1 EQUITY & DEBT MARKET OUTLOOK

Equity Markets Round Up: February 2021 After outperforming developed markets for the past two months, EMs underperformed developed markets in the month of February. The MSCI EM (USD) index was up 0.73% during the month while the MSCI World (USD) index, which tracks DMs was up 2.45%. Globally, February was a month of two halves, with the markets doing well in the first half on the back of improved global economic outlook, mass vaccination drives, upbeat corporate earnings and continued liquidity and fiscal support. However, markets cooled in the second half on account of higher bond yields and rising inflation concerns both due to higher commodity prices and as they expected the proposed additional stimulus in the US to fuel consumption. The US 10-year sovereign yields rose from 1.07% to 1.45%, their fastest rise since 2017. According to a CARE study, bond yields went up in all the major economies during the month. Across EM, equity funds saw net inflows of USD 20.7 BN during the month (JPM data). FPI flows into Indian equity during the month were Rs. 25,800 crores (USD 3.54 Bn approx.), with 80% of these coming in the first half of the month. Mutual Funds were net sellers of equity for the ninth consecutive month (net sale of Rs. 16,300 crores). In this backdrop, was among the best performing markets in the EM universe. The MSCI India (USD) index was up nearly 4.5%, substantially outperforming the MSCI EM index. The midcap and the small cap indices did much better than the large cap Nifty/ Sensex. The Indian markets were driven by the post budget rally as a growth oriented budget pushed the market to all time highs. However, the large borrowing programme of the government for FY22, and additional market borrowing for FY 21, along with sticky core inflation spooked investors in G-Secs, which coupled with global factors mentioned above pulled down the market from the highs achieved in early February. In terms of sectors, cyclicals like financials, metals and energy did well. Utilities, which haven’t done well for a while, also were a strong performer. IT, FMCG and healthcare underperformed during the month. The PSU index did well too, as the markets played on the privatisation potential in many of these companies. Commodity prices further rallied, with Brent crude up nearly 18% during the month, Copper was up 16%, and Cotton up 10%. The London Metal Exchange index of 6 industrial metals is now up 49% over the past year. (Iron ore and copper are almost at a ten year high). OPEC+, at their latest meeting have announced plans to keep crude production broadly steady through April, which has led to a further rally in crude prices in early March. The GDP growth for Q3, FY 21 came in at 0.4% YoY, which was slightly below market expectations, esp. given the very strong results from corporates. The downside came from two areas. The trade, hotels and transport sector continued to contract (likely pulled down by the informal sector) and the government sector also contracted, which was a surprise, as the central government, after going slow in Q2, had picked up spending in Q3. This means that the state governments are pulling back on spending. In other macro news, while headline CPI softened, core inflation (ex – food, ex -energy) remained firm. Activity indicators continue to remain firm, with rail freight, power demand, e-way bill generation etc. holding up. Rail freight (Ton-Km) was up 10% YoY in January, and by a similar number in the first half of February. Initial numbers for exports for the month of February are almost identical to the figure a year ago. The results for Q3 were strong, and upgrades by sell side analysts easily outnumbered the numberof downgrades by a factor of 7:2 (Motilal Oswal Securities Research). Outlook As said above, economic activity is rising steadily, tax revenues are strong, and companies feel confident to pass on the input cost pressures. We will need to watch carefully the data on inflation as input costs have risen very sharply. Further, despite assurances of central banks across economies of supportive monetary policy, bond yields have hardened as economic conditions improve. Central banks will have to be careful in managing market expectations of no disorderly exit from an easy monetary policy regime. We however think that liquidity will continue to be easy. However, as bond yields rise in the developed markets, it is possible that flows to EMs may be impacted in the near term, leading to increased volatility. In terms of the corporate sector, while the sharp rise in input costs will be more of a challenge for the informal sector, the larger companies could come out ahead. Investors should focus on having a well diversified portfolio and investing in companies with quality businesses, having moderate levels of debt and visibility of growth as these generally should do well over the medium to long term.

Fixed Income Market Update: February 2021 • During the month yields rose across short to long end of the curve except the 3 month segment where rates fell. In case of the former it was mainly due to fiscal concerns, rising crude oil prices and upward rise in global bond yields. In case of short 3M money market rates the ample banking system liquidity, low supply and demand from MFs helped to bring rates down. • As per RBI MPC Review conclusion announced on 5th Feb key rates remained unchanged and stance was maintained at accommodative. RBI also extended the dispensation of enhanced HTM of 22 percent upto 31st March 2023 and would include securities purchased upto 31st March 2022. The CRR cut done in March 2021 would be rolled back in 2 phased of 50 bps each. RBI mentioned that this rollback and withdrawal of liquidity would give space for additional OMOs. • India's fiscal deficit for the period April to Janury 2021 has come in at around 12.34 lakh crore, which is 66.8% per cent of the Budget Revised estimates. • The ten yr gilt benchmark rose during the month to end at 6.18%, 27 bps higher than previous month. • Corporate bonds yields also rose sharply. The 5 yr AAA benchmark and the 10 yr AAA benchmark ended the month at 6.26% and 7.18% respectively compared to 5.70% and 6.66% in the previous month. • 1 year CD rates closed at 4.25%, 28 bps higher than previous month. 3 month CD rates closed at 3.14, 20 bps lower than previous month. • Brent Crude Oil prices rose during the month as positive news on the vaccine front led to expectations of economic recovery. It ended the month at USD 66.05 per barrel from USD 54.84 per barrel in previous month. INR appreciated to 72.42 during the month from 72.95 in previous month. For the month of February, FPIs were net sellers in the debt market to the tune of Rs 9662 cr. 10 yr US treasury yields rose during the month to end at 1.52% compared to 1.07% at previous month end. • CPI inflation for January came in at 4.06% compared to 4.59% (revised) in previous month reflecting some moderation. • December Industrial production (IIP) growth came at 1% compared to -1.9% for previous month. • Banking System Liquidity remains ample. For the month of February the monthly average surplus was Rs 6.09 lakh cr. • During the month RBI conducted Gsec OMOs and substantial creeping secondary market purchases to support gilt yields which had begun rising sharply post Budget. This helped to mitigate the rise somewhat. • Towards the end of the month GDP data was released for the Oct-Dec 2020 quarter. Real GDP growth came in at 0.4% reflecting recovery as lockdown measures eased and cases went down. For the full year analysts estimate GDP growth to be in range of -6% to -8%. Outlook: • We expect Banking System liquidity to remain comfortable in the range of Rs 5 to 6 lakh crores for the month of March. Short term CD and CP rates and Overnight rates should remain stable and low given the ample banking system liquidity. • We expect gilt yields and corporate bond yields to remain under pressure given the rise in global bond yields and supply pressure domestically. • However any sharp rise in yields may get tempered with RBI actions including OMO purchases.

3 How to Read Factsheet

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 SlP that invests ` 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 G-sec. 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 ` 100 and the entry load is 1%, the investor will enter the fund at ` 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 ` 100 and the exit load is 1%, the redemption price would be ` 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. Beta - Beta is a measure of an investment’s volatility vis-a-vis the market. Beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 implies that the security’s price will be more volatile than the market. AUM - AUM or assets under management refers to the recent / updated cumulative market value of investments managed by a mutual fund or any investment firm. Holdings - The holdings or the portfolio is a mutual fund’s latest or updated reported statement of investments/securities. These are usually displayed in terms of percentage to net assets or the rupee value or both. The objective is to give investors an idea of where their money is being invested by the fund manager. Nature Of Scheme - The investment objective and underlying investments determine the nature of the mutual fund scheme. For instance, a mutual fund that aims at generating capital appreciation by investing in stock markets is an equity fund or growth fund. Likewise, a mutual fund that aims at capital preservation by investing in debt markets is a debt fund or income fund. Each of these categories may have sub- categories. Rating Profile - Mutual funds invest in securities after evaluating their creditworthiness as disclosed by the ratings. A depiction of the mutual fund in various investments based on their ratings becomes the rating profile of the fund. Typically, this is a feature of debt funds. MAAUM - Monthly Average Asset Under Management ++ ICRA has assigned credit risk rating of [ICRA]A1+mfs to Principal Cash Management Fund. Rating methodology used by ICRA is based on evaluating the inherent credit quality of the mutual funds portfolio. As a measure of the credit quality of a debt fund’s assets, ICRA uses the concept of “credit scores”, based on ICRA’s assessment of credit risk associated with each exposure of the portfolio taking into account its maturity. To quantify the credit risk scores, ICRA uses its database of historical default rates for various rating categories for various maturity buckets. The credit risk ratings incorporate ICRA’s assessment of a debt fund’s published investment objectives and policies, its management characteristics, and the creditworthiness of its investment portfolio. ICRA reviews relevant fund information on an ongoing basis to support its published rating opinions. If the portfolio credit score meets the benchmark of the assigned rating during the review, the rating is retained. In an event that the benchmark credit score is breached, ICRA gives a month’s time to the debt fund manager to bring the portfolio credit score within the benchmark credit score. If the debt fund manager is able to reduce the portfolio credit score within the benchmark credit score, the rating is retained. If the portfolio still continues to breach the benchmark credit score, the rating is revised to reflect the change in credit quality. The ratings should, however, not be construed as an indication of the prospective performance of the Mutual fund scheme or of volatility in its returns. ICRA ratings should not be treated as recommendation to buy, sell or hold the rated debt instruments. ICRA ratings are subject to a process of surveillance which may lead to a revision in ratings.
