Portfolio Positioning

Manufacturing with focus on Exports

Contract manufacturing is booming, and production-linked incentive schemes are putting a lot of spotlight on this topic.

IT Services

Covid was instrumental in reducing the five-year investment in digitalisation to less than three years. Many businesses across all industries have been pushed to shift and implement digital processes, resulting in increased digitisation spending.

Cyclical Recovery theme

A wager on cyclical recoveries as well as a proxy for infrastructure and real estate investments.

Financials – Non-Lending

Insurance should be viewed as a multi-decadal growth industry. In this digital environment, capital market intermediaries and fintech are industries to watch.

Investment Framework

Technology Enablers

  • India’s IT exports at USD 150 Bn+ > Saudi’s Oil Exports
  • Impact of Covid – Digital enablement is the need of the hour
  • Talent Pool – Unparalleled IT engineer pool of 45 lakh which is expected to go to ~100 lakh
  • India Cost advantage continues to sustain – Boston to Bengaluru

Platform Companies

  • B2C Stack Established: India’s stack is unique – Cheap Data + Free payment rail (UPI) + Aadhar
  • B2B Stack Emerging GST + OCEN (Open Credit Enablement Network) + ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce)
  • India not a big horizontally integrated market yet – Likes of Amazon, Flipkart are still a small part of overall consumption pie
  • Digital Rupee – Power of Programmability

Why Now?

  • Investing in tomorrow’s leaders by focusing on companies in the midst of the economic cycle: High Growth Prospects
  • Mid-cap stocks have typically outperformed others over time. In the long term, the mid-cap category has outperformed the large-cap and small-cap segments.
  • 5 Year Rolling Return Comparison: The present alpha levels of Nifty Midcap 150 above Nifty 100 are still at 3%, but mean reversion could push it up to 7%.
  • There is still plenty of room for growth in the Nifty Midcap100 vs the Nifty50. The Nifty Midcap 100/Nifty 50 ratio is a strong signal for investing in mid-cap stocks. The Mid Cap ratio peaked at 2.0 in 2018, and current levels imply that there is still opportunity for mid-cap growth, given that the trend line has been expanding over time.
