Global unemployment at historic lows – Advantage India ? • Unemployment rates in major economies (US, China, Japan and Euro Area) are near all time lows after peaking around Global Financial Crisis (GFC) ‒ These 4 economies account for ~62% of global GDP and ~ 35% of global population • It is estimated that the working age population in China has peaked and is likely to decline in % and in absolute terms by 2020 (compared to 2015) • Income in China has risen significantly over the past two decades ‒ Till early 1990’s, China’s per capita income was similar to India’s. Presently it is 5 times ! • India will displace China as the largest working age population globally by 2030 ‒ This and lower wages present an opportunity for India Sources: United Nations, World bank 4 Refer disclaimers on slide 56
Yields, Policy Rates and Inflation – All trending downward • Globally yields continue to soften. US yields are trending lower for last 40 years ! Yields in Germany and Japan are also softening for three decades • CPI has been range bound for a long period with low volatility, especially post global financial crisis (GFC) Million dollar question - Is inflation dead? Post GFC, weak inflation despite unconventional monetary easing remains a puzzle for economists and Central banks • Central banks continue to lower rates driven by comfort of continued low inflation and to support growth Did you know ? US Yields were 15% in 1980s , which coincides with early years of PIMCO, co-founded by Bill Gross in 1971; Under his leadership, PIMCO’s AUM rose to USD 2 trillion in 2013 from a beginning of USD 12 mn Sources: Bloomberg; publicly available information.

2019 marked an unexpected reversal by Central Banks • At the beginning of 2019, majority opinion was that global liquidity is set to tighten and policy rates will rise • Trade war uncertainty, low inflation, and slowdown in growth drove the global central banks to do the opposite ! “Short-term market forecasts are poison and should be kept locked up in a safe place, away from children and also from grown-ups who behave in the market like children.” – Warren Buffet Source: Kotak Institutional Equities • Actions of major central Banks during 2019 ‒ US Fed reduced rates by 75 bps after hiking 100 bps in 2018 and started expanding its balance sheet again ‒ ECB reduced policy rate to -0.5% and restarted QE program ‒ Bank of Japan (BoJ) continued with QE Source: Kotak Institutional Equities • With global liquidity easing, 10 year sovereign bond yields of many EU * Change in total balance sheet size of 3 central banks countries including Germany, turned negative in 2019 ‒ Share of negative bond yields as % of total rose to ~35% during the year, though declined to ~22% by Dec19 • With negative interest rates, we are now in an unchartered territory; “Interest rates are like gravity in valuation.

US Equities: Low yields supportive of valuations • US valuations and market cap to GDP are near life time highs • Valuations are supported by ‒ Lower bond yields and ample liquidity ‒ Record buybacks (2018: US$ ~$ 800 bn; 2019E: ~US$ 700 bn) • US corporate profits to GDP is also at life time high • Bubble or Value ? – Opinions are sharply divided An environment of low interest rates has set off a search for yield and created stretched valuations in risk assets, including the U.S. equity market. - IMF Report, Oct’19 “People complain that the market is overvalued but … with these interest rates, the market is really below fair value,” - Byron Wien, Vice Chairman, Blackstone • In 2019, the spread between US 2Y and 10Y Gsec yields turned negative i.e. Yield curve inverted, for a brief period. Over past 3 decades, Yield curve inversion has been followed by sharp slowdown in US “Reversion to the mean is the iron rule of the financial markets” – John C.

LNG: Rising supply & falling costs should increase share of LNG • Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas which is liquefied for transportation and then converted back to gas for use. It is used as a substitute for oil and coal. As natural gas transportation costs are high, consumption is generally local • Liquefaction projects are on the rise globally. Global LNG supply has increased by ~ 0.7 mmbpd i.e. ~50% of incremental oil demand over 2016-18 ‒ LNG supply is projected to rise from 7.6 in 2018 to 9.7 mmbpd p.a. by 2023 ‒ Thus, the average incremental LNG supply per annum will be equal to ~1/3rd of the incremental oil demand each year (Total global oil consumption is ~100 mmbpd growing at 1-1.5% p.a.) • LNG prices have been trending lower on back of higher supplies • Advantages of LNG ‒ Worldwide proven reserves of natural gas are ~85% of oil reserves ‒ Natural gas has lower emissions than coal and liquid fuels ‒ Beneficial for Current account deficit countries like India as higher value is captured in the country of import compared to oil *BOE = barrel of oil equivalent; Prices updated till Nov 1, 2019 Did you know ?

Large number of companies in capital intensive sectors like steel, power and Infrastructure are under IBC. This has resulted in supply of ready assets below replacement cost; hence new asset creation was discouraged • Slowdown, in our opinion, was also exaggerated due to sharper decline in wholesale volumes in auto sector due to high inventory with dealers in FY19 and transition to BS VI norms from April 2020, that necessitated an inventory correction of old stock • Challenges faced by NBFCs and erosion of wealth due to sharp correction in midcap/small caps also had an adverse impact Sources: # IBBI.gov.in, Capitaline, Kotak Institutional Equities, Morgan Stanley 21 Refer disclaimers on slide 56
Why do we think Economic growth has bottomed ? Chart 1 • Link between Auto sector and GDP slowdown – 2 sides of the same coin ‒ Auto sector accounts for ~3-4% of GDP; thus volume de-growth of ~15%-20% shaves off 0.5% - 0.8% of GDP growth ‒ With inventory correction over, even if auto volumes are flat next year, GDP growth should be higher by 0.5-0.8% in FY21, on this count alone • Lower corporate tax cuts for new manufacturing units ‒ In a path breaking decision, government reduced the corporate tax rate to 15% for all new manufacturing units that commence production before Mar-23 Chart 2# ‒ In our view, given the general time to set up new unit is 2 - 4 years and deadline of Mar-23 to avail tax benefit, private capex should improve in FY21, especially by MNCs • Measures taken by Government & RBI ‒ Reduction in corporate tax rates & policy rates (135 bps in 2019); ‒ Multiple steps taken to resolve liquidity issues in NBFCs and Real estate; ‒ Focus on improving ease of doing business; India’s rank improved to 63 from 77 in 2018 & 100 in 2017 • Post verdict on Essar steel case, most large assets in Power, steel, infrastructure etc. are Table 1 likely to be resolved under IBC in FY20.

Corporate Tax Rate Cut – Addressing the weak link Chart 1 Chart 2 • India lagged China & other Asian countries in manufacturing (Chart 1) ‒ In 2018, China’s manufactured exports were ~8 times of India’s; Even Vietnam’s manufactured exports, which is 1/10th the size of India, are comparable with India’s manufactured exports (Chart 2) Chart 3 Chart 4 Manufacturing – Opportunity knocks again for India • Global companies are now looking to shift and diversify their supply chain from China. This is driven by ‒ China’s edge of low costs has diminished with rising labor costs ‒ Cost of real estate has risen significantly in China ‒ Stringent environmental standards ‒ Increasing trade tensions with the US • India was not a preferred destination compared to Asian countries despite a large domestic market, improving ease of doing business, Chart 5 similar labour costs, availability of skilled resources etc. mainly due to higher tax rates • With the recent corporate tax rate cut (from 30% to 15%) for new manufacturing units, India’s tax rate is now amongst the lowest in the region.

The end of Largecaps vs Mid / Small caps debate ? Table 1 CY19 YTD 10 15 5 Years • Over last few years, a popular belief was that mid / small cap companies grow in % CY14 CY15 CY16 CY17 CY18 upto 27th Years Years CAGR faster than larger companies. This belief was probably a result of higher returns Dec CAGR CAGR Nifty 50 31.4 -4.1 3.0 28.6 3.2 12.7 8.1 8.9 12.5 delivered by small / mid caps between CY14 - 17.

NIFTY SmallCap 55.0 7.2 2.3 57.3 -29.1 -10.7 1.2 4.8 9.9 Size on the other hand is a function of the nature of the business.

This probably led to an over valuation of mid / small caps. (Chart 1 & 2) 180% NIFTY Midcap premium Earnings growth (TTM) 160% to NIFTY 50 Average • Subsequently, with the correction in mid / small cap stocks in 2018 & 2019, 10 year 10 140% returns and valuations for Large caps and mid / small caps have converged. Hence, in 120% our judgment, the returns of large cap and mid / small cap should not diverge 100% materially over the medium to long term. 80% Broad Market Nifty 60% -10 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 • Also, the rally in NIFTY50 was a narrow rally. Top 5 stocks contributed to 152% & 81% 13 14 15 16 17 18 of NIFTY 50 returns in CY18 & CY19 respectively. In our judgment, such conditions will be short lived and we expect markets to become more broad based. How much to allocate in Largecap and Small / Midcaps ? In our judgment, 2/3rd to 3/4th allocation to Large caps and 1/3rd to 1/4th allocation to mid / small cap is a sound strategy for a typical investor “What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right” Albert Einstein This strikes a balance between stability of large caps and potential of mid / small caps mainly driven by stock selection by the Fund Manager The views are not an investment advice.
