Industry highlights The Indian mutual fund industry grew a robust 26% in the fiscal year ended March 2018 (fiscal 2018) according to the Association of Mutual s in India (AMFI). Average assets under management (AUM), excluding fund of funds, increased by Rs 4.75 trillion to Rs 23.05 trillion in fiscal 2018 following similar absolute growth in the preceding fiscal. Equity funds were the key drivers of industry growth. On a quarterly basis, however, growth in average AUM slowed to 3% (or Rs 676.08 billion) in Q4 fiscal 2018 compared with 6.8% (or Rs 1.43 trillion) in the quarter before. Equity funds continued to be investors favourites as reflected in the inflows trend. The category saw progressive increase in inflows: Rs 2.85 trillion in fiscal 2018, Rs 1.31 trillion in fiscal 2017, Rs 1.02 trillion in fiscal 2016 and Rs 831 billion in fiscal 2015. Robust inflows clubbed with mark-tomarket (MTM) gains prompted assets to cross the Rs 10 trillion mark, up 62.7%, or by Rs 3.95 trillion, to a new high of Rs 10.25 trillion in fiscal 2018. On a quarterly basis, the category s assets increased 8.73%, or by Rs 824 billion. The equity market - represented by Nifty 50 - gained 10.25% in the fiscal but fell around 4% in Q4. Most debt funds posted subdued growth in the fiscal as interest rate uncertainty weighed on the underlying instruments. AUM growth in shorter duration funds such as short-term debt and ultra short-term funds slowed to 2% and 6% to Rs 2.78 trillion and Rs 2.10 trillion, respectively, in fiscal 2018 following robust growth of 81% and 49% in the preceding year. Among longer duration funds, income funds assets posted modest growth of 8.2% to Rs 1.18 trillion in fiscal 2018, while gilt funds assets fell 2.3% to Rs 155 billion. However, liquid funds were an exception and maintained steady growth of 16% in fiscal 2018 to reach an asset base of Rs 4.61 trillion following 23% growth in the preceding fiscal. The last quarter of the fiscal was harder hitting with assets of debt oriented funds (except liquid funds) witnessing an erosion of 9% on a consolidated basis. Investors continued to withdraw money from gold exchange traded funds (ETFs) for the fifth consecutive fiscal. The category s average AUM fell 13.88%, or by Rs 7.83 billion, to Rs 48.59 billion owing to outflows of Rs 8.35 billion. On a quarterly basis, too, assets fell nearly 2%. International gold prices rose 2% in the quarter and 6.3% in the year ended March 2018.

ICICI Prudential Mutual continued to be the industry leader in terms of assets managed in fiscal 2018. Its assets grew 25.84%, or by Rs 628 billion, on-year to Rs 3.06 trillion. HDFC Mutual came second with a rise of Rs 634 billion or 26.72% to Rs 3.01 trillion. Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual was in the third position with Rs 2.48 trillion, up by Rs 525 billion or 26.91%. Assets of HDFC Mutual and ICICI Prudential Mutual rose the highest in absolute terms. Major regulations and developments Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) reduced the number of cities where mutual fund houses can pay higher distribution fees to brokers. Earlier, fund houses could pay additional brokerage only beyond the top 15 cities. Now, they can pay additional brokerage only beyond top 30 cities, thereby reducing the number of cities. The Sebi board approved the proposal to reduce the maximum additional expense allowed for a mutual fund to 5 basis points (bps) from 20 bps. Sebi finalised norms for allowing mutual funds and portfolio management services to participate in commodity derivatives. Sebi is considering allowing ETFs based on metals such as silver and platinum to encourage participation of retail and institutional investors in these instruments. Sebi asked mutual fund houses to prominently disclose daily the total expenses they charge customers for all schemes under a separate head on their websites. Sebi said the new framework with regard to tenure of independent trustees as well as directors will be complied with in a phased manner within two years, which will ensure smooth transition at fund houses. AMFI issued a list of stocks based on their market capitalisation for mutual funds. The Pension ulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) allowed partial withdrawal under the National Pension System for purchase of residential premises, treatment of critical illness, higher education and marriage of children. Employees Provident Organisation (EPFO) lowered the rate of interest on employees provident fund to 8.55% for its subscribers for 2017-18 from 8.65% in the previous fiscal.

The following developments dented market sentiment: a) the central government unveiled a proposal to levy 10% long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax on equity investments in the Union Budget and also raised the fiscal deficit target for 2017-18 to 3.5% of GDP from 3.2%; b) a public sector bank unearthed a fraud of around $1.8 billion at one of its branches in Mumbai; c) the RBI s decided to bar lenders from issuing Letters of Undertaking and Letters of Comfort; d) the rupee depreciated; e) the current account deficit widened to 2% of the GDP at $13.5 billion in the December quarter; and f) renewed domestic political uncertainty after the Telugu Desam Party decided to quit the National Democratic Alliance and moved a no-confidence motion against the government. Discouraging global cues included: a) a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve and as it maintained its view on three hikes this year; b) prospects of a global trade war, especially between the US and China; and c) sell-off in US technology firms amid concerns about tighter regulations for the technology industry. However, further losses were prevented after the central government reduced its additional borrowing plan for fiscal 2018 by Rs 300 billion to Rs 200 billion and announced a lower-than-expected borrowing programme for the first half of fiscal 2019. Sentiments got a boost after the GST Council reduced tax rates on 29 goods and 53 categories of services, and after the International Monetary said India will regain the title of the world s fastest growing major economy in 2018-19. Inflows by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) into domestic equities coupled with some encouraging domestic corporate earnings induced more buying. FIIs bought equities worth Rs 139 billion in the March quarter compared with buying of Rs 164 billion in the previous quarter. Value buying in beaten-down stocks, release of strong domestic growth and industrial output data, and easing of inflation supported the benchmarks further. Most NSE sectoral indices ended lower in the quarter. Nifty PSU Bank declined around 22% owing to a recent bank fraud. Heavy selling pressure was also witnessed in realty shares. Nifty Realty lost about 15%. Metal stocks witnessed heavy selling due to imposition of import tariffs by the US on steel and aluminium from China and other countries. Nifty Metal dipped around 11%. while, information technology firms surged following encouraging earning numbers from some of the index majors and a depreciating rupee. Nifty IT Index jumped 7.3%.

Debt market overview Interbank call money rates remained below the repo rate for most of the quarter amid comfortable liquidity in the banking system. Surplus funds prompted the RBI to conduct reverse repo auctions to drain away excess liquidity. However, some stress was witnessed in the call rates market owing to Goods and Services tax (GST)-related outflows. while, the central bank will soon have greater flexibility in terms of managing liquidity operations with the addition of one more tool Standing Deposit Facility Scheme. Government bond prices ended lower in the March quarter amid high volatility, with yield on the 10-year benchmark Chart 3 Movement of overnight MIBOR borrowing for fiscal 2018 from Rs 500 billion to Rs 200 billion and also moved to ease debt supply burden in the first six months of FY19 by deciding to borrow Rs 2.88 trillion via sale of dated securities during April-September, which is about 48% of its annual borrowing plan, and lower than the corresponding figure in prior years. More gains were seen following moderation in domestic consumer inflation and sporadic value buying. Sentiment was boosted for dated securities after the RBI said it will inject additional Rs 1 trillion through longer tenor instruments to enable flexibility towards meeting fund needs in March-end.

Gilts took a hit earlier amid fears of an interest rate hike by the central bank. Sentiments were dented further after comments by RBI Deputy Governor Viral Acharya suggested that the central bank will not take measures to reduce mark-to-market losses suffered by some banks recently on their bond portfolios. However, in April, the RBI allowed banks to spread bond trading losses over four quarters. Intermittent rise in US Treasury yields and global crude oil prices also weighed on gilts. Prices dipped following the budget announcement as a sharp hike in MSP of crops and a rise in the government's rural spending stoked fears of an increase in domestic inflation in the near term. Gilts declined further after the government revised the fiscal deficit to 3.3% of GDP for FY19, deviating from the fiscal glide path, and setting the target at a higher 3.5% for fiscal 2018. However, losses were capped after the government decided to reduce its additional market Key developments in the quarter: The Ministry of Finance notified that PSB recapitalisation bonds - the bonds that are split into six instalments - will bear interest rates between 7.35% and 7.68% and will mature between 2028 and 2033. The government decided that the EPFO will be mandated to invest a minimum of 20% of its incremental corpus in debt-related instruments, against the present requirement of 35%. Further, it asked PSBs to seek its permission before floating additional tier-1 bonds. The RBI and Sebi created a separate Rs 50 billion limit for foreign investors in the interest rate futures segment. Sebi made electronic platform mandatory for all private placement issues on debt basis that have a threshold of Rs 2 billion. 4

Aligning CMFR with Sebi categorisation Owing to the circular on categorisation /rationalisation of mutual fund schemes as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), CRISIL has aligned CRISIL Mutual Ranking (CMFR) with the new scheme categorisation. In doing so, we have introduced new ranking categories in the March 2018 quarter ranking. Also, certain changes have been made in the scheme shortlisting criteria and scheme ranking criteria for some of the categories. On aligning with the Sebi circular, the number of categories being ranked under CMFR have been increased from 14 to 24.

Annexure I Selection criteria for schemes in CMFR Owing to changes in the categorisation /rationalisation of mutual fund schemes as prescribed by Sebi, CRISIL has increased its ranking categories in CMFR - March 2018 from 14 to 24. 1. Equity funds Equity-oriented funds have been retained in their respective categories as defined by the AMCs. In case of large cap, large and mid-cap, multi-cap, mid-cap, focused and value/contra categories, funds which were being ranked in different categories previously, with different historical risk-return profiles, are now part of the same category. Hence, for evaluating the performance of such a varied group of funds under one category, active returns (with respect to their appropriate CRISIL-AMFI performance indices) parameter is used instead of mean returns. Since all the funds ranked in the small cap category have come from the erstwhile small & midcap category, mean returns have been used. s in the thematic infrastructure category follow an investment objective to invest in infrastructure-related sectors. Other sectoral/thematic funds have been excluded. Equity linked savings schemes (ELSS) invest in equity and equity-related instruments, and are aimed to enable investors to avail tax deduction under Section 80 C of the Income Tax Act. Index funds / ETFs: Schemes launched with an objective to generate returns that are commensurate with the performance of their benchmark s total return index (TRI), subject to tracking errors, are considered. The following will be excluded: Index schemes that allow the fund manager to take overweight investment positions on stocks that comprise their benchmark index. 2. Hybrid funds Aggressive hybrid Schemes investing more than 65%, but less than 80% of the assets under management (AUM) in equity securities and 20-35% in debt instruments, are considered. All funds that have historically maintained the stated equity exposure (threeyear average) have been included in this category. Conservative hybrid This category includes schemes where investment in equity is limited to 10-25% of the AUM and rest in debt instruments. s that have historically maintained >10% equity exposure (three-year average) have been included in this category. 3. Debt funds In the gilt category, funds with a mandate to manage duration dynamically are considered. Gilt funds with 10-year constant maturity are not part of this category. In the medium to long duration category, funds with threeyear average duration between 3-8 years have been retained. In the medium duration category, funds with three-year average duration below four years have been retained. In the short duration category, funds with one-year average duration between 1-3 years are classified as defined by Sebi. In the credit risk category, funds that were historically classified as credit opportunities funds in CMFR are considered. s with other historical classifications have been excluded. In the corporate bond category, funds that maintained oneyear average exposure >60% to corporate bonds, with the highest credit rating (i.e. AA+ and above), have been considered. Index schemes that are benchmarked to indices other than S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50. 31

In the banking and PSU bond category, funds that maintained one-year average exposure >60% to debt instruments of banks, public sector undertakings, and public financial institutions have been considered. In the liquid and dynamic bond categories, funds have been retained in their respective categories as defined by the AMCs. In the low duration category, funds with one-year average duration below 1.3 years have been retained. In the ultra short duration and money market categories, funds that were considered under the erstwhile ultra-short term and liquid categories have been retained.

Annexure II CRISIL Mutual Ranking Methodology CMFR is the relative ranking of mutual fund schemes within a peer group. The basic criteria for inclusion in the ranking universe are three-year / one-year NAV history and AUM in excess of category cut-off limits, and complete portfolio disclosure. Three-year NAV history is considered across all equity, hybrid, dynamic bond, medium duration, medium to long duration and gilt categories; whereas one-year for banking & PSU, corporate bond, credit risk, short duration, low duration, money market, ultra short duration and liquid categories. Only open-ended schemes are considered. Ranking is based on the following parameters: return and volatility return and volatility are considered as separate parameters across all categories. return is the average of daily returns based on the scheme s NAV for the period under analysis and volatility is the standard deviation of these returns. While the period for analysis is three years for equity, hybrid, medium duration, medium to long duration categories; it is one year for banking & PSU, corporate bond, credit risk, liquid, and other short term categories. The period of analysis is broken into four overlapping periods (latest 36, 27, 18 and 9 months for three-year period, and latest 12, 9, 6 and 3 months for oneyear period). Each period is assigned a progressive weight starting from the longest period as follows: 32.5%, 27.5%, 22.5% and 17.5%, respectively. Active return Owing to changes in the categorisation /rationalisation of mutual fund schemes, as prescribed by Sebi from March 2018 onwards, CMFR incorporated the active return parameter in equity categories (large cap, large and midcap, multi cap, mid-cap, focused and value/contra) for evaluation. As funds from different categories with different risk-return profiles are in these categories, active return (with respect to their appropriate CRISIL-AMFI performance indices) is used instead of mean return. The period of analysis is broken into four overlapping periods - latest 36, 27, 18 and 9 months - and progressive weights are assigned as discussed earlier. Portfolio concentration analysis Concentration measures the risk arising out of improper diversification. For equity securities, diversity score is used as the parameter to measure industry as well as company concentration. In case of debt schemes, the company concentration is analysed at an individual issuer specific limit. The limit is linked with the credit rating of the issuer; a high rated issuer will have higher limits and as the rating declines the limit is reduced progressively. Exposure to sensitive sectors In case of debt schemes, industry concentration is analysed for exposure to sensitive sectors which are arrived based on Industry Risk Score (IRS) for various sectors. CRISIL s assessment of IRS quantifies the credit risk associated with an industry on a uniform scale to ensure comparability across industries. The score captures the influence of various industry variables on the debt repayment ability of companies in a particular sector over a 3-4-year horizon. Liquidity analysis It measures the ease with which a portfolio can be liquidated. The lower the score, the better. In case of equities, it measures the number of days to liquidate the portfolio. Liquidity is calculated by taking the average portfolio liquidity score of the past three months. Equity liquidity is computed as follows: Liquidity score of each stock = No. of shares held / daily average trading volume of past six months Portfolio liquidity score = Weighted average liquidity score of the above Gilt liquidity is measured by analysing the number of days it takes to liquidate the portfolio based on turnover (volume), the number of days security is traded, and the number of trades in any security for a three-month period for that security. Corporate debt liquidity is computed by classifying each security into three categories - liquid, semi liquid and illiquid - and then evaluating a scheme s exposure to each category. 33

Asset quality Asset quality measures the probability of default by the issuer of a debt security to honour the debt obligation in time. Duration Modified duration is considered across all the debt categories except liquid to capture the interest rate risk of the portfolio. The lower the value, the better. Going forward, Macaulay duration will be used instead of Modified duration. Tracking error This is used only for index schemes. The tracking error is an estimation of the variability in a scheme s performance visà-vis the index that it tracks. The lower the tracking error, the better. Eligibility criteria Only open-ended funds are considered Three years for equity, hybrid, gilt, dynamic, medium to long and medium duration funds One year for banking & PSU, corporate bond, credit risk and other short term funds including liquid funds Schemes falling under 98 percentile of the category AUM are shortlisted Quarterly average AUM is considered Schemes meeting inception criteria are eligible schemes Complete portfolio disclosure for all three months in the last quarter Minimum five schemes in each category March 2017 onwards, CMFR introduced rankings for direct plans of the shortlisted funds as per the appropriate categorisation, provided they have sufficient NAV history.
