What’s dragging the Markets down? by Pratik Bagaria

  • Factors contributing to the recent market correction

  • Recommendations for investors with existing equity exposure
  • Advice for investors with fixed-income investments

Synopsis/Summary

  • The Indian equity market experienced its worst monthly decline in over 30 months in October due to slower company earnings, increased equity supply from IPOs and FII selling, and geopolitical tensions.
  • Despite short-term volatility, India’s macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong.
  • Dezerv recommends a cautious investment strategy: deploying 25% of fresh capital immediately and staggering the rest over four months. For existing equity holdings managed by Dezerv, they’ve reduced exposure to riskier segments.
  • Fixed-income investments managed by Dezerv should be held until maturity. They will monitor and advise clients with funds in liquid or arbitrage strategies for potential deployment opportunities.
