India’s future growth

We believe India’s future growth will be driven through three major secular growth trends:

Multi-year growth opportunity

Multi-year growth opportunity

India is one of the strongest growing economies in Asia, driven by digital transformation, robust consumption and expanding exports.

Strong demand outpacing supply in manufacturing and consumer discretionary sectors is resulting in improving pricing power and stronger earnings growth, supporting equity market valuations.

Over the last decade, Indian corporations managed their balance sheets well. This will help them to capitalise on expected demand led growth that is underpinned by the country’s rising middle class.

FAQs

Favourable Market environment:

India benefits from a big global reset with dynamics shifting from China to India.

Reforms and initiatives benefitting local businesses:
India’s government-initiated improvements in the country’s infrastructure, reforms around corporate taxes and manufacturing, and the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets should bode well for corporate India’s growth prospects.

Favourable demographics:
The share of India’s working age population to total population is projected to reach its highest level by 2030.

India’s economic growth stands out on the global stage. We currently see opportunities specifically in three secular growth trends which are (1) financial transformation, (2) consumption explosion and (3) manufacturing renaissance. 

SFDR is the acronym for Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and its main purpose is to reorientate capital towards more sustainable businesses and increase transparency on sustainability among financial institutions and market participants.

The SFDR article 8 classification applies to funds promoting environmental and social objectives and which take more into account than just sustainability risks as required by article 6.
