Chris Wood hikes exposure to Indian equities

Published On: Friday, December 4, 2020 | By: Team KnowMyStock

The sharp up move from the March 2020 low in the absence of a meaningful recovery in corporate earnings has made Christopher Wood, global head of equity strategy at Jefferies sound caution against the expensive valuation of the Indian equity market. Yet, he has increased exposure to Indian equities in his Asia Pacific ex-Japan relative-return portfolio by one percentage point. Wood had recently hiked allocation to Indian equities in October 2020. “The Indian stock market is not cheap with the market trading at 21.6x 12-month forward consensus earnings. But the positive point is that the multiple should have a tendency to decline going forward. Jefferies expects over 30 percent earnings growth for the fiscal year 2022 (FY22) and 13.2 percent real GDP growth,” Wood wrote in his latest weekly note to investors, GREED & fear.
