India - Rising star among emerging markets
The India Growth Story has been appealing to the world. India is the rising star among emerging markets. India’s GDP is growing at a healthy growth rate and its per capita income is also growing by leaps and bounds, thus putting, more money in the hands of the Indian Investors. It is expected that India’s GDP growth rate may surpass that of China in the near future.

 
In the last few years, there has been an exponential increase in the investments made by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in the Indian markets as compared to China and other emerging markets.

Since January 2008, even though India’s nominal GDP has grown by around 30% and earning yields are currently 40% higher, the Sensex is still at similar levels. This indicates that there is more room for growth. The average Indian Investors, would certainly like to participate in the India growth story. The question most often asked is"HOW?"
 
The answer to this lies in a combination of three key factors, namely :
  • Large Caps
    Large Caps are regarded as a proxy of the India Growth Story. Yet, many of the Indian large caps are still quite small as compared to their counterparts in other emerging markets. With growing economy and increasing globalization, Indian large caps have enough room for growth. As of 30th June, 2010 more than 70% of the FII investments in India have been into large caps. Large Cap stocks account for more than 75% of BSE’s market capitalization.
  • Sector Rotation
    The key to making money consistently is picking the right sectors. Right sector selection decides whether you make or lose big money. Historically, Indian equity markets have supported the relevance of sector selection.
  • Special Situations
    The icing on the cake comes from identifying companies which have great value-unlocking potential.

Presenting Pramerica Equity Fund, a fund that will give you the advantage of all three factors and help your wealth grow as India grows!
