In this report, we look at the hits and misses of our Prime Stock calls this year and what we will do to add more value next year.

In this report, we look at the hits and misses of our Prime Stock calls this year and what we will do to add more value next year.

There are three reasons why we think investors may be better off looking at other opportunities at present.

Prime Portfolios are a set of 19 unique portfolios that meet over 30 different investor timeframes and needs. Prime Portfolios are listed under Ready-to-use-portfolios in the Recommendations dropdown. These portfolios primarily use mutual funds, but where there are better-suited products such as deposits or government schemes, the portfolios include those as well.

Prime Funds narrows the choice of the thousands of funds out there in the market into a list of 50-60 funds that you can pick from to invest. This quarter we have made some additions to gain from the renewed strength that the equity market is exhibiting, the recession fears in the US notwithstanding. There are some additions in the debt space as well, as yields moved up.
We are now moving the stock to a ‘hold’. That means it will no longer be in our buy list. This means you need not take further exposure to the stock. Do not sell it. Simply hold it. We will let you know if it is time to exit.

Recent regulatory developments have prompted us to issue a SELL call on this Prime Stock.

In this quarter’s review, we have made some changes to Prime Portfolios to replace underperforming funds with newer ones. We have explained whether you need to exit or hold the funds we have removed.

We have only a few changes this quarter with some interesting additions in the equity aggressive category and in debt as well. We have also added a couple of themed funds to capture a visible up trend in the economic activity.

The PrimeInvestor Auto++ smallcase puts together auto companies, auto component players, and other diversified companies that are involved in the design and technology transformations unfolding in the industry.

When bond yields started their upward move this year, we started giving calls on G-Secs and SDLs auctioned on the RBI Retail Direct portal. We have one more such call today for those looking for regular income flow for the next 4.5 years.

India’s market interest rates have been rising very swiftly after the recent mid-cycle rate hike by the RBI. In our earlier analysis we had highlighted that bonds issued by the Central and State governments should now be your first choice as and when primary auctions crop up, as they offer the best combination of low risks with high yields currently.

About 10 days ago, we alerted you about the upcoming opportunities you will have in the bond market as we move up the rate cycle. Today, we are recommending 2 government securities (G-secs) that are out as auction in the RBI Retail Direct portal. You might want to check if your brokerage has the option to buy these.
