CIO SPEAK
Dear Policyholder,
The year FY10 saw equity markets delivering over 80% returns, which is the third highest annual return
since the Sensex was constituted way back in 1979. What makes this year more remarkable is that this
year the Indian stocks have emerged as the best performer amongst the BRIC nations as well as the
developed markets across the globe. It will be interesting to note that Indian equities have outperformed
China over long-term. Since March 1993 the MSCI India Index has risen by over 470% while the MSCI
China Index has declined by 44%. FY10 has been remarkable so far where India has attracted highest
ever FII inflows at ~US$ 23.3 bn against an outflow of US$10.7 bn in FY09.
The Indian equity market returns were mainly skewed in the first half of the financial year which saw the market sentiments turning positive
led by recovery in global growth, reduction in risk aversion and surge in inflows to Emerging Markets (EMs) including India. The icing on the
cake was the stupendous election result with the strongest ever government at the helm. The election result was cheered by the market
with an upper circuit, the first time in history of the Indian equities. The markets remained range-bound in the second half of the financial
year. The sentiments were dampened by uncertainties over global macro economic scenario & emergence of sovereign debt risk with
PIIGs followed by Dubai and then Greece’s excessive debt burden dampening market sentiments and leading to outflows from EMs. In
addition to these, on the domestic front monsoon failure, surge in inflation and concerns over stimulus withdrawal kept investors in a
cautious mood. Liquidity in the secondary market was also impacted by record primary issuances.
Global economy is rising, albeit the pace of growth still remains anemic. Having sailed their economies through the crisis, the policymakers
now face the mammoth task of consolidating public finances over the medium-term. Public debt-to-GDP ratio has skyrocketed and is above
100% in many developed economies. As these economies begin withdrawing monetary stimulus, their pace of growth may get impacted.
Indian policymakers have managed the economic downturn well. In FY10, government consumption cushioned the economy from the
downside. In FY11, consumption and private & public capex will take the driver’s seat and further propel economic growth. Encouragingly,
the recovery in private investment and consumption is gaining momentum and is beginning to look self-sustaining. The need to bridge the
existing infrastructure deficit, high capacity utilization in many key industries, rise in demand and conducive interest rates augurs well for
investment pick-up. An improving job market is supporting private consumption. Further, the recasting of personal income tax slabs in
Budget 2010 which may increase disposable income to the tune of Rs 56,000 in the hands of over 3 crore taxpayers and continuation of
urban and rural demand will also boost consumption growth.
The evolving medium-term growth trajectory for India remains attractive. A roadmap for fiscal consolidation was rightly focused in the Union
Budget 2010. Large disinvestment target of Rs 40000 cr will give good long-term investment opportunity of buying into high quality Public
Sector Companies. If we look at FY11E earnings, Sensex is trading at a fair valuation of 16x. Equity inflows are expected to remain strong
in FY11. Given the easy liquidity environment globally, FIIs are expected to invest over US$20 bn in equities in FY11. Additionally, DIIs
may also invest US$18-20 bn. Having said that, there are concerns in the short-term which may dampen market sentiments and keep
market participants in a cautious mood. On the domestic front, the core inflationary pressures are gaining strength driven by increase in
demand, high capacity utilizations and rising commodity prices. We expect inflation to peak out in double-digits in March-April 2010 before
coming down to 5- 6% by 2HFY11 provided monsoons are normal this year. Globally, the jobless nature of the recovery remains a concern
and the latter half of 2010 may see a slowdown in growth as demand get adversely impacted by withdrawal of stimulus by policymakers in
the developed world.
In FY10, we further expanded our fund offerings by launching 6 new fund options with varying risk profile to help you fulfill your long-term
financial commitments. All our funds continue to outperform their respective benchmarks over the last 1-5 years period by a considerable
margin. During the year, our funds also featured in various leading financial publications for their outstanding performance. We would like
to reiterate our commitment towards maintaining superior portfolio quality and continuing with our endeavour to deliver superior risk-
adjusted returns on your investments which will help to maximize your wealth consistently over long-term.

The Indian equity market witnessed a strong post-budget rally in March on receiving huge FII inflows as global investors gave a thumbs-up to the above-expected budget
delivered by our honorable Finance Minister. Taking a long term positive view on the Indian economy, the global investing community appreciated budget proposals which
targeted to progressively cut government’s fiscal deficit over the next three years. The RBI raised the repo rate to 5% from 4.75% and the reverse repo rate to 3.50% from 3.25%
much before the scheduled policy meet in April 2010.
The equity market did not react negatively as it was expecting the hike sooner than later as core inflation had started to inch up even though agri-inflation fears are receding on a
good Rabi crop. Manufacturing inflation pressures have started to build up on strong revival of industrial demand in the economy as capacity utilization across industry has
reached above average levels. Hence to anchor inflationary expectations, RBI would return to normalized interest rates along-with the calibrated exit from the overall stimulus
package provided by it during the down-turn.
The developed economy continues to exhibit mixed signals, where we have witnessed the Euro-zone reeling under severe public debt and the US economy recovering well
from the abyss leading to strengthening of dollar against other developed nation’s currencies. The US economy expanded at a 5.6 percent annual rate in the last three months
of 2009, led by inventory restocking, according to Commerce Department. Recent reports are suggesting that the U.S. labor market and consumer spending are improving
which have boosted global investor optimism that demand in the world’s largest economy is recovering. Uncertainty on Europe continues with some respite as EU says that it
would come to aid with IMF backing if needed, to save Greece. FIIs were the net buyers in the equity markets to the extent of Rs.19928.20 Crores whereas Domestic Mutual
Funds were net sellers to the extent of Rs.4082.30 Crores during the month.

India’s Industrial Production grew 16.7% in January 2010. The growth was primarily led by the manufacturing sector, especially for capital goods and consumer durables. The
mining sector showed a huge jump from 9.5% in December 2009 to 14.6% in January 2010 and the manufacturing sector grew by 17.9% in January 2010 compared to 18.5% in
the last month on a y-o-y basis. The inflation rate rose to 9.89% for February 2010 compared to 8.56% for January 2010.
The reverse repo rate and repo rates were raised by 25bps to 3.5% and 5% respectively. This move combined with a 75 bps hike in the CRR during February, indicate that RBI
is now moving towards normalization of its loose monetary policy, prompted by double-digit levels of inflation and improving growth conditions. This is an indication of the sense
of urgency in tackling spiraling inflationary expectations.

11 INVESTMENT GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR FY11
1. Start Early and invest regularly. This is the key to wealth creation. Regular investments, however small, can grow into
a substantial amount of wealth over a period of time. Longer investment tenure will allow you to enjoy the effect of
compounding. For instance, both individuals, A (20 years old) and B (30 years old) start investing Rs. 1000 & Rs. 1500
p.a. respectively. By the age of 50, both would have invested the same amount, i.e., Rs 30000. However, assuming
10% return on investments, A would have accumulated around Rs.181000 while B would have only Rs. 95000, nearly
half the amount! This is the magic of compounding. B would have to invest Rs. 2850 p.a., 2.8 times that of A, to get
Rs.180000 at the age of 50.
2. Have a clear objective. It is important to think about your long-term financial goals before starting to invest as it will impact the nature of investments & asset
allocation. It will help if you know in advance whether your investment objective is capital protection, stable returns or capital appreciation.
3. Understand your risk appetite. “Unless you can watch your stock holding decline by 50% without becoming panic-stricken, you should not be in the stock
market.”- Warren Buffet. Investing too conservatively or too aggressively, without understanding your risk profile, can result in failure of meeting your investment
objectives. Different asset classes have different degree of risk & return associated with them. Equities have the potential to deliver higher return than fixed-
income instruments but also have higher risk compared to the latter. You should invest in asset classes that have the potential to generate returns which are
adequate to meet your financial goals at the desired level of risk.
4. Invest with a long-term perspective. Do not trade or speculate. In the short-run, markets can be very volatile and such market uncertainty can be an
unnerving experience. Investments should be made with a long-term perspective as over the long-term market volatility withers out. Despite witnessing periods
of negative returns, Sensex has delivered a phenomenal CAGR of 17.3% over the last two decades! “If you don't feel comfortable owning something for 10
years, then don't own it for 10 minutes”- Warren Buffet.
5. Do not try to time the market: Always remember the old adage “Predicting rain doesn't count; building arks does”. Timing the market is a futile exercise and one
can seldom hope to get it right. Research has shown that following a long-term disciplined investment approach and remaining invested even during uncertain
times has seen investors reap the true benefits of any financial investment.
6. Adequately diversify- do not put all your eggs in one basket. “Controlling risk is the key to long-term rewards and controlling risk means being diversified at
all times”- Jim Cramer. By diversifying you will not have to rely on the success of just one investment and you will be able to confidently ride the markets’ ups and
downs.
7. Stick to Quality. Do not chase trends. “When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the
reputation of the business that remains intact.”–Warren Buffet. It is important to be invested in inherently good quality fundamentally strong companies with
sustainable and scalable business model, visionary management with proven track record and bright prospects.
8. Do not panic. “Success in investing doesn't correlate with I.Q. once you're above the level of 125. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the
temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.”- Warren Buffet. In a bear market do not panic and rush to sell your investments.
Be patient. Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it. Equity markets are bound to go through
cycles, however, equites have been the best performing asset class over long-term.
9. Monitor your investments. As you move from one life stage to another, your investment objectives may change. It is important to assess your financial
investments in light of your changing needs.
10. Learn from your mistakes. “What we learn from history is that people do not learn from history.”- Warren Buffet. Do not try to recoup your losses by taking
bigger risks. Turn each mistake into a learning experience.
11. Do your homework well or hire professional experts to help you. “Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing”- Warren Buffet. It is very important to
deeply analyse any financial investments and fully understand its risk-return profile before investing. It requires time and efforts along with relevant skill sets. If
you do not have the adequate resources or the expertise to do it then leave it to professional experts.
