The markets posted strong gains this week on the back of retail and foreign investor inflows, progress in US-China trade talks and deal being reached on Brexit. Sensex rose 3.1% and Nifty rose 3.2% this week amid sustained buying across sectors. This again highlighted how difficult it is to predict short term movements of the marker. Speculators who were wondering why the market fell recently, are now wondering why it is up this week. Given this backdrop, we would reiterate to stick to your asset allocation and to continue investing as per your plan.
At least a few data points coming out of AMFI supports that retail investors are sticking to their investment plan. The SIP contribution has increased to Rs 49,361 crore in the first six months of this financial year, up 11% from the previous year. Additionally, retail investors are holding investments longer than High Networth Investors and Foreign Institutional Investors. As of June 2019, 46% of retail assets were owned for more than 2 years compared to 30% of HNI assets.
Reliance Capital has delayed the payment of interest/principal obligations for two non-convertible debentures (NCD), as per its filing with the exchange. The delay in payment supersedes the ratings downgrade by CARE in September when the company’s entire outstanding debt was downgraded to default CARE D rating.
SEBI has accepted AMFI’s graded exit load recommendations for redemptions in liquid funds. AMCs would hereon charge 0.0070%, 0.0065%, 0.0060%, 0.0055%, 0.0050% and 0.0045% exit load respectively for redemptions from liquid funds within one to six days of investment.This move is in line with the objective of lowering the volatility in liquid funds.
