Market Outlook

 There has been a subtle shift in the direction of global bond yields over
the last month with markets doubting the incremental effectiveness of
additional QE/Monetary easing measures on aggregate demand.
 With the election results in the US, there has been a further rise in
treasury yields, increase in long term market implied inflation
expectations and curve steepening.
9.50
 The recent demonetisation of high value notes can have major medium-
long term positive structural effects such as: a) potential additional 9.00
government tax revenues from better compliance over the coming 8.50
years, b) increase in tax/GDP ratios seen in conjunction with GST and
c) reducing the role of cash economy and additional access to formal 8.00
financial sector. 7.50
 Also potential short term gains arising from a) possible one-time gains
7.00 Average spread between G-sec
to government from FY18 arising from cancellation of illegal high value
and Repo in last 10 years: 75bps
notes which may impact next year borrowings, b) slowdown in 6.50
discretionary consumption and its cumulative impact on demand and
6.00
inflation and, c) improvement in banking liquidity as currency partially

returns to the system.
 Weak near term credit demand can support bonds, until the working
capital demand shifts to banking channels from the cash based 10 year GSec yield (mth end, %) Repo Rate (mth end, %)
channel.
 While fiscal situation can improve significantly over medium term, the
market can also take comfort from near term weakness in headline CPI.
 In this environment, the trend for a medium term easing in market yields
remains intact driven by incremental news flow on potential benefits to
government revenues over the medium term.
 In the very short term, global yield volatility , shifting expectations of US
Fed stance and lack of OMO’s /higher net supply can provide 2 way
movement in bond yields.

Investment Strategy

 The fund aims to provide investors with yield spreads on corporate debt securities by
cautiously managing the excess risk on its corporate investments. The fund will follow an
active credit quality management strategy.

 The scheme being open ended, some portion of the portfolio will be invested in money
market instruments so as to meet the normal repurchase requirements. The remaining
investments will be made in corporate debt securities which are either expected to be
reasonably liquid or of varying maturities. However, the NAV of the Scheme may be impacted
if the securities invested in are rendered illiquid after investment.

 In line with the scheme objective we have deployed funds in 2 – 3 year corporate bonds with
the primary focus on accrual. The portfolio average maturity is 3.23 years and the current
weighted average portfolio yield is 8.67%.

 Tactical exposure towards long AAA rated corporate bonds has been initiated with a positive
bias on interest rates.

Case Study: A Leading Hotel Company

Background: Jointly promoted by a renowned Indian corporate and a prominent Indian business
family.

Investment Thesis:
• The company has an experience of over 40 years and operates a portfolio of nine hotels in
multiple states in India.
• The company’s financial performance is expected to improve owing to increasing occupancy
as well as average room rates in key markets

Investment Rationale:
• Market outlook for key properties is stable to positive.
• Planned capital expenditure for the company is largely over with over 25% of inventory
added in previous three years and only maintenance expenditure planned in near term.
• Comfort from the common branding, operations, finance and treasury support extended by a
large hotel brand for the Company.
Case Study: A Leading Infra Company

Background:
• The company has a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) portfolio of 21 road projects
encompassing 5,000 lane km and spread across various states in India.

Investment Thesis:
• 15 out of its portfolio of 21 projects are fully operational.
• The company houses its road projects under two broad holding companies out of which one
was carved out with eight projects in its portfolio to enable a strategic stake sale to a fund
sponsored by a PSU Bank.
• The PSU Bank Sponsored Fund holds around 35% in the said company.

Investment Rationale:
• Key credit strengths are established track record in executing EPC contracts and BOT road
projects
• Moderate financial leverage and working capital requirements and equity investment of Rs.
700 crore by the PSU Bank Sponsored Fund brings the holding company into the league of big
BOT players being the exclusive platform for the Bank to bid for newer projects.
Synopsis

 Attractiveness of AA & below securities in the improving credit situation.

 Sentiments in the bond markets have improved since the formation of a

stable and pro reform government at the centre.

 Declining interest from foreign investors have been compensated by

increasing interest from domestic institutions in the bond market. This
inflow of funds will have an impact on the bond prices and may compress
yields.

 Declining inflation trajectory and the consistent rate cut by RBI. Its
better to capitalise on the high corporate bond yields now.
