Case For Investing In Reliance Banking & PSU Debt Fund

FY16 : Rate Cut + Liquidity = Bull Steepening

Expectations on Rate Cut : Visibility of 50 Bps rate cut in FY16, in a gradual manner

Factors determining RBI’s action on rate cuts:

Continuing disinflationary pressure (Maintaining Real Rates of 1.5% – 2%):

CPI inflation expected to be ~5% - 5.5% in FY16

Easing oil and commodity prices

Lower MSP and rural wage growth

Supply side management by both government and RBI

High quality Fiscal Consolidation (A realistic 3.9% Vs an Expected 3.6%)

May be achieved with no expenditure cuts & without compromising on growth

FY16 borrowings – favourable for demand supply dynamics

Decrease in subsidies from 2.1% in FY15 to 1.7% in FY16

Revenue targets seems realistic even at current growth rate

Transmission of Policy Rates

Banks are expected to pass on the benefit of the previous rate cuts in January & March 2015 into their

lending ratesCommon Source: Bloomberg, RCAM Research

FY16 : Rate Cut + Liquidity = Bull Steepening

Favorable Liquidity Conditions: The Return Catalyst For FY16

Factors determining comfortable liquidity conditions:

Core Liquidity to further improve :

Robust Forex Flows: India placed better in the emerging market space

Improvement in Credit Environment:

Lower inflation and rate expectations may lead to higher credit growth

Also increase mobilization of deposit due to credit growth is expected to increase money supply

Stabilization in Currency circulation : Due to fiscal discipline & benign inflation expectations

Lower Inflation: Positive Real Rates may lead to Higher financial savings

Micro management of liquidity by RBI in proactive & consistent manner : For effective

transmission of rate cuts in real economy

Bottom-line Adequate liquidity in the system + further rate cuts + Better transmission of policy rates

May Result In Shorter end of the yield curve to correct downwards due to better liquidity conditions & longer end of

the curve to stay supported on account of gradual rate cutsCommon Source: Bloomberg, RCAM Research

FY16 : May Be The Year Of Easy Liquidity Conditions

In the past, it has been witnessed that years wherein system liquidity is ample and demand for lower durationassets increases, the yield curve has shown the characteristics of steepening

The below charts of FY05 and FY10 shows clear trend of steepening of the curve:

FY16 : A Strong Case For Curve Steepener

We expect FY16 to be the year wherein

adequate system liquidity along with

gradual rate cuts would result in a steeper

yield curve, when compared to last 3 years

of tight liquidity conditions
