TraditionalFunds`Growth FundSuper Fund<strong>Newsletter</strong>VOLUME 8BalancedFund


CIO’s VIEWSDear Policyholder,This is the eighth issue of the “<strong>Max</strong> <strong>Life</strong> Invest Track “is a good forum toreach out to all of you and give you a perspective on what the <strong>Max</strong> <strong>Life</strong><strong>Investment</strong> Team is thinking and doing with your funds.The last few months have seen very high volatile movements in equity,bond and even currency markets that drew parallels with the year 2008.In the month of June, US Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, hinted that QE-3could be tapered down if the US economy showed signs of growth. Thistriggered a lot of panic selling across both Emerging Market equities andfixed income assets. Emerging market currencies too suffered forcingCentral banks to either pause or tighten monetary policy to prevent further weakness in currencies.India too unfortunately is one of Emerging markets impacted by the global events arising out of theUS. The Reserve Bank of India has tried to bring about some stability to the Rupee. TheGovernment too is trying to step up reforms and boost productivity of existing investments tocreate a favourable investment climate.These last few months have been challenging and difficult to maneuver with currency volatilityapplying severe pressure on markets. The fall in global commodities has been neutralized bycurrency depreciation, and this could even have a detrimental impact on our FY 14 subsidy bill.RBI is wary of these developments and our burgeoning CAD and its funding dependency onexternal flows could pause loosening in monetary policy for at-least sometime. The favourablemonsoon this year should ensure that food price inflation is under control for FY14. We believe thata stable rupee and clarity in US data will be crucial determinants of the direction asset markets takein the short term. Our fund managers have tried to tactically adjust asset allocations and durationto put our view and outlook into practice.In this issue of quarterly newsletter, we have included an article oncurrency depreciation, which tries to make the point that all is not lostas the rupee has depreciated. It should be seen as a correctivemechanism with certain positives as well. The positives, however,may take some time to materialize. Financial goals andinvestments should remain on track during such volatile times.Regards,Prashant SharmaCIO, <strong>Max</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Insurance</strong>.

Currency DepreciationIt’s not all badVOLUME 8The Indian Rupee has depreciated considerably over the last few months. The genesis of thisweakening can be attributed to the fundamentals of India's trade and current account deficits (CAD)which continued to grow beyond sustainable proportions. In the quarter ending December 2012,CAD reached a record level of 6.7% of GDP owing to burgeoning imports of gold and crude oil. Aweakening currency makes imported goods costlier and this stokes domestic inflationary pressures.This is precisely the reason RBI is making efforts to ensure that the currency weakening is arrestedand the government is playing its own role to ensure imports like gold are restricted and fundingthrough FDIs is restored.Economic theory says that when a currency depreciates, it leads to an increased competitiveness in theexports segment of that country. Another positive to the depreciation is that imports become costlierand the domestic demand for imported commodities would fall thereby helping bring down the tradedeficit. Marshall and Lerner were two eminent economists who proved that such a weakening ofcurrency will initially widen country's trade deficit because exports remain the same while import billsgrow fatter. However, with the passage of time, exporters benefit from increased competitiveness andimporters cut down their demand and the trade deficit narrows down. Also the consumers do notadjust to price change of imported goods until they can find a cheaper substitute. This is why there is atime lag between the actual depreciation of a currency and the positive impact on the country's currentaccount balance.It has been shown by a study that for India, it takes few quarters for the INR depreciation to startproducing positive results in exports and thereby reducing our trade deficit. So we may expect the INRdepreciation during April-June 2013 to have a meritorious impact on our trade deficit and CAD by FY15. However, there are many other factors at play which could influence the way the trade balanceultimate turns out viz. the simultaneous weakness of other currencies which compete directly with usfor exports, global growth and import demand, etc. Therefore, while US growth could help our cause,currency weakness witnessed all across Asia, Brazil, etc., does hamper our export competitiveness.Having understood all the potential benefits of currency depreciation it is also essential to grasp whythe RBI has always has been cautious when it comes to the CAD and the funding of this deficit. In arecent paper published by RBI, it was determined that the sustainable CAD for India would be nothingmore than 2.5% of GDP assuming India continues to grow at about 6% annually in real terms. Thecurrent rise in CAD poses a big threat to sustainability especially an issue when funding challengessurface like the severe outflows seen since May 2013. Under such circumstances the currencydepreciates, but this in turn leads to further selling and forms a vicious cycle.(Sources–Concept of J Curve effect of Currency Depreciation & Devaluation and the J curve by Mohsen BahmaniOskooee )

VOLUME 8FAQsWhat is Beta?This is one of the most staple yardsticks for measuring risk of a stock or a portfolio. If themain objective of portfolio management is earning returns, then the most crucial constraintis risk which can be defined as the standard deviation or volatility of returns. In laymanparlance beta could be thought of as the sensitivity of the stock or portfolio to the movementof the entire market of traded securities. Lower the beta value, lower the sensitivity andhence less risky is the investment. Mathematically beta of a stock is derived from historicalanalysis of the stock returns versus market returns using a statistical tool calledregression. A portfolio’s beta is a simple weighted average of the component stocks’ beta inthe portfolio. Capital Asset Pricing model(CAPM) theorizes that the excess return of acertain portfolio over and above the risk-free rate is directly proportional to the excessreturns of the market as a whole, and in this equation the coefficient of proportionality is‘beta’.Jensen’s alphaBefore we would go on to understand Jensen’s alpha, it is imperative to get a firm purchaseon the conceptual linkage between returns and risk. The plot of values would be a positivesloping curve which goes to show that higher the risk of investments greater would be thereturns generated on holding those stocks. With this in the background let us nowcategorize the returns-earning ability of a fund manager into two parts viz. skill and riskappetite. The part called risk appetite is explained by the phenomenon of beta whichpropounds that higher the risk loving nature of a fund manager, greater can be the returnshe/she generates. However if a fund manager’s mantra is to beat his peers and thebenchmark, then skill is what can achieve that desired objective. Jensen’s alpha is thatexcess return generated by the fund manager over and above what the ‘beta’ of his portfoliowould deliver according the CAPM.Sharpe ratio?The Sharpe ratios (excess real returns divided by standard deviation of returns) are good,indicating a good risk-adjusted performance i.e. good excess return per unit of volatility.Here volatility is being captured by systematic and unsystematic risk both.Higher the ratio, better the performance of Fund Manager.
