India Capital Growth Fund Limited (the 'Company')
29 February 2008
Net Asset Values
The Company announces its net asset values per share as at 29 February 2008:
Net asset value per share - undiluted 121.29 p
Net asset value per share - fully diluted 117.74 p
Progress Update
Undiluted NAV decreased by 6.3% in the month, of which 1.2% was accounted for by an adverse exchange rate movement
between the Rupee and the Pound Sterling.
During the month the large cap BSE Sensex was marginally down, by 0.4%, while BSE mid and small cap indices fell 1.1%
and 4.9% respectively. This is consistent with the greater volatility seen in the smaller cap segment of the market
over the last two years. However, stocks in the portfolio showed exceptional volatility during the month, with
movements significantly greater than the indices, both upwards and downwards. During the month, FIIs bought a net
US$430 Mn worth of Indian equities, but this did not stem the downward pressure on the stock market.
The Union Budget presented on 29 February was devoid of major reforms and although a General Election may come sooner
rather than later, there is no sign that a change of government would bring significant change in the direction of the
Indian economy. Corporate health remains sound, as the December quarterly results demonstrated.
During the month, the Company exited one mid-cap holding at a substantial profit and the proceeds reinvested elsewhere.
The Company had a net cash position of GBP 6.2 Mn as at 29 February 2008.
