Post correction in January 2021, the markets rallied by 6% during the month of February 2021, to close at all time high levels of 14,530 level. The month started on a positive note with the announcement of the Union Budget. Key benchmark indices gained as there was no change in tax rates, focus was on growth and increase in spending. Better-than-expected, 3QFY21 results also boosted investor sentiment. However, the market remained concerned about the sharp rise in bond yields and a sudden increase in Covid-19 cases in a few Indian states. Among various sectors, power, metal, realty, banking outperformed the markets while IT, FMCG underperformed. In the Monetary policy in February, the Monetary Policy Committee (“MPC”) kept the Repo rate and Reverse Repo rate unchanged. The MPC maintained its “Accommodative” stance. All Six members of MPC voted in favour of the decision. The RBI estimated inflation to average at 5%-5.2% in H1 FY22 and 4.3% in Q3 FY22. RBI expects GDP to grow by 10.5% in FY22. RBI likely to maintain accommodative stance as long as the prospect of sustained recovery is well secured while closely monitoring growth inflation dynamics. In the post policy conference, Governor acknowledged that the recent growth was not due to pent up demand but actual revival in growth across segments. Foreign Portfolio Investors (“FPI”) flows continued to be strong with fresh buy of US$4 bn worth of equities in the month of February while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) sold US$2.3 bn. On a year-to-date basis, FPIs invested USD5bn in equities while DIIs sold USD3.9bn during the year. In December 2020, industrial production based on Index of Industrial Production (IIP) grew by 1% YoY against growth of 0.5% in the corresponding month of last year and de-growth of 2.1% in November 2020. However, the eight core sectors which carry nearly 40% weightage in the IIP registered a negative growth of 1.3% in December 2020. Favourable base effects coupled with growth in the manufacturing and electricity segment supported the positive IIP growth of 1% in December 2020. Based upon the use-based classification all segments except primary goods segment registered a positive growth which might look like economic revival is gaining traction albeit at a marginal pace. Inflation continued to surprise on the downside for the third consecutive month, printing 4.1% in January 2021 after 4.6% in December 2020. This is the lowest inflation recorded in the last 16 months. The sharp correction was led by easing of food inflation, while core inflation budged marginally – pretty much the same theme as seen in December 2020. Food inflation slumped to 1.9% in the month of January 2021 on an annualized basis after 3.4% prior (December 2020) and average of ~10% in Apr-Nov’20, owing to sequential contraction in vegetables, cereals and protein complex. The markets have rallied by 33% over the last one year. Nifty valuations are at higher than five-year averages. However, earning growth is strong and we may see earnings upgrade for Nifty. For 3QFY21, Nifty revenues declined by 1% YoY, but net profit grew by 22% vs street estimates of 7% growth, could be considered as a significant beat. This may be probably the finest YoY growth seen in last five years. Consequently, NIFTY Earning Per Share may likely grow at around 16% YoY during FY21. For FY22, street expectations may be for around 32% growth in earnings and further there may be around 20% earnings growth in FY23. Elevated valuations might sustain, if earnings growth come through. We remain cautiously optimistic on the equity.

The Bank of Baroda logo belongs to Bank of Baroda and is used under license Fund Manager : An employee of the asset management company such as a mutual fund or life insurer, who manages investments of the scheme. He is usually part of a larger team of fund managers and research analysts. Application Amount for Fresh Subscription : This is the minimum investment amount for a new investor in a mutual fund scheme. Minimum Additional Amount : This is the minimum investment amount for an existing investor in a mutual fund scheme. Yield to Maturity : The Yield to Maturity or the YTM is the rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until maturity. YTM is expressed as an annual rate. The YTM factors in the bond’s current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. SIP : SIP or systematic investment plan works on the principle of making periodic investments of a fixed sum. It works similar to a recurring bank deposit. For instance, an investor may opt for an SIP that invests Rs 500 every 15th of the month in an equity fund for a period of three years. NAV : The NAV or the net asset value is the total asset value per unit of the mutual fund after deducting all related and permissible expenses. The NAV is calculated at the end of every business day. It is the value at which the investor enters or exits the mutual fund. Benchmark : A group of securities, usually a market index, whose performance is used as a standard or benchmark to measure investment performance of mutual funds, among other investments. Some typical benchmarks include the Nifty, Sensex, BSE200, BSE500, 10-Year Gsec. Entry Load : A mutual fund may have a sales charge or load at the time of entry and/or exit to compensate the distributor/agent. Entry load is charged at the time an investor purchases the units of a mutual fund. The entry load is added to the prevailing NAV at the time of investment. For instance, if the NAV is Rs. 100 and the entry load is 1%, the investor will enter the fund at Rs. 101. Note : SEBI, vide circular dated June 30, 2009 has abolished entry load and mandated that the upfront commission to distributors will be paid by the investor directly to the distributor, based on his assessment of various factors including the service rendered by the distributor. Exit Load : Exit load is charged at the time an investor redeems the units of a mutual fund. The exit load is deducted from the prevailing NAV at the time of redemption. For instance, if the NAV is Rs 100 and the exit load is 1%, the redemption price would be Rs 99 Per Unit. Modified Duration : Modified duration is the price sensitivity and the percentage change in price for a unit change in yield Standard Deviation : Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the range of an investment’s performance. When a mutual fund has a high standard deviation, its means its range of performance is wide, implying greater volatility. Sharpe Ratio : The Sharpe Ratio, named after its founder, the Nobel Laureate William Sharpe, is a measure of risk-adjusted returns. It is calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.
