Progress Update
NAV was up 7.0% on the month. July was a month of volatile equity markets across
the globe; all major markets suffered a sell-off triggered by sub-prime
mortgages in US. Despite this, Indian equity markets reached new highs in July,
backed up by strong FII inflows, with the BSE Sensex rising 6.1% in the month
and the BSE Small Cap Index rising by 4.4%. From the Company's perspective this
rise was partially offset by a depreciation of 0.5% of the Rupee against
Sterling.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased the cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 50 bps
to 7.00% even though annual inflation the rate remained between 4% and 4.5%.
The RBI raised the CRR to reduce what it perceived as excess liquidity in the
system.
There were no major changes in the portfolio composition during the month, with
a continuance of the strategy of focus on the core companies with some
disposals of non-core holdings. As at 31 July 2007, the Company was 96.1%
invested, with 3.9% in cash and other current assets less current liabilities,
mainly in sterling.
