6 SBI Dynamic Bond Fund Competitive Advantage - Instances Strategic Asset Allocation Market analysis & call: (March 2012) With the commencement of borrowing by the government in the new financial year, government bonds were expected to underperform With demand for wholesale funds from banks & consequent year end tightness, money market rates were at elevated levels. 1 year CD s during March were at %. The short end corporate bonds (2-3 yrs.) at % levels were also fairly priced vis-à-vis G-Sec considering moderate supply pipeline. On account of above we invested 90% of our assets in 1 year CD and balance in the ST corporate bond segment.

Accordingly, the reverse repo rate stands at 6% (5.75% before) and the rate under the marginal standing facility stands at 6.5% (6.75% before). The narrowing of the corridor has been done in response to the benign liquidity conditions which had led short-term rates to fall below the policy rate. The rate on the 3mth T-bill rate had fallen to almost 50bps below the repo rate in March. The narrowing of the band will increase the lower bound of the yield curve to 6% and also lower the volatility in short-term rates. The central bank has indicated that going forward, it will continue to use its existing bouquet of instruments (LAF, term repos, cash management bills, MSS) to manage the excess liquidity in the near-term. Looking ahead, the RBI remains cautious on the inflation trajectory and believes that achieving the 4% mark will not be easy. Seemingly, the central bank remains wary of upside risks to inflation more even though it highlighted that risks are evenly balanced. On the other hand, it expects the growth to improve in FY18 on the back of government spending, higher consumer spending and transmission of earlier rate cuts Repo Rate (mth end, %) In our opinion, given the current outlook on inflation and growth, additional policy rate cuts are unlikely in Source: RBI, CSO, SBIFM Research

As of April end, 10 year G-sec yield stands at 6.87%, up 45bps from 6.41% in March. Massive foreign inflow during March and April (due to attractive valuations) also led to the increased demand for Indian G-sec and consequent fall in yields. Going forward, as US Fed is expected to hike rates and Indian inflation is expected to inch up, this attractiveness will likely reduce. Further, with surplus liquidity, no RBI OMO purchases and neutral policy stance, the yield curve would remain steeper in the coming months. For FY18 as a whole, supply-demand dynamics of the government bonds, liquidity situation of the banks once the pace of currency withdrawal normalized, bank credit outlook and, global outlook will take prominence in guiding the bond markets trajectory year GSec yield (mth end, %) Repo Rate (mth end, %) We remain constructive, but with a slightly longer term approach as average CPI settle lower and government s measures to widen the tax base leads to structural improvement in the fiscal balance. Accordingly, we keep taking tactical calls in duration at the opportune time (like last two months). Source: Bloomberg, SBIFM Research
