  • Is the rise of AIFs the barometer of rising revenue inequality in India?

    An AIF is a privately pooled funding automobile with a minimal funding quantity requirement of ₹1 crore (it’s ₹25 lakh for a enterprise capital fund) that gives entry to unconventional asset lessons reminiscent of personal fairness, pre-IPO funds, hedge funds or easy funds claiming to have larger alpha-generating capabilities. These funds come below the purview of the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (Sebi) AIF laws.

    Overview of AIF business

    Around 56% of the 881 AIFs, as of March 2022, had been registered with Sebi within the final 4 years, as per Crisil. “Awareness concerning the AIF funding product has elevated manifold in the previous couple of years. One large driver for that was the Franklin Templeton’s debt fund disaster (when the AMC shut down a number of debt funds in 2020 on account of sudden redemption strain), which resulted in credit score changing into a part of the AIF territory. The second large contributor has been the low-interest charge regime throughout the globe, which resulted in funds channelling to alternates looking for larger yield,” said Vineet Sukumar, founder and managing director at Vivriti Group.

    The phenomenal growth in the AIF industry, which is accessible only to high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs) with a minimum ticket size of ₹1 crore in most cases, brings into question if it is an indicator of growing income inequality in the country.

    To put this in perspective, the retail investors’ favourite, the mutual fund industry, grew by about 16% CAGR in the said period.

    Of course, the low base of the AIF industry makes the growth figures look optically elevated. The assets under management (AUM) of mutual funds and the AIF industry stood at ₹38.4 trillion and ₹6.4 trillion, respectively, as of FY 22 (see table).

    Category II AIF space attracted significant interest with a lion’s share of capital allocated to this segment that includes private equity funds, real estate funds and debt funds. This category is said to offer the maximum level of customization and innovation in the alternates space that HNIs and UHNIs have been looking for.

    For the uninitiated, an AIF comes in three different categories. Category I funds invest in startups or early-stage ventures. Category III funds such as hedge funds employ diverse or complex trading strategies for investment in listed or unlisted securities/derivatives. These funds are permitted to take leverage (borrowing) subject to specific conditions. Category II is a residual category that doesn’t fit Category I or III.

    The growing credit requirement from the mid and small-cap companies and the drying up of financing from NBFCs (Non-banking financing companies) also leads to the faster growth of private credit funds within Category II funds. “AIFs lending to the unmet credit needs of mid and small-size companies and making money available for long-term is helping the structural rise of the AUM in the private credit space of AIFs,” stated Vikas M Sachdeva, managing director of Sundaram Alternates.

    Delivered outcomes?

    Investors’ willingness to take larger dangers with startups and unlisted fairness house, resulted in these funds forming a good portion of property below administration of AIFs.

    As per the Crisil AIF Benchmarks analysis, enterprise capital funds (Category I) outperformed the general public market index—S&P BSE 500 TRI—most occasions with a mean outperformance by 20 share factors in a 3 to five-year interval as of FY21. The efficiency of unlisted fairness funds (Cat II), is combined, with close to zero to nominal outperformance – for the chance it takes – in comparison with the market. The long-only fairness AIFs in Category III couldn’t show their outperformance throughout the identical interval, which brings into query the upper payment and decrease tax effectivity these classes of funds include.

    Note that AIF benchmarking in India remains to be in its nascent stage and because of the numerous nature of funding themes that every AIF adopts, there’s a chance of mixing not-like-to-like funds whereas taking a class common.

    Also, a lot of the AIFs, as per Crisil, are but to finish their life cycle and distribute a big portion of their portfolio. The attractiveness of the AIF house may be assessed solely within the coming few years when many AIFs can be transferring in the direction of the tip of their life cycle.

    Jiju Vidyadharan and Piyush Gupta from Crisil, who authored the brand new report on funding business, stated, “The capability of fund managers to make well timed exits from their portfolio firms at beneficial valuations can be a key issue that can determine the expertise that an AIF investor can have.”

    Income inequality?

    Saurabh Mukherjea, founder, of Marcellus Investment Managers believes that the growth in the stock market/AIF space is in part a manifestation of the polarization of the Indian economy around a couple of efficient companies in every sector.

    “As corporate profitability polarizes every year with 7-8 lakh small businesses shutting down, the formalization of the economy and consolidation in the market share in the hands of a few companies in every sector accelerates. This results in both income and wealth inequality in our country,” added Mukherjea.

    He, nonetheless, believes that India is following a reasonably classical financial cycle. “Economic improvement internationally, together with different Asian economies, usually all the best way as much as $10,000 per capita revenue tends to be related to rising inequality. India is on its journey to the $10,000 mark and thus, we live by way of revenue inequality,” he added.

    Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha and True Beacon that has both PMS and AIF funds under its umbrella, says, “Any suggestion that India’s booming AIF sector has been precipitated by growing income inequality would be a mischaracterization of India’s socio-economic and financial landscape. As an emerging economy with a nascent financial sector, growth in Indian AIFs reveals augmented appetite and capacity among middle-class citizens to become participants in their country’s economy due to regulatory relaxation. Aside from a growing middle-class investor base, AIF sector growth also reveals a demand from its wealthiest citizens—most of whom were already involved in financial markets—to take advantage of these more sophisticated investment strategies now available to them. Although wealth inequality is a real and growing problem in India, AIF sector growth should be regarded not as being indicative of the problem, but as part of the solution.”

    Other specialists, too, assume that the rising AIF business is probably not a sign of revenue inequality. They consider it’s a reflection of the center class upgrading to the higher center class on account of financial progress however not at the price of the low-income group.

    “Let alone revenue inequality, lots of the third and fourth technology members of household enterprise are buyers within the enterprise capital house of AIF. That’s an entrepreneurial wealth that’s creating additional employment within the financial system leading to financial progress,” said Munish Randev, founder & CEO, Cervin Family Office & Advisors.

    The road ahead

    The AIF space is expected to grow at a healthy pace in the coming years as well with various initiatives from the industry and the regulator such as digital onboarding, AIF benchmarking and the introduction of an accredited investor framework.

    Based on the 2022 survey of the Indian Association of Alternative Investment Funds (IAAIF), investors are willing to increase their allocation to alternates in the coming years by about 5-10 percentage points in the overall portfolio.

    The industry players wish for certain amends in the current ecosystem to see further traction in the AIF space. The accredited investor framework comes with a host of benefits that include flexibility to participate in AIF with an investment amount lesser than the mandated minimum amount of ₹1 crore. “This concept is well thought-out, but the current framework is very onerous. This can genuinely deepen the market if it is executed well,” added Sukumar.

    Apoorva Vora, founder & CEO, Finolutions LLP within the IAAIF Survey 2022 identified that AIFs have turn out to be a really generic time period. “You might have an AIF with the target of being at-par or barely higher than a liquid fund versus an aggressive AIF coping with distressed property. Unfortunately, each are categorised as AIFs. To the tip investor, this can be difficult to decipher. First and foremost, business leaders ought to begin speaking concerning the classification of AIFs based mostly on threat and asset class. It will assist in bringing extra investor confidence and assist wealth managers as effectively.”

    Besides, the survey additionally highlights that 100% of the respondents wished for rationalisation of taxation of class III AIF. Currently, Category I and Category II AIF have tax pass-through standing for Indian income-tax functions. That means, buyers are taxed on revenue arising from investments made by the AIF as if the investments had been made instantly by them. For Category III AIFs, tax is mostly paid on the fund stage relying on the authorized construction of the AIF.

As a end result, the repo charge has raised by 225 foundation factors to this point in FY23. After that, banks will most likely increase rates of interest on quite a lot of loans and deposit merchandise. After reaching a five-month excessive of seven.41 per cent in September, India’s retail value inflation dropped to six.77 per cent in October 2022, prompting the RBI to boost the repo charge in September coverage to five.90% for the reason that inflation charge was over the higher restrict set by the central financial institution.

    Unity Small Finance Bank FD (theunitybank.com)

    Mr. Samir Jasuja, Founder and Managing Director- PropEquity stated “The RBI elevated rates of interest by 35 foundation factors for the fifth consecutive time will certainly have an effect on homebuyers in India. Currently, the speed is at its highest degree since August 2018. As the repo charges at the moment are at 6.25%, there could also be some repercussions on housing demand. Following 4 consecutive charge hikes this yr, the repo charge hike will undoubtedly increase residence mortgage rates of interest. The influence on housing will probably be reasonable so long as rates of interest stay within the single digits (primarily inside 8.5%). Residential gross sales volumes will probably be impacted within the months to come back in the event that they breach this level – particularly within the reasonably priced and decrease midrange housing segments.”

    Mr. Mitul Shah – Head of Research at Reliance Securities said “The RBI MPC raised the repo rate by 35 basis points to 6.25% with 5-1 vote. It continued its stance of withdrawing accommodation. This is in line with the street estimates. The RBI has raised rates by a cumulative 225 bps since the start of the tightening cycle in Apr’22, way below the US Federal Reserve’s 350 bps increases over the same period. The RBI has already intervened to support the rupee and further rate rises are likely to support the currency and to curtail underlying inflationary pressure. The RBI maintained inflation forecast at 6.7% for FY23 and said the battle against inflation is not over yet. The central bank lowered the growth expectation to 6.8% from 7% seen previously. Though growth rate downward revision and rate hike would be seen as negative for markets, while governor’s positive view on improvement ahead and peak out of inflation now onwards provide some relief to investors. On the other hand, a few banking reforms and launch of digital currency would be key positive for the sector.”

    Tejas Khoday, Co-Founder and CEO of FYERS stated “The Reserve Bank of India’s fifth consecutive rate hike increased the Repo rate by 35 basis points to 6.25 per cent. This announcement is on expected lines and in tandem with the actions undertaken by other central banks in a bid to tame persistent inflation. India’s Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) for October was higher than the MPC tolerance limit of 6 per cent. The withdrawal of the accommodative stance from RBI continues from the previous announcements. Economic growth projections are lower across most developed nations. The inflation versus growth debate continues in India, with RBI keen on bringing down inflation while economic indicators point towards a slowdown in rural consumption. Indian GDP growth is projected at 6.8 percent for FY23, with Q3 GDP growth expected to be around 4.4 per cent. The inflation projection stands at 6.7 per cent. Leading economic indicators show positivity with rising credit growth and utilization factors in the construction and manufacturing sectors, boosted by improving passenger vehicle sales, air traffic growth, and higher private consumption during the current festive season. But merchandise exports witnessed a continuous fall over the last 4-5 months, with imports rising steadily during the same period. With RBI and MPC firmly focused on inflation, the quantum of impact on economic activity needs close monitoring in the quarters ahead.”

    Mr. Okay V Srinivasan, Executive Director & CEO, Profectus Capital stated “The RBI’s motion in elevating the repo charge by 35 bps is according to market expectations and their constant goal to rein in inflation. With the PMI (which displays enterprise confidence) and different indicators being optimistic, I anticipate capex to proceed regardless of greater curiosity price and don’t see financial development being impacted in any important means. Repo charge has in actuality solely gone again to pre-Covid days as emergency measures taken as a result of Covid are being unwound – this can’t be seen in any adverse gentle.”

    Ajit Banerjee, Chief Investment Officer, Shriram Life Insurance said “The Reserve Bank of India has hiked the repo rate by 35 basis points to 6.25% which was on expected lines. However, markets were expecting a slight moderation in the stance but it continues to be the withdrawal of accommodative stance while supporting growth. This may be interpreted that further action on the rate front can still happen before arriving at the terminal rate. RBI also lowered its GDP growth forecast for FY23 to 6.8 percent from 7 per cent earlier. This is predominantly factoring in the global headwinds which prevail and would likely to impact India’s GDP growth. The inflation forecasts for the residual period of FY23 have been marginally increased from the previous forecast in view of the higher inflation level still prevailing. Dispensation of the enhanced HTM limit at 23% for banks extended up to March 2024 will be a welcome step for the banking sector. The RBI Governor also gave caution to the market participants that this surplus liquidity should not be taken for granted hence the liquidity withdrawal will continue. Overall the tonality of the statement can be considered slightly hawkish in nature.”

    Krishnan Vishwanathan, Founder and Executive Director, RING stated “The RBI has made a mammoth effort in making UPI the predominant cost possibility for any and each transaction in India. QR code transaction, peer to look cost via financial institution or telephone numbers, on-line cost to a smallest tea stall to a advantageous eating restaurant – virtually something is feasible utilizing UPI. Having stated that, there have been just a few used circumstances the place conventional cost devices like bank cards had a bonus. This new announcement utterly democratizes UPI for credit score and debit funds, eradicating any gaps in making it the popular selection of cost for each buy. Perhaps essentially the most pivotal facet of right now’s announcement is the combination of Single-Block-and-Multiple-Debits (SBMD) inside the UPI framework. Essentially, SBMD permits customers and retailers to resolve on a sure restrict to which a bank card could also be licensed, making it handy for purchasers and giving confidence to retailers. Now that UPI is able to comparable companies, it’s poised to extend its attain significantly making it the most well-liked mode of cost within the close to future, according to RBI’s imaginative and prescient. This virtually places UPI at par with a conventional bank card . So we’re very optimistic concerning the improvement because it provides digital platforms like ours a chance to supply further advantages to buyer although UPI integration.”

    Atul Monga, Chief Executive and Founder of Basic Home Loan said “As interest rates rise, the impact of monthly instalments for both new and existing customers will be felt. For instance, if the rate of interest is hiked by 0.35, then the EMI of a loan of ₹10 lakh taken at 8.5% for ten years will increase by around ₹300. To deal with the impact of a higher interest rate, it is important to maintain good credit, research the best rate offers, and consider refinancing existing loans to lower the monthly payments customers can also opt for long tenures or switch to a floating rate of interest.”

    Mr. Umesh Kumar Mehta CIO, Samco Mutual Fund stated “RBI has proved that it has certainly managed the worldwide turbulences very astutely, by proactively first, growing the coverage charges aggressively to regulate inflation and handle forex outflows after which now shortly turning to impartial stance forward of developed world, by rightly foreseeing the flip of inflation cycle and loosening of financial strings about to come back from the world’s largest financial powerhouse, the US. Indian coffers have turned the tide shortly, in a matter of weeks the forex reserves have elevated by round 8 to 9% and it appears the present hike in REPO charge by 35 BPS to six.25% appears to be nearing an finish which was subtly indicated and rightly in order India firmly stands out as some of the resilient economies of the world. RBI has steered the Indian financial ecosystem exceedingly properly in comparison with another financial authorities on this planet.”
