Fund Managers’ Monthly Report

April 2012

  • Indian equities fell in March amid resurgent concerns over the nation’s fiscal health and faltering global economic growth.
  • A purchasing managers’ index suggested that manufacturing would remain robust, after industrial production accelerated in January, however, exports decelerated. In budget news, the government maintained its full-year gross domestic product (GDP) forecast at 7.6% and aimed to pare the fiscal deficit to 5.1% of GDP.
  • Inflation rose, driven by food and fuel prices. The central bank kept interest rates unchanged, but cut lenders’ cash reserve requirement to boost liquidity.
  • The ruling Congress party performed poorly in state elections. The biggest disappointment was in Uttar Pradesh, where a win was considered necessary for Congress to push through parliamentary reforms.
  • Uncertainty was heightened by the proposal to remove tax exemptions on the capital gains of foreign institutional investors using the market in the African nation of Mauritius to access the domestic equity market. Costs of investments may rise from this plan, which was put forth to extend the powers of the tax department. We are monitoring the development closely. Our long-term approach should mitigate any impact from the recommended change, which targets short-term investors.
  • There were no major portfolio changes in March.
