India’s inclusion in global bond index to attract $170-250 bn inflows; stock markets may also benefit

India could be included in the global bond index in early 2022, a move that may attract $170-250 billion in bond inflows for the country in the next decade, said Morgan Stanley in a recent note. Investors have been staying away from the Indian bond market in the past few years given the widening fiscal deficit, above-target inflation and gradually weakening currency. However, recent macroeconomic stability could change this in early 2022. India’s inclusion in the global bond index is likely to have profound implications for the economy, FX, bond yields, and equity markets, according to analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Desire for growth
India has shown a significant improvement in macro stability and the government has indicated its desire to push for capex-driven growth which is expected to result in an inclusion in the global bond index, making it the last emerging market to join the group. Although India historically, has had a mixed response toward foreign bond inflows, the same has changed in 2020. “The push for capex-driven growth alongside an improvement in macro stability has set the stage for a calibrated opening up of India’s government debt market,” Morgan Stanley analysts said.

The opening up of bond inflows, in Morgan Stanley’s view, hints at policy-makers’ desire to push growth rates higher through investment. “It will push India’s balance of payments into a structural surplus zone, indirectly create an environment for a lower cost of capital and ultimately be positive for growth,” they said. The consensus expects India to join global bond indices but the timing and implementation remain uncertain. With the floodgates opening for bond inflows, equity market returns could be higher due to the positive impact on growth and interest rates, the global brokerage firm said.

Stock markets to benefit: Financial stocks in focus
“Obviously, equity performance is a function of the growth and interest rate outlook. Equity markets do well when the growth outlook is strong and the rate forecast is benign,” Morgan Stanley analysts wrote. Indian banks are seen to be among the beneficiaries of the expected inflows. “We believe that the opening up of the sovereign bond market and resultant inflows will have multiple implications for the banking sector,” they said. Morgan Stanley analysts believe that over time the inflows will add to the source of growth capital and help to manage interest rates.

Large private banks are expected to benefit the most. Meanwhile, multiples are also expected to benefit. “Lower interest rates coupled with better confidence in growth/profitability is a great outcome for stock multiples. Overall, such a macro backdrop is good for equity prices, as it implies a lower cost of equity and stronger sustainable RoEs,” Morgan Stanley said.

Apart from banks, non-bank lenders are also seen as beneficiaries over the longer run. The opening up of the sovereign bond market and the resultant potential implications like lower longer-term G-Sec yields could result in favourable structural implications for NBFCs and HFCs — namely, higher foreign investor interest in corporate bonds, including NBFCs and HFCs, lower cost of borrowing and higher access to bond funding,” the report highlighted. Key frontline beneficiaries in Morgan Stanley’s view are likely to be Housing Development Finance Corporation, Bajaj Finance, SBI Cards, Mahindra Finance, and Cholamandalam Finance.

Shifting to T+1 cycle may reduce margin requirement, boost investment: Experts

Sebi’s decision to introduce an optional T+1 (Trade plus 1 day) settlement system for the markets could help reduce margin requirement for clients and boost retail investment in equity markets, experts said on Thursday.

T+1 means that settlements will need to be cleared within one day of the actual transactions taking place. Currently, trades on the Indian stock exchanges are settled in two working days after the transaction is done (T+2).

The learnings from this exercise will help in evaluating whether T+1 can work or it is good to continue with T+2 settlement cycle, he added.
Sebi’s decision to introduce an optional T+1 (Trade plus 1 day) settlement system for the markets could help reduce margin requirement for clients and boost retail investment in equity markets, experts said on Thursday.

In a circular on Tuesday, the regulator allowed exchanges to move to the T+1 settlement cycle on an optional basis.
As of now, Sebi has introduced this mechanism on an optional basis, so exchanges will decide whether to implement the T+1 settlement or continue with the T+2 old mechanism. The new mechanism will come into force on January 1, 2022.

Experts said the T+1 settlement system will allow the cycle of money to move faster without waiting for an extra day.
However, Mywealthgrowth.com co-founder Harshad Chetanwala said it is too early to comment on the pros and cons of this move, as exchanges may face some operational issues as there are multiple factors and entities involved in completing the entire settlement cycle.

The learnings from this exercise will help in evaluating whether T+1 can work or it is good to continue with T+2 settlement cycle, he added.

Jaideep Arora, CEO, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, “The new rule of T+1 settlement is a good move on the part of the regulator as it could help reduce margin requirement for clients with their margin being blocked for 1 day, rather than 2 days”.

Additionally, this reduction in time to get investment back to one day would mean more retail investment would come to equity markets, he added.

“The T+1 settlement is a welcome move for all participants in the stock market, as it allows the cycle of money to move faster without waiting for an extra day,” Prateek Singh, Founder and CEO, LearnApp.com, said. Sebi has allowed the exchanges to decide which stocks to allow the T+1 settlement in. This means, it is not mandatory for both the exchanges to follow the T+1 settlement process.

“They have the liberty to choose; but the question is if one exchange chooses to opt for T+1 and the other one doesn’t, then wouldn’t that become a little confusing? Brokers will have to first clearly mention and show whether T+1 is available and then which exchange is allowing it,” Singh said.

“My guess is that for the top most liquid stocks, both exchanges will allow the T+1 settlement because there is no reason not to and the less liquid ones will still have a T+2 going forward,” he added.

Vijay L Bhambwani, head of research Behaviour Technical Analysis, Equitymaster, also welcomed the move.
“It means the banks have managed to put in place a faster clearing system for monetary transfer. This means capital can rotate faster and higher turnover is the single biggest factor in boosting the country’s GDP,” he said.

According to him, so far money was moving lethargically in the financial system. Faster settlements means quicker turnaround time. Both in stock markets and the economy as a whole.

Under the new framework, if the exchanges opt for Trade+1 settlement then, they need to continue this settlement for a minimum of six months. After that, exchanges will have the option to opt for a Trade+2 settlement cycle after giving one month’s notice to the market.

“We believe that this new mechanism of Trade+1 day rolling the settlement will help investors to get the stock or fund the next day of the trade itself so that investors can use shares or funds for further transactions,” Yash Gupta, Equity Research Analyst, Angel Broking, said.

He, further, said this will be good for traders as the settlement will be faster and they can use stock or funds for margins, for long term investors it may not impact them much.

“We believe that this is a positive development for brokerages as this can ease some pressure arising from the application of 100 per cent collection of upfront margin starting September 1, 2021,” he added.

This is not the first time that Sebi has chosen to shorten the settlement cycle. Earlier in 2002, the capital markets regulator had cut the number of days in the settlement cycle from T+5 days to T+3 days, and then in 2003, it reduced to T+2 days.

However, for the past 18 years, exchanges are continuing this T+2 days settlement cycle. Angel Broking’s Gupta said the new mechanism will also impact the auction market as if a seller is not able to deliver stocks on the settlement day, those shares will come in the auction. As of now, auctions are done on T+3 days which will also reduce to T+2 days.

Earlier, brokers association Association of National Exchanges Members of India (Anmi) had raised concerns on issues related to the implementation of the T+1 settlement system.

In its letter to Sebi last month, Anmi, a group of over 900 stockbrokers across the country, had said the T+1 settlement system should not be implemented without addressing operational and technical challenges.
“Shifting to T+1 settlement would make India a pre-funding market and global institutional investors will be faced with multiple issues with this structure,” the brokers’ association had said.

According to Anmi, global investors appreciate the economic efficiency of being able to fund settlement obligations for purchase transactions in one market with sales proceeds from another.

Sebi asks AMCs to invest in schemes based on risk; quantify the minimum amount to be invested

Markets regulator Sebi on Friday asked asset management companies (AMCs) to invest in the range of 0.03 to 0.13 percentage of the asset base in their own schemes in a bid to align the interest of the fund houses with investors. The percentage that needs to be invested depends on the risk level of the scheme, which has been categorized into low, low to moderate, moderate, moderately high, high and very high. The new framework is aimed at aligning the interest of asset management companies (AMCs) with the unitholders of the mutual fund schemes.

The regulator on August 5 amended mutual fund rules, requiring fund houses to invest in their own schemes depending on the risk level to ensure ‘skin in the game’. The new rules will come into force on the 270th day from the date of notification. Accordingly, it was decided that based on the risk value assigned to the scheme, AMCs will invest minimum amount as a percentage of assets under management (AUM) in their schemes. However, the regulator did not quantify the minimum amount that needs to be invested by the fund houses that time.

In a circular on Friday, Sebi said in case of scheme which comes under the low risk category, an AMC will have to invest a minimum of 0.03 percentage of the AUM in the scheme, while those under low to moderate category, 0.05 percentage of the asset base needs to be invested. Further, in case of scheme which has been assigned moderate risk, 0.07 percentage of the AUM needs to be invested in the scheme, while the same for moderately high will be 0.09 percentage, 0.11 percentage for high and 0.13 percentage of the asset base for very high risk.

The risk value of the scheme as per the risk-o-meter of the immediate preceding month will be considered. The investment will have to be maintained at all points of time till the completion of tenure of the scheme or till the scheme is wound up.

“AMCs shall, except in case of close ended scheme(s), conduct a quarterly review to ensure compliance with the requirement of investment of minimum amount in the scheme(s) which may change either due to change in value of the AUM or in the risk value assigned to the scheme,” Sebi said.

Further, based on review of quarterly average AUM, shortfall in value of the investment in schemes, if any, need to be made good within 7 days of such review. The regulator said that AMCs will have the option to withdraw any excess investment than what is required pursuant to such review. AMCs may invest from their net worth or the sponsor may fund the AMC to fulfil the obligations, if required. “However, the AMCs will be required to make good the shortfall in the minimum networth to comply with the requirement of the MF Regulations in case of sustenance of temporary mark to market loss for two consecutive quarters,” Sebi said. It, further, said that AMCs will have to ensure that such temporariness of the mark to market loss is certified by the statutory auditor.

AMCs will not be required to invest in ETFs, Index Funds, Overnight Funds, Funds of Funds schemes and in case of close ended funds wherein the subscription period has closed as on date of coming into force of amended MF rules. The mandatory contribution already made by the AMCs in compliance with the applicable MF rules will not be withdrawn. However, such contribution can be adjusted against the investment required by the AMC.

The compliance of the provisions of this circular will be ensured by the AMCs and monitored by the trustees. Any non-compliance in this regard, will be reported in the quarterly compliance test report and half-yearly trustee report. Details of investment by AMCs in each of their mutual fund schemes will have to be disclosed on the website of AMCs and industry body AMFI.
