Date: 20th Mar 2014
JainMatrix Investments launched its Mid Cap portfolio in Feb 2013. This is the March 2014 update of this Model portfolio along with a review of the performance and a recap of the individual stocks.
Here’s the brief investment note:
- The year 2014 opened on a positive note. The major Indices are at all-time highs, and we are seeing heavy investments by FIIs and a pre-election rally, since the election schedule was announced on 5th March.
- The election results are unpredictable, and more so the effect of these on the economy. But our feel is that the economy is past its worst, and is on a recovery path.
- The INR/USD appears to be gaining strength, another sign of improvement. Inflation appears to be down, perhaps from improving supply rather than falling demand. With good rainfall this year, we are seeing better agricultural production. The beaten down sectors such as capital goods, infrastructure, oil & gas and mid-caps, are seeing a revival.
- The uncertainties on the horizon include an inconclusive election result, USA monetary tightening and the Ukraine – Russia tensions.
- Theme: The investment theme for now is – exports, private sector banks, NBFCs and selective infrastructure. The investor should continue his wealth building process with Mid-Caps.
- Performance: In a volatile environment, the portfolio performed very well. On average the 6 Buy recommendation shares were up by 40.8%. But including the one Hold and one Sell (recommendations in Dec 2013) the portfolio gained by an absolute 16.5%.
- This compares well with the Benchmark Indices CNX Midcap (-6.5%) and BSE Midcap (-7.4%) which fell in this period.
- There is one addition to this portfolio, in this report, so now there are 7 shares in this portfolio that are BUY recommendations and one Hold.
- Investors need to continue to invest in these shares in a SIP mode.
