1:30 pm Big bull: The Indian stock market has corrected
enough over the past few weeks and the thesis remains that local equities are
in a sustainable long-term run, as compared to countries like China where
shares have seen a ‘poor quality’ rally.
That’s the view of Samir Arora of Singapore-based Helios Capital, who has
upped the net exposure of his long-short hedge fund by 5-7 percent. (Arora’s
current net long exposure is not known but in February this year, he said his
position then stood at 63-64 percent.)
“As opposed to 2014, which was a long-only year, we expect this year to be
long-short,” he said, while maintaining that investors should expect 12-15-18
percent kind of returns from stocks this year.
On the issue that has had investors the most worried, Arora said that even
if earnings were muted in the current fiscal year (at about 10-12 percent
growth), they will likely make up for it in the following year and that on a
2016-17 basis, shares were priced at a reasonable 16-17 times earnings.

against the American currency in late morning trade on sustained bouts of
month-end dollar demand from banks and importers amid weak equities.
The dollar was lower against its major rivals in early trade over the doubts
about the strength of the US economic recovery. For more information please
