Macaulay

Duration

Macaulay Duration (Duration) measures the price volatility of fixed income securities. It is often used in the comparison of interest rate risk

between securities with different coupons and different maturities. It is defined as the weighted average time to cash flows of a bond where

the weights are nothing but the present value of the cash flows themselves. It is expressed in years. The duration of a fixed income security is

always shorter than its term to maturity, except in the case of zero coupon securities where they are the same.

Allocation to AAA & Equivalent Securties

Disciplined Credit Process with Prudent Liquidity Management

• Focus on Safety Liquidity & Returns (SLR) has helped schemes in managing liquidity when faced with elevated redemption

pressures.

• Emphasis on Four C’s of Credit

Character of Management (e.g. avoided exposure to a large distressed housing finance company)

Capacity to Pay (e.g. avoided exposure to a large distressed infrastructure company)

Collateral pledged to secure debt (e.g. recovered large portion of investment backed by shares of large media company)

Covenants of debt (e.g. recovered investment from a MFI player due to covenants)

• Risk Control achieved through conservative sizing of exposure based on proprietary Credit Scoring Model which factors in –

Parentage, Financials, Rating & Outlook.

• Over last decade, in our assessment, MFs have experienced instances of creditstress* in nearly 20 companies / Groups.

• HDFC MF was not exposed to most such stressed cases (Highlighted in Red)

• Even is cases where HDFC MF had exposure, we recovered major portion of ourinvestment due to Covenants, good business/Collateral and parentage (Highlighted inGreen)

• Overall credit costs have been minimal for HDFC MF (Stressed exposures at ~1.2% ofAUM of affected schemes as on 30th September 2020)

$ Principal exposure to IL&FS SPV and Simplex Infrastructure at time of credit stress was ~Rs. 358 cr. After the 50% haircut, the market value of these exposure is currently at ~Rs. 179 cr. As

of Sept’20, market value of exposure to Sadbhav Group ~Rs. 204 cr, Thus, total market value of stressed exposure is ~Rs. 384 cr or ~1.2% of total AUM of affected schemes. *Stress is

defined as companies whose ratings were eventually downgrade to BBB or below rating category

Interest Rate Outlook

Factors supporting lower yields

• RBI and major Central banks likely to continue with

accommodative stance and low rates

• Uncertainty over global growth outlook remains due to

disruption and risk of second wave of infections

• Commodity prices likely to be range bound given the weak

growth outlook in near term

• Unconventional tools used by RBI to improve transmission of

rate cuts (Operation TWIST, LTROs, Targeted LTROs,

increasing HTM limit, OMOs for State Development Loans,

etc.)

• Muted credit growth vs. deposit growth; Ample global and

domestic liquidity

Factors opposing lower yields

• Large supply of dated securities by Central and State

Governments

• Excess SLR securities holding of PSU banks

• Near term inflation likely to remain above RBI’s target

of 4%

• Economic activity showing sign of recovery and likely

to improve sequentially

Schemes with short to medium duration offers better risk adjusted returns, in our judgement

Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future. The above returns are of Regular Plan – Growth Option. Load is not taken into consideration for computation ofperformance. On account of difference in the type of the Scheme, asset allocation, investment strategy, inception dates, the performance of these schemes is strictly not comparable.Performance of close-ended schemes is not strictly comparable with that of open-ended schemes since the investment strategy for close-ended schemes is primarily buy-and-holdwhereas open-ended schemes are actively managed. Top 3 and bottom 3 schemes managed by the Fund Manager have been derived on the basis of returns since inception vis-à-visthe benchmark.
