Dear Reader,

These are exciting times for Indian investors. We saw a period of increasing despondence and negativity in August and September. There was a political logjam affecting key legislation like GST and Land reforms. We also saw a few poor headlines affecting investor sentiment, like the Amtek Auto and the Volkswagen problems.

Just when things were looking bad, the RBI stepped in with a surprise 0.5% lowering of interest rates. This had a strong effect on the market sentiments. Loans will get cheaper. More people should be able to access banks for credit. The lowering of borrowing costs normally has a cascading effect on consumption, investments and growth. With inflation under control, its time to reduce the cost of doing business.

• This view of the last 2 years of Sensex performance shows that we have made good returns so far, close to 30% absolute. And we are still 10% below all time highs.
• Our sense is that FIIs are fence sitting at the moment, but Retail investors in India have built up the momentum and are steadily entering the stock market.
• There’s a massive shift happening in investment assets from real estate, gold and commodities to the stock market.
• India continues to be the fasting growing large economy, and the best performing Emerging Market country today. The fall in oil and commodity prices is very positive for a consumer and importer like India.
• The INR continues to weaken against the USD, and we expect it to range from 63-66 levels.
• Our opinion: Continue making steady investments in this market.
• Major events and risks: Bihar elections, China volatility and policy uncertainty among central govt. legislators.

At JainMatrix Investments the volatility has also affected us but such events offer opportunities too. We are happy to note that our portfolios continue to outperform the benchmark indices. Lets recap our recent reports and articles.
