Weekly Mutual Fund and Debt Report

RETAIL RESEARCH
Equity Markets
Indias benchmark equity index Sensex declined 3.5% last week, posting its worst weekly fall in nearly
four-and-a-half months, hurt by the ongoing tax row between foreign investors and the government.
Dismal corporate earnings and a likely sub-par monsoon added to investors woes. NSEs CNX Nifty closed
at 8,305, down 301 points or 3.5%.
Broader market depicted weakness. The BSE Mid-Cap index fell 336.13 points or 3.12% to settle at
10,435.64. The decline in the index was lower than Sensex's decline in percentage terms. The BSE SmallCap index slumped 613.61 points or 5.27% to settle at 11,008.62. The decline in the index was higher than
Sensex's decline in percentage terms.

Outlook for the current weeks

The next batch of Q4 March 2015 corporate results and key global central bank meetings will dictate
trend on the bourses next week. Indian stocks may remain volatile as traders roll over positions in the
futures & options segment from the near month April 2015 series to May 2015 series. The near month
April 2015 F&O contracts expire on Thursday, 30 April 2015.
This week is a truncated trading week as India's financial markets are closed on Friday, 1 May 2015, on
account of Maharashtra Day.
A number of prominent companies are scheduled to announce their results for the quarter ended 31
March 2015 next week, which include the likes of Maruti Suzuki, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel, Idea, HDFC, Axis
Bank, Ambuja Cement and Grasim Industries.
Technically, with the Nifty correcting further, traders will need to watch if the Nifty can now hold above
the supports of 8273; else a further correction is likely.

Global Markets
U.S. stocks ended the week with solid gains as better-than-expected earnings propelled the Nasdaq
Composite and S&P 500 to finish at all-time highs. The Nasdaq Composite advanced for five straight
sessions, posting the biggest weekly gain since October 2014. The tech-heavy index gained 3.3% over the
week. The S&P 500 index recorded a 1.8% gain over the week. Dow Jones gained 1.4% over the week.

Scheme Analysis - Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity Fund - G

RETAIL RESEARCH

Key Points

Unit Growth of investments Vs. Benchmark(Rebased to 100)

Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity is a better performing scheme from Equity Diversified Large cap category. The
scheme has managed to deliver notable returns over periods thanks to its ability to mitigate risk with blue
chip oriented stocks from the universe of BSE 200.
The scheme registered +35%, +25% and +14% of compounded returns for the one, three and five year
periods while the benchmark posted +23%, +17% and +9% of returns respectively. Over the same period,
the category clocked +34%, +25% and +14% of CAGR returns respectively. The large-cap orientation
prevented the scheme to benefit from rallies led by mid-cap stocks, but helped to withstand the corrections
efficiently during the market downturns. The scheme has been maintaining an average of 98% of assets into
blue chip stocks considering last one-year period.
The fund manager follows buy and hold strategy as close to 70% of the portfolio is the core which are kept
over longer term. The scheme tries to follow the same sector weights as the index of BSE 200 and try to get
all the advantage by having a different stock selection within those sectors.
The portfolio has been churned moderately in last six month periods as the scheme added 10 new stocks
and exited from 6. That reflects in the turnover ratio which has been at 33%.
Fund Performance Vis-a-vis Benchmark (Excess return):

HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank are the stocks topped in its latest portfolio having weights of
6.30%, 5.00% and 4.44% to its net assets respectively. The expense ratio of 2.21% for the scheme is lower
compared to the category (the category average has been at 2.61%).
Rating agencies like Value research &Crisil assigned 4 star and CPR 2 respectively for the scheme. These
reflect good performance of the scheme on generating high-risk adjusted returns.
The scheme is managed by Mr. Mahesh Patil. The corpus of the scheme as per latest data was at Rs. 8,957
crore.
As far as risk measures are concerned, the scheme has done well in terms of Sharpe and Jensons Alpha. It
registered Sharpe of 0.13% (category 0.10%) and Alpha of 0.05% (category 0.04%).
The scheme seems to be less risky inthe category as it generated 0.88% (category 0.92%) of Standard
Deviation over the last one-year.

Federal Reserve begins raising interest rates. Moodys has a Baa3 rating for India, with a positive outlook.
India is expected to see a 6 per cent growth in its steel demand during 2015, while the global demand is likely to remain at 2 per cent. Higher demand is likely to come from India, with forecast
growth of 6 per cent in 2015 compared to 1.8 per cent in 2013, PwC said in a report. It further said overall, the world steel demand growth is expected to remain around 2 per cent in 2014 and
2015, down from 3.8 per cent in 2013.
India's foreign exchange reserves rose by $2.8 billion in the week to April 17 to $343.2 billion, creating a new record. Reserve Bank of India has added close to $24 billion in the reserves kitty
since January as overseas investors poured in dollars in local markets with the Narendra Modi government backing investment and clearing stalled projects. The rise in reserves in the week
under review coincided with rating company Moody's decision to revise India's 'Baa3' rating out.

49.6 in March.
The manufacturing sector in Japan slid to contraction in April, the latest survey from Markit Economics revealed, with a PMI score of 49.7. It's down from 50.3 in March. It also slips beneath

Japan has recorded its first trade surplus in three years after the weaker yen boosted exports and cheaper oil prices lowered its import bill. The trade balance came in at 229.3bn yen ($1.9bn;

The FHFA House Price Index for February came in at 0.70 percent and was in line with the consensus estimates. The print was also above the prior reading of 0.30 percent.
Sales of previously owned homes rose to the highest level in 18 months in March, a sign the housing market is gaining strength after a slow start to the year. Existing-home sales increased

Markits US Manufacturing PMI plunged to 54.2 in April (from 55.7).

11.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 481,000. This marks a swift reversal from an annual sales pace of 543,000 in February, which had been the strongest
performance in seven years.

includes both refinancing and home purchase demand, rose 2.3 percent in the week ended April 17.
Purchases of long-lasting manufactured goods in March jumped by the largest amount in eight months, but a closer look at the details reveals that businesses kept pruning their investment
plans in the face of a softening U.S. economy.
