In our year end note of 2014, we advised cautious optimism as the markets were richly valued. As we say good bye to 2015, our outlook for 2016 continues to be that of cautious optimism. Balance sheets and business prospects are looking better but the political environment continues to be a challenge.

India is a country with 120 crore population of which 1% i.e., 1.2 crore people are coming into the job market every year. This translates to 10 lakh youngsters seeking jobs every month. This creates a unique opportunity/ challenge for the country.

As a democracy we are maturing into a country with a lot of aspiration for growth and prosperity. Common theme for all governments both at the centre and states has now become working towards good governance and creating opportunities. Key for all the governments lies in execution of the promises and moving on a progressive path. Effective execution and delivery by governments and business in not optional any more.

India’s demography, aspirations of the people will be factors that will try and drive the nation towards development. There are going to be hurdles and setbacks but we believe that the direction will be north bound.

As India marches toward becoming a 10 trillion dollar economy from a 2 trillion dollar economy over the next decade or so, we expect the markets to reflect this growth through an increase in market capitalization.

We believe that Indian market continues to be attractive for disciplined investors with a long term horizon. Our endeavour will be to continue with a “boring” investment approach, that generates “interesting” results and avoid any “excitement” what so ever.

 

Wish you a very happy new year!!!
