Our House Views on India Equities
Last one month saw heightened geopolitical uncertainty due to Iran Israel conflict, and concerns over tariffs. Despite
these, global markets remained resilient and some of the major global equity indices hit new all time high.
Investor sentiment received support from stable bond yields and rate-cut expectations in the US & EU (H2CY25).
However, the momentum seems to be losing some momentum now after a sharp rally during the last 3 months
amid tariff imposition deadline moving closer.
India’s macroeconomic environment remains robust with stable growth, softer inflation, controlled deficits and
strong forex reserves. However, high frequency indicators are providing mixed outlook from a near term perspective.
Valuations have risen meaningfully after a sharp rally - the Nifty 50 now trades above its long-term average on a 1-
year forward P/E basis. The Mid and Small Cap segments, while supported by earnings growth, still command a
significant premium. Stock selection is the key as pockets of high growth opportunities are also visible.
Considering the confluence of micro, macro and markets’ current situation, we believe that this phase is like the
“Middle Overs” in a limited over cricket match. Hence, going through this phase requires strategy and patience,
rather than aggressive striking. Risk should be managed while momentum should be maintained.
Equity Portfolio Allocation Stance: Neutral i.e. 65% allocation to Large Caps and 35% allocation to Mid and Small
Caps
Investment Strategy:
• Lump-sum investments in Hybrid funds at current levels.
• For Pure equity-oriented strategies, a staggered SIP/STP approach is prudent given elevated valuations and higher
volatility. Any sharp correction should be used for aggressive deployment.
Our House Views on India Debt
Proactive measures by RBI on policy easing and liquidity are likely to result into steepening of the yield curve. Hence
in our view one may be overweight on accrual strategies across the credit spectrum. Due to limited room for
further capital gains, softening of the yields should be used an opportunity to gradually reduce the exposure from
duration strategies
Accrual can be played across the credit spectrum by allocating 45% – 55% of the portfolio to Performing Credit &
Private Credit Strategies, InvITs & Select NCDs
30% – 35% may be invested in Performing Credit Strategies/NCDs and InvITs
20% – 25% may be invested in Private Credit including Real Estate/Infrastructure strategies and select NCDs
25% - 35% of the portfolio may be invested in Arbitrage Funds (minimum 3 months holding period), Floating Rate
Funds (9 – 12 months holding period), Absolute Return Long/Short strategies (minimum 12 -15 months holding
period)
For tax efficient fixed income alternative solutions, 20% - 25% of the portfolio may be allocated in Conservative
Equity Savings funds (minimum 3 years holding period)
