Our Equity Outlook
• Indian equity market has underperformed Global and Asian Markets in the last few months*
• Also, in the last few weeks, we have seen good correction, resulting in moderation of premium
• However, we believe there is further head-room for valuations to normalize compared to long-
term average and relative to Emerging & Developed Market peers
• We continue to remain optimistic on long term economic prospects of India albeit with a cautious
view for near term as valuations are not cheap
• Hence, in sync with our Annual Outlook for 2023 (read here), we continue to recommend the ‘SAFE’
Investment Approach
• ‘S’ – Recommend Freedom SIP / Booster STP in Equity Schemes
• ‘A’ – Expect volatility, recommend asset allocation across asset classes / geographies
• ‘F’ – Debt schemes attractive post rate hikes
• ‘E’ – Recommend Equity Arbitrage / Equity Savings category for parking surplus funds
*Source – Value Research. SAFE is an acronym used for Investment Approach for 2023 and does not in any manner indicate safety or less risk

Our Fixed Income Outlook
• The Union Budget was an extension to previous two budgets which was presented post the pandemic
• Growth has normalized, but we believe the pace of fiscal consolidation remains slow
• Strong tax buoyancy due to higher nominal growth (inflation included) made this year’s fiscal deficit target comfortable
• However, next year’s conditions due to higher inflation base may make the fiscal deficit target difficult to achieve
• Quality of spending in the budget remains good, which may result in growth remaining robust in the face of global
headwinds
• Hence effectively, challenging fiscal deficit math and strong growth may push RBI to hike rates moderately followed by
a period of elongated pause
• Changes in tax structure in select insurance products may be a dampener for the demand of long-dated bonds
• Also, the yield curve continues to remain flat, making term-premium unattractive
• Hence, we continue with our stance of remaining cautious on the longer-end of yield curve
• Having said that, the yields have become attractive on the shorter-end and we recommend investing in short-duration
schemes
• Accrual strategy is also recommended as the case for capital appreciation remains low due to low probability of rate-
cuts
Term Premium - The term premium is the amount by which the yield on a long-term bond is greater than the yield on shorter-term bonds
