The India 2030 Fund is an unregistered unit trust, which invests with high conviction in 15-20 listed companies trading on  Indian stock exchanges. The Fund aims to outperform its benchmark in AUD terms, after fees and over rolling 5 - 7 year periods.

 

The India 2030 Fund is managed by the team at IAIM. Stock selection and conviction level advice comes from our investment partner, Old Bridge Capital Management, based in Mumbai, India with a team of eight investment professionals.

 

This fund seeks to invest in themes that are closer to their cyclical low in ROE, which makes it difficult for them to find  liquidity support in the market. The subsequent improvement in ROE leads to consensus led investment, resulting in an improvement in liquidity.

 

The Fund adopts a high conviction approach by investing in companies in India spread across 3-5 investment themes which can benefit over the course of the current decade.


The Fund is appropriate for High Net Worth investors seeking to benefit from investment themes which are leveraged to India growth story.

The focus of the fund is to monetise the success of India’s expected transition over the decade, by targeting sectors which will have structural tailwinds, supported by robust earnings growth and reasonable valuations. Typically, investors are lured by companies at the peak of their cycle. However, these companies trade at valuation multiples which tend to reflect historical growth in perpetuity.

 

Themes

Drivers

Urban Consumption

  • Businesses aligned to wage increases in the Tech & financial services economy.
  • New business models have evolved, and the resumption of the economy will lead to spikes in cash flow of the survivors, which will contribute to their dominance of certain segments.

Digitisation, Energy Related and Capex

  • Plays into several segments, with the biggest driver for these businesses being social distancing.
  • Profitable segment to be in, valuations are expensive, but virtually all these companies are in a hyper growth environment.
  • Backward value chain, as above businesses will continue to be extremely energy intensive.
  • The reforms and incremental capex coming through in alternative energy will see utilities transitioning their way forward.

B2B, External Facing and  Commodities

  • To feed into the global supply chain, as the world’s largest manufacturer runs into multiple headwinds.
  • Tap niche manufacturing segments in India that have established global cost leadership.
  • Valuations and business models in this space have been overlooked, as historically these have been non-performers.

 

Agri Inputs and Related Industries

  • Inflation in agricultural products
  • Valuations remain fair and companies’ profitability are at all-time high.

The Fund will invest in a portfolio of stocks of Indian companies either listed on stock exchanges in India or any other recognised global stock exchange.

 

The Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalent instruments like short term money market securities as well as exchange derivatives for hedging purposes.

 

Asset Limits:

  • Indian Listed Equities 70-100%

About India Avenue India Avenue Investment Management (IAIM) is a boutique investment company focused on providing investment solutions for clients in Australia and New Zealand who seek exposure to India’s growth potential through its capital markets.

 

The India Avenue Equity Fund is managed by the team at IAIM. The Fund has a bias towards companies which are experiencing strong growth driven by India’s fundamentals. The Indian economy’s robust ecosystem provides a tailwind for these companies which benefit from participating in growing addressable markets. 

 

Additionally, if they have sound management and a strong business moat, it makes a compelling case for long-term investment.

 

At India Avenue Investment Management, our philosophy is built on two key tenets which is embedded into the portfolio construction of the India Avenue Equity Fund:

 

  1. India’s growth will be high relative to other countries in the world given its favourable fundamentals. This will create significant compounding investment opportunities operating within its ecosystem; and
  2. Investing in India’s equity markets provide a significant opportunity to generate long-term outperformance of historical looking market-capitalisation based benchmarks.

 

Whilst large capitalisation stocks of India are some of the most researched companies in the world (given local and foreign broker research operating in the markets), companies outside the Top-100 (by market capitalisation) are largely undiscovered and can emerge to be significant players in their industry given India’s fundamental tailwinds.

 

Early discovery of companies with strong potential to grow earnings in a sustainably compounded manner allows investors in Australia and New Zealand to benefit from the true growth story of India.

 

It is important to invest not only in India’s already established and robust businesses, but also in its emerging companies that grow their earnings at a much faster pace than GDP growth, until they approach a more mature profile.
