 What we need to be able to do with the risk of a financial crisis in a country is a fairly large and diversified capital market that offers a portfolio manager the ability to diversify the portfolio even in just a single country. Since the Japanese and Chinese economies grew and new industries blossomed, we thought that test was met. We now feel that the Indian economy and capital markets also meet our test. With this matter, we are adding India to our list of funds: Matthews India, WisdomTree India Earnings (ETF) and PowerShares India (ETF). We might add one or two other funds to the list of the following few issues.

 
Why India? ... Asia Dynamics Powering Growth, China and India. Coupling the two served its purpose, but we now believe the two are dealing with separate identities. As we have been listening to and reading about yesteryear 4 or 5 months, we have come to the conclusion that China and India are going to be overpowering the months ahead. Both will soon be growing rapidly (China) while the other is worried about too rapid growth (China).
 
To get things done, and to get a better feel for the Indian economy and the capital market, we spoke to Sharat Shroff, the portfolio manager of the Matthews India Fund. The very first point that Shroff is doing for a few days ahead of India may be a lot better than it has been in the last 2-3 years. " For some historical perspective, Shroff noted that the growth of the economy has been adopted by the federal government in the first 90's. Since then, we have moved closer to growth. By 1995, India's growth hit the high single-digit range and remained there (on average). Such growth is now taken while the benchmark.
 
Shroff emphasized the fact that it is important that it originates from domestic demand, not from exports or commodities. There is no large-scale overhaul that India must undergo, he remarked. What Shroff is going to be in the post-recession world China's trade surpluses and the US will be unsustainable. India faces no such issues.
 
The second point advanced by Shroff is that the private sector accounts for roughly 80% of India's growth. The significance of that is that we are talking about businesses that are oriented towards profits and return on capital. This is simply not the case elsewhere in Asia. Because of the conditions, India offers the investor a chance to invest in top quality companies with solid business models.
 
As for Matthews India, Shroff said that the fund does indeed not spend money on the wide cap, world-renowned companies (the Indian blue chips). As Shroff put it, if you compare our portfolio with the benchmark, you'll notice that two-thirds of our portfolio is comprised of small- and mid-cap stocks. We act as much more forward-looking. What are the funds that are "growing in the country and growing the potential of two, three or even five years from now."
 
The Indian market ... We asked Mr. Shroff, what index should we keep an eye on the Indian market. He answered that the Sensex is the standard index followed. But in recent times, the professional community pays more attention to the S & P CNX Nifty Index.
 
As for valuations, the Indian market, says Shroff, is selling at a price-earnings ratio around 15-16 times and at about 3 times book value. This is the above-mentioned historical average valuations. Also Shroff remarked that the Indian market has traditionally been expensive compared to its emerging market peers. The premium has only 15% to as high as 45%. Right now he puts the premium at the lower end of the range.
 
There is some justification for the premium, he added. The return on equity for Indian firms is 18-20% range, which, he uses it, "is fairly robust." Another reason refers back to the interior sources of India's growth so you get less volatility than you do from the "commodity producer."
 
That's not to say that the Indian market is not volatile. "Even though the economy may be dying to its tune," Shroff warned, "When foreigners were taking out money from all emerging markets in 2008, the Indian market went through a very severe correction. (In fact) in the last 3 or 4 years the Indian market shows some correlation with the S & P 500. " (We are looking for a new way of life)
 
Shroff looked at the problem of volatility more than once. He was preaching to the converted. We're restricting our advice regarding Indian funds to Venturesome investors only. This is actually the same policy as China fund. The policy is not written in stone, but the world economy would be functioning closer to normal before we'd consider any relaxation.
