INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

NOTE:

 

The Registered office of the company has been shifted from Kalpataru Synergy, 3rd Floor, West Wing, Santacruz (East), Mumbai – 400055, Maharashtra, India, to the present address w.e.f 25.04.2011. 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Company was incorporated on September 20, 2006. The Company is a subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management (Asia) Inc., (JPMAMAI) and ultimate subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase and Company (‘JPMorgan Chase’), the holding company for a group of companies that provide a wide range of products & services to its clients.

 

 

BUSINESS OBJECTIVE

 

The principal objective of the Company is to act as financial advisors, investment managers and investment advisors, and to render financial management, financial consultancy and advisory services. Under the investment management agreement dated December 6, 2006, JPMorgan Mutual Fund India Private Limited (‘the trustee company’) has appointed the Company to act as investment manager for the schemes launched by JPMorgan Mutual Fund (‘the Fund’).

 

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

The Company managed fourteen mutual fund schemes. The expenditure for the period was Rs.402.420 million (2009-10: Rs. 372.640 million) as against an income of Rs.185.070 million (2009-10: Rs.198.690 million) resulting in a net loss of Rs. 217.350 million (2009-10: Rs.173.950 million).

 

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

The Indian economy is estimated to have grown by 8.6% during 2010-11.

 

Agricultural growth was above trend, following a good monsoon. The index of industrial production (IIP), which grew by 10.4% during the first half of 2010- 11, moderated subsequently, bringing down the overall growth for April-March 2010-11 to 7.8%. The main contributor to this decline was a deceleration in the capital goods sector. However, other indicators, such as the manufacturing PMI, tax collections, corporate sales and earnings growth, credit off-take by industry (other than infrastructure) and export performance, suggested that economic  activity was strong.

 

Inflation was the primary macroeconomic concern throughout 2010-11. It was driven by a combination of factors, both structural and transitory. For FY2011, Inflation still stands above the RBI’s comfort zone where on a year to date basis it has averaged 8.86%. RBI started increasing the Policy rates in order to curb the inflation which lead to repo rates increasing by 175bps to 6.75%, reverse repo rates by 150 bps to 5.75% and CRR rates by 25 bps to 6.00%.

 

 

MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY

 

With AUM of Rs. 5.92 lac crore at the end of March 2011, the industry registered a decline of 4% over a year. The total funds mobilized during the year stood at Rs.88.60 lac crore as against Rs.100.19 lac crore in the previous year, representing a decline of 12%. Though 518 new schemes were launched during the year as against 174 in the previous year, on a net basis there was an outflow of Rs.0.49 lac crore as compare to an inflow of Rs.0.83 lac crore in the last year. Further, redemptions were 10% lower than in the previous year.

 

During the year, AMFI issued a Best Practice Circular on the standardization of complaints, grievances, reporting procedure and also with regard to accounts of minors, registration of nominee and transmission of units.

 

SEBI has constituted a committee to examine the recommendations given by AMFI and advise SEBI on various recommendations of AMFI.

PRESS RELEASE

 

6TH WAVE OF INVESTMENT CONFIDENCE INDEX BY J.P. MORGAN ASSET MANAGEMENT IN ASSOCIATION WITH VALUE NOTES

 

- Retail investor confidence is highest in Pune

- Hyderabad sees highest rise in retail investor confidence

- A significant percentage of retail investors indicate interest in investing in global markets

- Corruption along with inflation kills confidence in India

 

 

Mumbai, January 25, 2010: Today, JPMorgan Asset Management India Private Limited, (JPMAMIPL) in association with ValueNotes announced the findings of their sixth wave of the Investment Confidence Index (ICI) in India. The J.P. Morgan Asset Management – Value Notes Investment Confidence Index (ICI), which was launched in August 2009, is published on a quarterly basis. ICI captures the confidence of the retail and corporate investor sector as well as financial advisors on the Indian economic and investment environment.

 

The single biggest finding this quarter is that global economic worries appear to be receding within the investment community. The findings suggest that confidence among the Indian financial community has begun to steady. Though the ICI has remained stable over the quarter, the underlying sub-indices have changed. While confidence in the Indian economic situation and optimism in increasing investments has decreased, the fall has been offset by optimism over the global economic outlook and investment portfolio appreciation.

 

Value Notes, an independent market research company, was commissioned by J.P. Morgan Asset Management to conduct the survey. The ICI was developed by interviewing a random sample of retail investors (with a wallet size in excess of INR 200,000), corporate investors and financial advisors. The survey took place in December 2010 in eight cities across India: Mumbai, Delhi/NCR, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad.

 

The key objective of the ICI is to quantify confidence in the investment environment among investors and advisors. The survey also attempts to study investment behaviour and sentiment based on key factors such as the improvement in the Indian and global economic environment, general investment atmosphere, expectation of growth in investment portfolios and others. Additionally, ICI analyses the short term and long term changes in investment behaviour and outlook every quarter, from an investor and advisor standpoint.

 

The J.P. Morgan Asset Management – Value notes ICI score is derived from responses to the following questions posed to all target segments:

 

1) The likelihood of the Indian economic situation improving from current levels in the next six months.

2) The likelihood of an improvement in the general investment market environment and atmosphere from current levels in the coming six months.

3) The possibility of the global economic environment improving from current levels in the coming six months.

4) The likelihood of the BSE Sensex increasing in the next six months.

5) The prospect of your / your clients investment portfolio appreciating in the coming six months.

6) Expected increase or decrease in the amount of investment and/or increase in mutual fund inflows in the coming six months.

 

Responses to these 6 questions also form the basis for arriving at the Retail Investor Confidence Index, Corporate Confidence Index and the Advisor Confidence Index which are sub-indices of the Investment Confidence Index. At any given point, the indices can move from „0 to ‘200, with ‘0’ depicting the most negative outlook; ‘200’ depicting full and absolute confidence and ‘100’ showing a neutral position.

 

Mr. Christopher Spelman, Whole time Director and Chief Executive Officer of J.P. Morgan Asset Management said, “It is encouraging to see that investors are becoming less wary of the global economic situation and that a significant percentage of them are willing to explore investments in international markets. This tells us that whilst investors have strong belief in the long term growth of the Indian economy they are becoming more cognizant of the benefits of diversification. As a fund house that strongly encourages diversification and offers a number of products designed specifically for investors that are interested in apportioning a part of their investments to global markets, this is a trend we are monitoring closely.”

 

Mr. Arun Jethmalani, Managing Director, Value Notes commented, “Though investor confidence has remained steady over the last quarter, the underlying drivers have changed. Even as Indian investors appear less worried about the global economy, domestic concerns have resurfaced. Worries over inflation are still dominant, but corruption has emerged as a major issue. This has kept investor confidence down and is impacting fresh investment flow.”

 

The ICI now stands at 146.3, climbing 5.1 points or 3.5% from February 2010 reading of 141.2. The Retail Investor Confidence Index ranks highest at 159.5, followed distantly by the Advisor Confidence Index (147.2) and the Corporate Confidence Index (132.2).

 

 

KEY FINDINGS:

 

Older investors get cautious as confidence among retail investors from the age group of 60-65 years dipped sharply by 15 points from the last quarter and now stands at 140.

The Corporate ICI has been range bound in the last four quarters and remained unchanged for December 2010 (as compared to September 2010) at 132 points.

IFA confidence has seen the maximum volatility over the last four quarters. Confidence among IFAs (146.9) this quarter declined 10 points from September 2010 (156.9). On the contrary, N/RDs (147.2) have recorded an increase of 6.8 points.

A significant percentage of retail investors (47%) and their advisors (44%) indicate interest in investing in markets outside India. Brazil and China appeared to be attractive investment destinations for investment recommendations from advisors while their retail investors prefer USA and other Asian markets.

A higher percentage of retail investors (19%) and advisors (14%) are optimistic about growing corporate profitability in comparison to corporate themselves (12%).

Inflation remains the biggest cause of concern over the past four quarters among retail investors (19%), corporates (63%) and advisors (48%). Corruption has emerged as the new confidence killer with 19% retail investors, 8% corporates and 16% advisors voting it to be the most negative economic indicator in the current scenario.

Retail investment activity between stock and Mutual Funds continued to move inversely as stocks declined to 68% while Mutual Funds increased to 66%.

IFAs from Pune (96%) are most positive closely followed by Delhi/NCR and Kolkata (93% each). Chennai IFAs are the least confident among all cities with only 84% of them expecting the BSE Sensex to trade above the current levels.
