“Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful”- Warren Buffet

The ability to make level-headed decisions when the rest of the market is panicking is what separates the winners from the losers in the market. The current market correction is giving long term equity investors an opportunity to increase their exposure in equity market.

Reasons to invest in equity market now:

In the wake of every deep crisis, great companies in the affected industries gain massive market shares from competitors who get crippled by the crisis. This is exactly how it has played out so far. The FY 22 reported fundamentals of our CCP portfolio companies were strong both at the revenue level (25% YoY growth) as well at the profit level (29% YoY growth).

Few examples of the recent events which has led to sharp correction in equity market and some quality companies:

1. Increase in competitive landscape– News of Grasim entering into paint industry or news of TATA1MG aggressive pricing has resulted in sharp correction in prices of Asian Paints/Berger and Dr. Lal Pathlabs respectively. We believe the steep price corrections is unwarranted and gives an opportunity to investors to invest in quality(For more details please watch our webinar—India’s moment after a decade of structural reforms:https://www.youtube.com/embed/rQIlxesJJP4)
2. Increase in input costs due to inflation & commodity cycle– Market punishes companies whose margins might come under pressure (despite it being temporary) due to increase in raw material For long term investors it is a great opportunity to build position in the quality stocks.The highlighted fee clause needs to be typed word to word. If there is any word mis-spelt or missed out, the system will not allow client to moveEliminate discrepancies with quick deployment of fundsReduction in back and forth of client documents and

Better client experienceinterest rate hardening and cost of capital going up – Worldwide central banks are increasing interest rates which is resulting in cost of capital going up and FIIs pulling out capital from emerging These are great times for companies which have strong balance sheet and generate free cash flow to gain additional market share. Investors should use this opportunity to build position in strong companies driven by strong fundamentals.

Marcellus CCP company’s fundamentals continues to grow, as discussed in our monthly newsletter titled: Acceleration in growth rates of CCP companies’ fundamentals. We continue to believe that market will rewards companies who compound their revenue,earnings and free cash flow & maintain their capital allocation discipline.

As Warren Buffet says—Bad news is an investor’s best friend!!Hence do not wait for the economy to turn to start buying. The current market is letting you buy a slice of India’s future at a marked down price.
