Executive Summary
* Global macro is weak – economies slowing down, interest rates increasing, fiscal pressure growing, inflation cooling off
* India – oasis of green. Growth is strong, inflation cooling, stable currency, stable bond market. India Elections short term material event.
* Long term returns are driven by earnings growth – higher growth leads to better returns and vice versa.
* Small and midcaps significantly outperformed large caps
* Trend since March 2020, which has accelerated since 1 st April, 2023 – poor RoE and weak growth companies outperformed their stronger counterparts.
* Possible reason could be longer duration for high growth stocks v/s low growth. Sharp interest rate increase caused longer duration to underperform shorter duration.
