then, there are those who have stayed

away for lack of familiarity. While it is heartening to see increasing number of

investors taking Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) route to invest in equity

funds, there is still a large section of investing public that remains skeptical

about the role this asset class can play in their wealth building process.

If you are one of those investors who are still unsure about taking the plunge,

it's time to rethink so as to ensure that there is enough money available at

different stages of your life. Choosing the right investment vehicle is equally

important as the process involves selection of sectors, stocks, monitoring the

impact of various domestic and global events on the stock markets in general

and the companies in your portfolio, in particular.

If you are someone who is not aware about nuances of investing in the stock

market directly, mutual funds will be an ideal choice for you. However, you

must choose your funds well to achieve investment success within your

defined time horizon. Here are a couple of key aspects that will require your

attention.

Let suitability drive your choice of funds

Investors often get enamored with short term performance of funds and hence

end up investing either in funds that are aggressive by nature like mid and

small cap, sector and thematic funds or the ones that follow aggressive

investment strategy like having a concentrated portfolio and taking contrarian

bets. The general perception is that if a fund has been doing well in the past, it

is most likely to continue performing well going forward too. While past

performance is one of the key criteria while selecting a fund, knowing how

much risk the fund manager took to generate those returns is more important.

Besides, when you chase short-term performance, either you will make your

portfolio more aggressive or more conservative than you would have liked it

to be. That's because, in good times, you will be tempted to invest more in

equities and during volatile times in debt funds. Both these can have a serious

impact on your wealth creation process. Remember, the key factors are to

focus on asset class that suits your time horizon and invest in funds that are

consistent both in terms of following their investment philosophies and

providing returns vis-à-vis their peer group.

Be prepared to wait out volatile periods

Volatility is a natural phenomenon in the stock market. However, it shouldn't

be the cause for not investing in equities as over the longer term, equity as an

asset class, has the potential to ensure that you stay ahead of inflation.

Remember, your returns from equity funds will largely depend upon how you

tackle these bouts of volatility in the marketplace. The best way to do so is to

stay committed to your time horizon and follow a disciplined investment

process.

Having a defined time horizon ensures that intermittent volatility doesn't

compel you to make haphazard decisions like moving in and out of equity

funds. Similarly, investing through SIP brings in a discipline in your

investment process as a fixed amount is kept aside towards achieving your

varied investment goals. Besides, it helps you in bringing your average cost

down as well as keeping emotions out of your investment process. However,

it would be wrong to assume that if you invest thru SIP, you won't see any

losses in your portfolio. The fact is that SIP minimizes losses in the short term

and improves returns in the long-term. Therefore, once you sign up for SIP, be

prepared to wait out volatile periods and avoid making any haphazard

decisions.

Financial planning is the process of making informed money management decisions to secure your future. Financial planning helps to achieve financial goals and meet personal priorities, taking into consideration available resources, responsibilities, risk appetite and lifestyle. A financial plan lays down the allocation of savings across various asset classes to achieve an appropriate risk-reward balance.

Do you need a financial plan?All individuals and families regardless of age or income need a financial plan so that they know that they are saving enough for retirement, education funds or a new home. A financial plan gives you the discipline necessary to save money.
