Two of the basic expectations of our customers are thus, Safety and Returns, and we need to balance both these expectations in terms of the asset-allocation, underlying investments, and subsequent monitoring. These customer expectations are an important consideration in our investment management philosophy and strategy. The underlying investment philosophy is to ensure safety and deliver consistent, stable returns over the longer-term, for a given level of risk. This is achieved with a well-defined and disciplined investment process. There is an emphasis on compliance and robust risk-management in the investment process, both pre-investment and post- investment. As a company and as an investment team, we focus on the long-term.

SHOBIT GUPTA Senior Vice President (Investments) - Fixed Income Pranav Parekh Sumeet Hinduja & Mahesh Sarda Fund Manager - Fixed Income portfolio Fund Managers - Equity portfolio Annual Fund Review 05 Risk Control Risk management is an integral part of our investment process. The company has well-defined risk policies and processes covering both portfolio and process risk. Further, the company has systems and software in place to monitor compliance of Regulations and Investments norms on a daily basis. The operating policy for each asset class defines the framework within which the investments are made in specific funds. All our current equity investments are in securities within the BSE-500/CNX500 index, and predominantly from within the BSE-200 index. The portfolio is well-diversified across companies and industries as a risk-mitigation measure. The debt portfolio of the company is mostly invested in assets of the highest credit quality i.e. Government of India securities, and AAA rated securities issued by blue-chip companies, and finally, a small exposure to AA rated securities. The key risk management policy adopted is maintaining high standards of credit quality of the portfolio and maintaining optimum duration depending on the market outlook. The exposure to stocks and duration of bonds changes over time based on an in-depth analysis of the factors affecting these markets. Finally, a reasonable level of liquidity is maintained within the respective funds so as to enable smooth redemption process on account of switches or claims, in line with the liquidity norms prescribed in our investment policy. Annual Fund Review 06 Indian And Global Economy : Review And Outlook Key Developments in the Operating environment Macro-Economic background and Outlook India’s GDP growth accelerated in FY16 to 7.6% yoy, higher than 7.2% and 6.9% in the prior two years. The growth in FY16 was driven primarily by private consumption, activities linked to the infrastructure sector and services. GVA was stable at 7.2% yoy. The sharp deceleration in fixed capital formation is a concern. The fiscal deficit for FY16 was within the targeted 3.9% (from 4.1% in Fy15) , and is projected to reduce further to 3.5% in Fy17. Going forward, it is likely that the targeted fiscal deficit figure is likely to be specified as a range. GDP and GVA are expected to rise further in Fy17, but are likely to be within 8%, while the nominal GDP growth is likely to rise to double digits. On an annual basis, there was a 2.4% in Industrial Production in Fy16 vs 2.8% growth in Fy15. Consumer price inflation averaged 4.9% in Fy16 vs an average of 6% in Fy15. Core inflation during Fy16 stood at 4.7% down from, 5.5% in Fy15. Wholesale price inflation remained in the negative territory for 17 months ending March 2016, resulting in the annual figure being -2.5% for Fy16 (as compared to annual +2% in Fy15), the first annual decline in several decades. However, WPI is expected to be in the positive territory in Fy17. India’s trade deficit fell by 14% to US $ 118.5 billion, primarily due to a 35% fall in oil imports, thanks to the sharp fall in international crude prices. The current account deficit narrowed by 17% to US $ 22.1bn (1.1% of GDP) in Fy16, and is the lowest since Fy08. The Indian Rupee weakened by approximately 6% for the year, though the forex reserves rose by 5.5% to $ 360 billion during the year.
