"Despite short-term domestic slowdowns and global geopolitical tensions, the fund remains committed to Indian equities but is adopting a highly cautious approach by holding 25% cash and pivoting toward larger-cap stocks due to high market valuations."
The Compounding Gems Aravalli Fund's Q2CY25 investor letter highlights a highly volatile quarter marked by geopolitical tensions, including an Indo-Pak border conflict and the ongoing Iran-Israel war. Despite these events, domestic markets showed notable resilience. Globally, markets grappled with uncertainty surrounding US tariff policies under President Trump, though subsequent negotiations eased pressures. OPEC's increased oil production also helped stabilize energy prices. On the domestic front, the Indian economy is facing a slowdown in consumer discretionary spending due to monetary tightening by the RBI and a drop in government spending prior to the elections. However, upcoming catalysts like the US-India trade deal and government-led infrastructure and defense investments are expected to drive growth. Crucially, India's Buffett Factor (market cap-to-GDP) has surpassed 120%, indicating overvaluation, particularly in mid- and small-cap stocks. In response, the Fund is shifting its asset allocation toward larger companies that present superior relative value. Following a corporate governance issue that forced a complete exit of a position at a 50% loss (representing 3% of total assets), the Fund has adopted a cautious stance, holding roughly 25% of its portfolio in cash as a protective buffer while planning gradual deployment over the next one to two quarters.
