Market Review

1.Foreign Trade: India registered a merchandise trade deficit of USD 17.40 billion in Aug’18 against USD 12.71 billion in Aug’17, increasing by 36.90% on Y-o-Y basis. On an M-o-M basis, the trade deficit contracted a bit by 3.44% from USD 18.02 billion recorded in Jul’18.

The Rupee ranged between Rs.68.36 - Rs.70.93 per USD before closing at Rs.70.93 per USD in the month of Aug’18, vis-à-vis Rs.68.61 per USD recorded in Jul’18.

The country’s merchandise exports was reported at USD 27.84 billion in Aug’18 as against USD 23.36 billion recorded in Aug’17, recording a strong growth of 19.18% Y-o-Y.

Non-petroleum exports, constituting around 86% of the total exports, stood at USD 24.02 billion, recording a Y-o-Y growth of 20.33% in Aug’18. Petroleum exports also saw a Y-o-Y surge of 12.38% in Aug’18 with exports worth USD 3.82 billion against

USD 3.40 billion in Aug’17.

2.Inflation:

Falling by 56 bps, August Wholesale Price Index came in at 4.53% as against 5.09% in the July mainly due to a moderate rise in prices of primary articles as well as a favourable statistical base.

At the same time, June WPI print was revised downwards to 5.68% from 5.77% previously. Inflationary pressures moderated in food articles as the overall basket saw a sequential rise of 0.15% compared to 1.28% in the previous month. However, upward momentum returned to manufactured products, rising by 0.34% vis-à-vis 0.09% previously.

On food inflation front, upside pressures eased as sequential

momentum noted a slight deceleration at 0.28% vis-à-vis 1.43% recorded in the previous month. While easing of price pressures is a welcome factor, sustained fall in further readings will likely provide further clarity for likely emergence of new trends.

3.Index of Industrial Production (IIP):

Industrial Production: Output growth increased to 6.61% in Jul’18, principally on account of increment in the y-o-y output growth of consumer durables and infrastructure/construction goods. Also, the manufacturing sector and use-based categories, particularly primary goods and consumer non-durables, among others recorded a healthy y-o-y growth in Jul’18.

Belying consensus estimates, headline consumer price inflation edged down to 3.69% vs. 4.17% in the previous month, posting a sub 4% print after a period of 10 months. Core inflation also moderated to 5.87% vs. 6.27% last month.

Among the BSE sectoral indices, S&P BSE IT index with 0.52% was the top gainer and S&P BSE Mid cap index with -12.55% was the top looser.

It was a mixed month for the major Asian Indices as Hangseng, Taiwan, Nikkei 225 ended by -0.36% and -0.52%, 5.49% respectively.

Apart from FII and MF activity, Key domestic data released in the month of September were:

The equity indices took a beating in the month of September owing to the continued weakness in currency and oil prices touching the 2014 highs. Adding to the woes, the IL&FS default triggered a sell-off in the financial space. On a brighter note, encouraging domestic inflation and industrial production data helped reign in some losses during the first fortnight of the month.

What is Price to earnings ratio (P/E)?

• P/E is the price one pays for the earnings. It tells how much one is willing to pay per rupee of earnings.

• Suppose P/E is 20, it means that one is willing to pay 20 for a 1 earning.

P/E is calculated as

P/E = Current Price / EPS

P/E calculated by using actual EPS is known as trailing P/E and tells actual price paid for the earnings. P/E calculated using projected EPS is known as forward EPS and is the price one is willing to pay for expected earnings.

P/E helps to understand whether the stock is cheap or expensive. High P/E means one is paying higher price for the earnings and low P/E means one is paying lower price for the earnings.

When Sensex trades much higher than its average PE, it will tend to revert back to its mean reducing Sensex value. Similarly when Sensex trades much lower than its mean it will tend to revert back to its mean increasing index value.

Current Sensex P/E is 22

THE LAW AND PROCEDURE APPLICABLE FOR INVESTMENT BY NRI IN INDIAN MFS

With excellent performance of the equity markets in India, Non-Residents Indians (NRI), which includes non-resident Indian citizens as well as Persons of Indian Origin (POI), are eyeing an opportunity to invest. So if an NRI wants to invest in mutual funds in India, what are the provisions that the person has to fulfil?

Know Your Customer (KYC) normsLike any other financial transaction, NRIs also have to comply with the basic KYC norms before they can start investing. The KYC process for NRI and residents is the same except that for residential status the NRI has to state non resident. As an NRI, you have to mandatorily provide your overseas address with documentary evidence. For communication purposes, however, you can provide your local address as well. Once the KYC is done your status will reflect as non-resident. The status to be reported in KYC form has to be as per the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) as investments are regulated by FEMA laws.

Mode of payment for making investmentsInvestments in mutual funds are permitted in Indian rupees only and you will receive the redemption proceeds also in the Indian currency. The payment for making investments in mutual funds can be done from either your NRE (Non Resident External) or Non Resident Ordinary (NRO) account. For money remitted from outside India in the form of rupee drafts or bankers’ cheque, you need to provide the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC) as well as a letter issued by the foreign bank. For making investments and for getting the redemption proceeds credited, you can register either your NRE or NRO account only as you are not allowed to register your foreign bank account.

Repatriation of redemption proceedsNRIs can make investments in all the products of mutual funds whether debts, equity or a mix of both. The investment in mutual funds can be made in two ways as far as option to remit back the money abroad is concerned. It can either be with a right to remit back the money abroad i.e. with repatriation or on non-repatriation basis. All the redemption proceeds of investments made from your NRE account or through direct remittances, can be fully remitted back abroad on repatriation basis.

The investments made from NRO account are non repatriable. However, an NRI you can remit upto USD 10 lakhs every year from his NRO account after payment of applicable Indian taxes due on the amount being remitted.

Joint holding and nominationNRIs can make investments in Indian mutual funds jointly with a resident or an NRI who has complied with KYC norms. For your mutual fund investments you can appoint any person/s as nominee. The nominee need not be an NRI and even a resident can also be made nominee for your investments in mutual funds.

Operation through power of attorney holderFor the purpose of day-to-day operations and management of your investment in mutual funds, you can appoint any resident of India through a power of attorney. The power of attorney has to be registered with the concerned mutual fund house. Once it is so registered, the POA holder can sign documents for purchase, switch and redemption. For the purpose of investment, the original POA or its notarised copy is required to be submitted. The POA needs to be signed by the NRI investor and the POA holder both.

Investment by US / Canada based non-residentsDue to cumbersome compliance requirements under FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) of US and Canada, only a few mutual fund houses allow US or Canadian residents to invest in mutual funds in India. As of now US/Canada based NRIs can invest in schemes of certain mutual funds houses like Birla Sun Life, SBI Mutual Fund, L&T Mutual Fund, PPFAS Mutual Fund, UTI Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential and DHFL Pramerica Mutual Fund.

Change of statusIn case you leave India in circumstances indicating an intention not to return to the country soon and thus making you a non resident for FEMA purpose, you should intimate all the mutual fund house where you already hold investment of the fact of your having become a non resident. The fund houses will then change you status to that of a non resident. Likewise if you come back to India for good and thus again become a resident, you need to intimate the fund house of that too.

Story of The Month

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the boiled eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

POTATOES, EGGS, AND COFFEE BEANS

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity - the boiling water.

However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “
