• Sovereign Rating Upgrade: India’s improving growth outlook and structural reforms agenda got a boost with
Moody’s upgrading India’s local and foreign currency rating to Baa2, a notch above Baa3 earlier. Moody’s
cited reforms such as GST, measures to address the banking system NPL, Aadhaar-enabled direct benefit
transfer etc.
• The Q2 GDP print came in at 6.3% reversing the decelerating trend. The recovery was led by manufacturing
which saw a smart rebound to 7%. In terms of expenditure, both private and govt consumption growth
remained weak but investments i.e: GFCF (Gross fixed Capital Formation) growth improved to 4.7%. Net
exports were up marginally as well
• India’s rank improving by 30 places in World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Survey supporting the view of
transitions being underway in the economy
• The Central Cabinet approved an ordinance approving an amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Code to prevent wilful defaulters from bidding for stressed assets.
• FIIs finally turned into large net buyers once again with $2.8bn of buying in November; taking the YTD net
buying to $8.6bn. DIIs remained buyers to the tune of $1.4bn in November; which took the DII YTD tally to
a staggering ~$12.8bn. Mutual Funds once again drove the inflows with $1.6bn being poured-in; while
Insurers were small net sellers of $220mn.
• Capital market activity swelled in Nov-17, with some sizeable IPOs like HDFC Life and block trades like that
in Bharti Airtel.

Key Variables & Their Impact On Equities
Key Variables Short -term
Medium -term
Remarks
Economy GST to impact near-term activity especially informal
segment
Corporate EarningsImproving operating leverage, falling interest costs and
improvement in working capital can accelerate
earnings, but a bit back-ended. Key is improvement in
capacity utilisation
FII FlowIndia stands out among global asset classes with
prospects of strong long term growth.
DII FlowFocus on improving financial savings of households
Supply of paperHigher disinvestment target and repair of leveraged
balance sheet to create supply in markets.
Interest Rates Transmission
Fall in interest rates to help revive demand and reduce
stress for companies with significant debt. Market
expecting better transmission of rates.
Policy/Reform Initiative
GST – landmark reform implemented, can result in
higher tax compliance

Risk 3 – Populist measures
37
Government may turn populist
• While the current government has been disciplined fiscally, as it has focussed incrementalspending on capex and/or fiscal deficit reduction, the risk of rising profligacy cannot be ruledout as we head towards the May ’19 general elections. One example of this is the rise infarm loan waivers in the past few months, partly driven by low agri product prices and weakmonsoons in 2014- 15.
• The government has already readied its armour to take the fight against corruption to thenext level with the law on benami property. This law can be used to provisionally attachbenami properties and eventually confiscated. The act can help to improve transparency inproperty ownership but can cause economic disruption if used indiscriminately. A bigcrackdown under the benami property law may yield political gains as seen with thedemonetisation move. …though the probability of the same is low

How Nov 2017 Unfolded
Macro Data:
• The government's fiscal deficit during the first seven months (April-October) of the current fiscal was Rs 5.25
lakh crore, or 96.1% of the budgeted target for the current fiscal year that ends in March 2018
• Inflation :
– Consumer prices in October rose 3.58 % over the same month last year, on the back of rising food and
fuel prices. CPI inflation in September was revised to 3.28 %
– Wholesale inflation picked up in October to a six-month high to 3.59% in October driven by faster rises in
prices of food and fuel products.
• Manufacturing activity improved in November to its highest level since October 2016 on the back of growth in
new orders and output. The Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index recorded a value of 52.6
in November, up from 50.3 in October
• Eight core sectors grew at a slower pace of 4.7% in October, chiefly due to subdued performance of cement,
steel and refinery segments.
• The country’s Index of Industrial Production rose 3.8 % in September, compared with the revised 4.5 % in
August (a nine-month high) and 5.7 % in September last year
• The RBI cancelled a bond sale via open market operation worth Rs 10,000 crore scheduled, citing “evolving
liquidity conditions

44
How Nov 2017 Unfolded
Trade Data :
India’s merchandise exports declined for the first time in 14 months in October as exporters struggled with a
liquidity crunch because of delayed refunds under the goods and services tax (GST) regime
– Exports fell 1.1% in October to $23.1 billion (against $28.6 billion in September,2017) while imports
expanded at the slowest pace in 10 months at 7.6% to $37.1 billion (against $37.6 billion in
September)
– India’s trade deficit in the month was $14 billion (against $9 billion in September)
India’s Rating:
– Global rating agency Moody’s upgraded India’s sovereign bond rating for the first time in nearly 14
years. It lifted the India’s rating to Baa2 from Baa3, changed its rating outlook to stable from positive
as “risks to its credit profile were broadly balanced
– Global rating agency Standard and Poor on Friday retained India’s sovereign rating at BBB- with a
stable outlook
GST:
– The GST Council reduced rates on 210 items of which 180 were in the top 28 per cent bracket.
– A uniform 5 per cent tax was prescribed for all restaurants, both AC and non-AC
Disinvestment
45 Source : India Budgetget.in
With the government retaining Rs145bn ofinflows received for its Bharat 22 ETF saledone, the disinvestment proceeds for theyear have reached a record Rs525bnalready.
Visible pipeline for divestment includes thec.Rs320bn to be received if the ONGC –HPCL deal goes through taking the total toc.Rs840-850bn.
This implies high likelihood ofdivestments crossing the Rs725bntarget.
• Historically, there tends be a shortfall between divestment target and actual achievement (e.g. Rs462bn achieved in FY17 vs. Rs565bn budget) and as such there is some cushion built here.
• However, this year the fiscal has been seeing multiple stresses (lower RBI dividend, telecom revenues, fuel duty cuts and likely GST shortfall) which have created a bit of a scare on the same. To that extent, beating the divestment target will be a relief.
Positive Real Interest Rates to Stimulate Financial Savings
46
• Earlier, negative real rates fueled inflation in physical assets as people chased assets
such as real estate and gold till 2014.
• With real rates in the positive territory now, money may move from physical to financial
assets.

• The CPI inflation hardened to a seven-month high 3.58% in October 2017 (+4.2% in October 2016) from3.3% in September 2017 (+4.4% in September 2016; partly reflecting the base effect and on the back ofrising food and fuel prices.
• The core-CPI inflation remained steady at 4.6% in October 2017, in line with the print in September 2017.On an MoM basis, the core-CPI sub-index increased by 0.5% in October 2017, similar to the rise in October 2016. The core-CPI inflation exceeded the headline CPI inflation for the fourteenth month in a row, although the wedge between the two narrowed mildly in October 2017.

Yield Curve (M-o-M Analysis)
• The key worry for the market has been the fiscal slippage and OMO bond supply which has lead to bear flattening of the curve
• With cancelation of OMO and rating upgrade, there was brief rally. However the fiscal worry is not allowing the market to
retrace
• The yield in the 5-10 yr space has gone up more than the 14yr maturity.
• The 10 year benchmark was the worse performer, as the market is awaiting for the new benchmark to come.

India-US 10 Year Gilt- Narrowing Spreads Have More Legs To Run

The spreads will continue to compress in medium term due to narrowing inflation
differentials and rating upgrade
India-US 10 Year & CPI Spreads
Narrowing CPI spread makes Indian bonds attractive. Therefore Indian bonds are
increasingly attractive and will attract FII flows

Debt Outlook
• The RBI has made the future course of interest rates dependent on inflation trajectory and GDP growth
• The government is running fiscal, with no room for error. Therefore market will remain on the tenterhooks.
This will keep the bond yields range bound till the clarity emerges either way
• CPI data was around market expectation of 3.50% while the Core was at 4.6%. However, we expect the
CPI to be around 4.5% by March-2018. This is close to the RBI target
• While we agree that the CPI is rising; but it is not at alarming level. The market is running way ahead,
despite the fact that the real rates remain high vis-à-vis the 10 yr bond yields (even after assuming 4.5% full
year inflation)
• The GDP data was neutral however it will be extremely difficult to achieve RBI target of 6.7% GDP for the
full year without any fiscal or monetary support. The RBI is likely to acknowledge this in the MPC
• The 10 yr benchmark is on the way out. Therefore we need to watch 6.68 G Sec 2031(security) which will
trade in the band of 7%-7.15% in the near term
• In nut shell all eyes on the RBI MPC and fiscal clarity
– we believe fiscal will be maintained at 3.2% however clarity will emerge by end of December
– we expect RBI to be neutral and market has priced in potential negatives
• The corporate bond 18-36 month yields are expected to remain stable and the curve will remain steep.

Why Accrual Funds ?
• India is one of the fastest growing economy in the world and this will translate into revenue and
profitability for India Inc. Commodity & oil price decline has reduced input cost and increased
margin support
• Kotak AMC has strong fundamental processes in place to manage and mitigate credit risk
• Kotak AMC does not invest below A category rating. Our robust monitoring ensures that we do not
take exposure even in AA & A ratings from sensitive sectors
• AAA rate firms have never ever defaulted. The risk of default of AA is only 0.03% and of A is only
0.63%. Not Just that, the AAA continue to hold their rating 97% of times, AA around 92% of times,
and A around 88% of times
• With efficiently managed credit risk, yields on accrual funds are attractive even on risk-
adjusted basis.

Story in Accruals
• The Fund Manager focuses on generating income from credit allocation rather than duration calls.
• Accruals funds generate performance by purchasing high yielding assets with relatively short
duration.
• This provides investor with a relatively high yield with low NAV volatility
• Investors with 18-36 months horizon can look at investing in Accrual Funds
• Accrual funds like Kotak Income Opportunities / Kotak Medium term provide retail investors the
potential to obtain high yields in the present condition.
