Dark Clouds, Strong Silver Linings: What Trump’s Tariff actions mean for your Investments by Pratik Bagaria

Highlights

  • Trump’s tariffs – A major event in geopolitics and world trade
  • The impact on India
  • What are the silver linings for India?
  • Dezerv’s viewpoint
  • What actions are we taking at Dezerv in our strategies?
  • What should investors looking to deploy fresh capital do?

Synopsis/Summary
Trump’s tariff threats may cast short-term shadows, but there are strong silver linings for long-term investors, especially in India.

  • Trump’s proposed tariffs are aimed at balancing U.S. trade deficits via reciprocal duties.
  • Near-term volatility is expected across global markets, especially in US-export-heavy
    sectors.
  • Our view: Indian equities depend heavily on domestic consumption and capex, hence may see lower volatility. Interest rates are likely to decline. Gold may continue to be a safe – haven for investors.

Existing investors:
In our flagship Dezerv Equity Revival Strategy, we are overweight on large caps and prefer funds that focus on high quality businesses. We prefer active funds
over index funds. In Dezerv Dynamic Debt Plus Strategy, we continue to pick well-researched bonds at attractive yields.

For new deployment:

  • For equity allocations: deploy 55% upfront, stagger the rest over 3 months. Recommended strategy  Dezerv Equity Revival Strategy
  • For fixed income: deploy capital immediately. Recommended strategy — Dezerv Dynamic Debt Plus Strategy
  • For gold: deploy capital immediately and allocate 5%. Recommended strategy — Dezerv Currency Hedge Strategy
