It’s been an encouraging year with equity markets topping and making new all-time highs. With various leading indices delivering between 30-70 percent returns, 2014 has created wealth for retail investors (Source: BSE India). The year 2015 is conducive for investing as the markets could consolidate and investors, big and small, may find opportunities to make long-term investments.

Indian household savings have been over-invested in physical assets like gold and real estate which failed to deliver returns for investors over last two years. In 2015 we recommend investors to incline their portfolios towards financial assets like equity and fixed income, as they have the potential to create wealth for investors over the longer term.

The new Government’s reforms have set the stage for moving Indian economy from vicious to virtuous economic cycle & may boost corporate earnings. Initiatives like Make in India, Digital and Skill India could place India in high growth trajectory.

Further, India’s macro fundamentals like Current Account Deficit, inflation, lower crude prices and growth impulses are improving. The good news is that Indian economy is poised to clock a high growth rate in 2016 & 2017, after consolidating for much of 2015. With Nifty’s current one-year forward Price Earning of 14.9x, market is also fairly valued. The beauty of market in 2015 is that it could be a great year to make investments in first six-nine months in a staggered manner to create wealth over next three-five years.

Switch from physical assets to financial assets

Current Indian economy expected to grow. Invest with a three year view

Invest in Domestic cyclicals to play India’s growth story

Fixed income looks attractive

Take the benefit of volatility

In equities, the attractive themes can be Banks because the leverage cycle is expected and Utilities because we are positive on interest rates coming down. There is also scope for capacity utilization to pace up in many of the industrial and manufacturing sectors. As the capacity utilization picks up, equities could deliver reasonable returns

Over the course of next year, debt is expected to do well. The Reserve Bank of India has kept interest rate cuts on hold till now but is expected to cut interest rates in 2015, which bodes very well for debt next year. In fact, India can be among the few countries that will see a drop in interest rates. Therefore, over next 15 months or so, it is attractive for investors to invest in long term debt funds in 2015.

The outlook for equity markets is good over 2016 to 2018, but there could be brief periods of volatility in 2015 taking cues from global factors. With the current price of crude and good growth prospects, India is one of the attractive emerging markets in the world and therefore, there lies an opportunity to invest in Indian equities for the long term. To beat volatility, investors should adhere to asset allocation which spreads the risks across asset classes. Alternatively, investors could also invest in products that offer the asset allocation strategy and benefit out of volatility.

Five things to keep in mind while investing in 2015

LETTER FROM THE CEO

03IPRU Insights | December 2014

A gradual revival in domestic economy

signals better days for debt in the medium

term and equities in the long run.

For the long-term India remains one of the

attractive emerging markets in the world.

Therefore, we are convinced that financial

assets are where investors could be in

2015, rather than physical assets such as

gold and real estate. As we head into 2015,

the Indian market may take cues from the

volatile global environment and offer

investment opportunities. Investors, large

and small, should avoid worrying about

these short-term corrections.

Yes, there are a few concerns, especially in

terms of domestic growth rates. Industrial

production figures have come negative.

But that’s a mere short-term phenomenon.

What the domestic economy perhaps

needs in 2015 is a little encouragement,

especially in capex. The Indian economy

has not had the kind of investment in

infrastructure that can lead to a decent

boost. Fortunately for India, a host of

commodity prices are lower and that will

benefit the country. On the other hand,

there aren’t many companies that are likely

to heavily invest in capacity expansions in

the short term as many are sitting on under-

utilized capacities.

Therefore, perhaps the onus of raising

expenditure on domestic capex lies with

the government. If the government

reduces the revenue deficit and raises the

fiscal deficit slightly to help boost spending

on infrastructure, it could give a boost to

some of the infrastructure products. Once

there’s a little increase in the capex cycle,

sooner or later the private sector will step

in and this may turn into a virtuous cycle.

India is well placed to withstand this

volatility. The Reserve Bank of India has

been one step ahead, factoring in the fact

that interest rates in the US could be raised

and affect fund flows. Otherwise, interest

rates may have been lower today. We are

also seeing lower commodity prices,

especially that of crude oil. India is a huge

importer of crude oil and savings in foreign

exchange are quite substantial on this

front. Even Prices of base metals are down.

We believe that this could go a long way in

reviving the Indian economy.

The West has been signaling for some time

now that there may be a rate increase on

the cards. This could mean a phase of

volatility in 2015. Higher interest rates in

the US indeed could strengthen the dollar

further and affect global fund flows.

Nearly $10 billion has poured into the

Indian equities market since April 2014. We

India positioned to withstand Global

headwinds

have also seen how news flows affect

sentiment. So, there are fears that, even on

small announcements, some of these

funds could be withdrawn, especially by

foreign investors looking at short-term

trades. These are legitimate concerns.

So here’s a brief of how small investors can

take to the New Year’s batting crease. We

encourage investors to enter the equity

markets over the next 6-9 months with an

aim to create wealth over the next 3-5

years. The equity markets are poised for

the long run. If you can get into good equity

funds on correction, that would be a great

start to 2015. Investors could go in for debt

mutual funds over the next one year; as, the

coming year ought to be good for debt

funds, especially funds of a longer duration.

A fixed-income boom may happen before

economic growth strengthens and, for

leveraging to begin, the interest-rate cycle

has to turn. So, you may invest in debt

funds in the immediate future for the next

12- to 15-months, and buy into equity funds

on dips for the longer horizon.

Market to offer opportunities

Getting on the right side of 2015

We encourage investors to enter the equity markets over the next 6-9 months with an aim to create wealth over the next 3-5 years.

Financial Resolutions 2015

LEAD STORY

How to make and keep your financial

resolutions for the New Year

Set your savings on autopilot, first

It’s that time of the year when everybody is

making year-end resolutions. For some the

priorities are losing weight, for others it’s

getting around to learning a new language

or skill. But for all, the one important

resolution should be to get a firmer handle

on your finances.

Investing is easier said than done, you say.

And like any New Year, when this one

comes to an end as well, we find that we

haven’t added any might or growth to our

financial savings kitty. That we are back to

square one – making resolutions for the

New Year again. That again we begin the

next year without putting our best financial

foot forward, and the cycle continues –

year after year.

It’s time to change that in 2015.

It is easy to make and keep your financial

resolutions. All one has to do is put your

savings plan on autopilot. These days it’s

so very easy due to technology.

The electronic clearing system that most

banks have been offering has been there

for some time now, and most of us who

have not got around making use of it

should walk over to the bank right now, and

start a new mandate.

Wherever you decide to save, the best way

to start is set up a standing order with your

bank, which puts the money straight into

your investment. Sure, you may have a little

less in your pocket and to splurge, but your

money will be directed towards and to

secure your financial future.

This way you are actually saving and investing

each month. Systematic investment plans of

mutual funds are tailored such that you make

a payment to the fund of your choice on a

particular date each month.

Make accountability an important factor

Set bill payment alerts

Another great tool that psychologists’

advice to keep your savings goal on track is

to make accountability an important factor

when creating a savings goal. Either you

could get accountable to someone. Or you

could create a financial incentive or

disincentive around your targets that help

you keep your goals.

For a investment plan, create a structure

where every time you miss an investment,

you are going to lose a promise to your

friend or spouse. Make the promise huge,

twice or thrice your investment amount, so

that you cringe when you have to lose it.

Behavioral experts call it lose aversion that

drives behavior which drives you to avoid a

loss, at any cost. The very fact that you may

lose something drives you to take a

decision, which your savings plan is a

positive one. So use this technique this

New Year, and keep your savings on track.

One of the big causes of losing money is

late payments in credit cards, electricity

bills, and so on. Look closer, the monthly

interest payments amount to about 3

percent a month on credit cards. If you miss

your payment, it not only increases the

interest burden on you, the late fees, and

other charges add up to a significant sum.

If this adds up, it can get difficult to pay

your credit cards so much so that

sometimes people tend to roll-over their

outstanding by paying the minimum due.

Compounding works against you if you

underpay your credit cards.

So, the best thing is to set your bill payment

alerts. Make good use of the technology

that automatically prompt you to pay on

time. It will be a lot less costly than missing

a payment, and can save you thousands in

missed payments.

Keep a master list and summary of each of

your investment separately, and how they

have done over a three-month period. Visit

this only once in three months to know

major progress.

But a more important thing to do this New

Year is to keep a tear down and account of

your financial journey – not only for fun but

also to know the progress you have made.

Keep a financial diary. Not only note each

investment that you made every day, but

also each major expense.

Largely, use this diary to note and describe

your experience with investing, and your

learnings, your understanding or lack of

understanding of any investment and the

outcome of any financial decision. This will

he lp you gain ins ights on your

investments. You will also know why

certain investments are doing better than

others. A financial diary is your experience

of handling your own money. Note every

small detail of it. You could maintain the

diary on a daily, monthly or weekly basis.

Make your diary interesting by writing

nuggets of wisdom from the masters and

compare it with your own. However, you do

it, just keep doing it for a few months this

year at the beginning regularly, and it will

morph into a lovely habit for a lifetime.
