4 Fund Manager Commentary RBI's Monetary Policy The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced policy rates by 25 bps in its second bi-monthly credit policy. The RBI took comfort from positive developments which happened on various pre-conditions set out by it in last meeting held in April Banks have started passing on the previous rate cuts into their lending rates, headline inflation is along the projected path, and administered price increases have remained muted, normalization of US monetary policy seems to have been pushed back, capacity utilization is low and subdued investment and credit growth all prompted it to act again. This monetary policy emphasises importance of strong food policy to keep inflationary expectations under check. Monetary easing can only create enabling conditions for government policy to take effect which would be implemented through stepping up of public investment in several areas that can attract private investments. This is important to address supply constraints and aid disinflation in medium term. Also infusing bank capital to clean up stressed assets is warranted for adequate credit flow. The policy has emphasised that this cut is front loaded, which means it is ahead of its time. Moreover, it has brought in medium term inflation target and easing supply constraints first time in the consideration set. This shows that we are focusing more on medium term inflation than month on month inflation data release while seasonal triggers will not be large consideration for the RBI going forward. The focus on sharp food policy to manage inflationary expectation also point towards this focus of the RBI. Though, the RBI has stated that the next move is data dependent, which is same as last policy statement, market is interpreting this as a long pause. We feel that monsoon and food inflation numbers going forward may open window for one more cut sometime later in the calendar year (CY2015) % Repo Rate Movement 9.00% 8.00% 7.00% 6.00% 5.00% 4.00% Jul/07 Dec/07 May/08 Oct/08 Mar/09 Aug/09 Jan/10 Jun/10 Nov/10 Apr/11 Sep/11 Feb/12 Jul/12 Dec/12 May/13 Oct/13 Mar/14 Aug/14 Jan/15 Jun/15 Repo Rate Source: Bloomberg ; RBI GDP growth estimates lowered by RBI India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the March 2015 quarter grew by 7.5% year-on-year (YoY) vs 6.6% for December Unlike expenditure side GDP, growth in Gross Value Added (GVA) at basic constant prices moderated in quarter ended in March 2015 to 6.1% (YoY), from 6.8% (YoY) and 8.4% (YoY) in the previous two quarters. The moderation in GVA during quarter ended March 2015 was led primarily by a sharp reduction in "public administration/defense/other services". This could be attributed to weakness in plan spending during fourth quarter financial year (Q4FY15) to meet the headline fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of GDP. Lead Indicators The Consumer Price Index (CPI) eases further Retail inflation in form of Consumer price index (CPI) slowed for second month in a row, supported by a favorable base effect. Food inflation eased to a four month low with vegetable prices continuing to fall. Fuel inflation moved higher along with education, medical and transport expenses. The rural wage growth picked up moderately. Inflation expectation remains in high single digit. Three key issues which currently seem to add pressure on inflation projection are as below: - Projection of below normal monsoon - Inching crude oil prices - Volatile external environment 10 CPI Inflation (%) Jan-14 Feb-14 Mar-14 Apr-14 May-14 Jun-14 Jul-14 Aug-14 Sep-14 Oct-14 Nov-14 Dec-14 Jan-15 Feb-15 Mar-15 Apr-15 Consumer Price Index (CPI) Source: Bloomberg ; Central Statistical Organization (CSO) India 02

5 Fund Manager Commentary The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation stays low WPI inflation was lower than expectation. WPI inflation for April 2015 came at negative 2.65%. The sharp deceleration was largely driven by the contraction in prices of fuel, minerals and energy components all of which are directly linked to the global commodity cycle. Index of Industrial Production (IIP) lowers than expectation Industrial production declined to 2.1% for the month of March 2015 vs 5.0% in the previous month. The moderation was driven by consumer goods, which turned negative after registering solid growth last month as the favorable base effects seen in February 2015 dropped out. Index of Industrial Production (IIP) 7.0% 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% -1.0% -2.0% -3.0% -4.0% Jan/13 Feb/13 Mar/13 Apr/13 May/13 Jun/13 Jul/13 Aug/13 Sep/13 Oct/13 Nov/13 Dec/13 Jan/14 Feb/14 Mar/14 Apr/14 May/14 Jun/14 Jul/14 Aug/14 Sep/14 Oct/14 Nov/14 Dec/14 Jan/15 Feb/15 Mar/15 IIP YoY Growth (New Series; base ) Source: Bloomberg ; Central Statistical Organization (CSO) India External Trade deficit data: Both exports and imports saw a decline (YoY) and the trade deficit saw a sequential decline to ~USD 11 billion for the month of April 2015 (~USD 11.8 billion in March 2015). Exports at ~USD 22.1 billion (vs. ~USD 24 billion in March 2015) declined 14.1% (YoY), while imports saw a decline of 7.5% (YoY) at USD 33 billion (vs. ~USD 35.7 billion in March 2015). Trade deficit moderated mainly due to dip in gold imports on a sequential basis month-on-month (MoM), but it saw a significant increase on a YoY basis. However, exports growth remained on a weak trajectory due to the contraction in both commodity and non-commodity exports. The capital goods imports growth remained in the positive territory for the third consecutive month, implying some domestic recovery process. Data on Institutional Flows: Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) interest revival in equities came to the fore with the segment net buying equities to the tune of ~USD 1.34 billion during May 2015 (~USD 1.82 billion in April 2015) and outpaced the Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) net inflows which slipped into the negative territory during the month. Domestic insurers saw second consecutive month of net inflows while domestic MFs continued on the net buying momentum. The FIIs have so far net bought Indian equities worth ~USD 7.15 billion this calendar year (CY2015), while year-to-date (YTD) net inflows from the DII segment has also been strong at ~USD 2.19 billion (YTD). Global Economic Scenario The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept policy unchanged at its April meeting. It acknowledged weaker economic growth during the winter months. Nevertheless, it attributes weaker growth to, transitory factors" and did not change its assessment that the economy will gradually "expand at a moderate pace". Dropping the pledge to be patient marks a shift away from the explicit calendar based guidance on the future policy path to be more data dependent guidance. US GDP and inflation forecasts were adjusted downwards. Economic growth for 4Q 15 was cut to %, down from 3% in December. Inflation will range from % by end 2015, down from 1 1.6% projected in December. Equity Market Update Indian equity markets bounced in May 2015, after lacklustre performance of the previous two months. Though muted quarterly earnings season and lack of policy decisions failed to inspire, anticipation of a rate cut kept the market participants engaged. Monthly inflation releases were positive with the trends in both Consumer Price Index (CPI) & Wholesale Price Index (WPI) showing sustained deceleration. While the industrial output data showed volatility, the combination of both these readings revived the hopes of a rate action by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the June Overall quarterly earnings for the Indian corporate sector continued to be sluggish and disappointed even on a low set of expectations. The second leg of the budget session of the Parliament ended without any major policy breakthroughs as the Goods and Service Tax (GST) and Land Acquisition bills were referred to Parliamentary committees for further deliberations. The Government is facing hurdles in passing both these crucial bills in upper house (Rajya Sabha) of the parliament, where it doesn't have enough majority. On the positive side, the productivity of the budget session was among the highest in the recent times with the Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha clocking 117% & 101% productivity levels respectively. India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the March 2015 quarter grew by 7.5% year-on-year (YoY) vs 6.6% for December 2014, as per the new series data with the base year financial year (FY) On a full year basis, financial year (FY15) GDP accelerated to 7.3% YoY vs 6.9% in FY14, as per the new series. Investments growth picked up but consumption slowed during the March 2015 quarter. Domestic market indices S&P BSE Sensex & Nifty gained 3% and 3.1%, while the broader market indices i.e. S&P BSE Midcap and S&P BSE Small cap also posted similar gains during the month. 03

Equity Markets Going forward Equity markets saw a bounce in May 2015, after 2 months of subdued performance, though there were not enough fundamental triggers on display during the month. The quarterly earnings season continued to disappoint and the earnings recovery expectations are now getting pushed back further with a higher emphasis on the monetary easing cycle. There were no positive triggers on the legislative reform side too, as the government failed to make any definitive agreement with the opposition on the two crucial reform items viz the GST & Land Acquisition bills. Apart from the RBI policy meet related expectations, there may not be any immediate triggers available for the equity markets as the focus will now shift back to corporate sector performance, earnings growth and other fundamentals. Positive surprises on the key pending legislative reforms could renew confidence of the market participants and monsoon session of the parliament will be looked at with a lot of hopes in that context. A weak monsoon season as estimated by Indian Meteorological Department will be another risk, especially in the context of its impact on inflation and thereby influencing the monetary easing decision of the RBI. Despite these near term factors, the longer term picture for India is unmistakably positive and results from equity investments should be judged from a long term perspective. We can see that regardless of the slow pace of reforms in the past there are significant success stories that bear testimony to the India story and see them as torchbearers for the future and these are Demographics, Deregulation & Domestic Demand. We believe that equities may provide the potential to deliver handsome returns vis-à-vis other alternatives over a longer term investment horizon. Investments in the economy may not have picked up yet, but a gradual return of capital and an enabling environment, can unleash a multi-year up-cycle for equities. We stay positive on equities and urge investors to stay invested & keep investing incrementally too, and look at this asset class as an avenue for long term wealth creation. Debt Market Update Bond yields remained range bound ahead of the monetary policy. The announcement of new benchmark ten year brought in some appetite for bonds at the auctions. Persistent supply of bonds (auctions) and profit booking by banks had declined the appetite for bonds over the last month despite prospects of reduction in benchmark rate at the upcoming monetary policy meet. Post policy, yields moved up across the segment interpreting the RBI's tone as hawkish and signaling long pause going forward. Credit yields continued to trade higher as Foreign Portfolio Investor's (FPI) turned net sellers in this segment. Volumes have remained low owing to lining up of few primary issuances leading to lower appetite for credits. It may be noted that the credit spreads had shrunk on the back of demand from FII investors amidst lower supply. Overnight and money market rates remained high for bulk of the month on back of higher government balances and demand for liquidity by non-banking participants. However, prospects of rate cut and spending by government, rates eased towards the end of the month. Debt Market Going Forward Transmission is the main trigger that RBI is looking at and the same could be achieved now with strong push from the RBI to banks. Also with credit growth at about 10% it is imperative for banks to pass on the rate reduction to borrowers. Rate easing was largely expected and market reacted to its own interpretation of pause in a knee jerk manner. However, we feel that with overnight rate at 7.25%, it is good value to buy 10 year G-sec at around 7.70% levels. Next one month could possibly to witness lower net supply of G-Sec resulting in range-bound bond prices. We expect lower CPI inflation and food management from government to drive next move in bonds. Easing of inflation trends and supply side bottlenecks due to government initiatives/policies, could pave way for rate reduction in second half of the year which augurs well for maintaining duration bias on INR rates.
