4 KUBERA CROSS-BORDER FUND ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Investment Manager s Report India Economic Review The Indian economic growth is ikey to fa to a three-year ow of 6.9 per cent in 2011-12. Lower GDP in FY12 is an outcome of tight monetary poicy and a ogjam in government poicy making, couped with weak goba conditions. The Bombay Stock Exchange Sensex (comprising of 30 stocks) ended the year at 15,455 points, a punge from 20,561 points at the end of 2010, and was down by 24.8% on a year-on-year basis. 21,000 1-yr Absoute Return-Sensex 10 Quartery GDP (%) 20,000 19,000 18,000 8 6 7.8 7.7 6.9 6.1 17,000 16,000 15,000 3-Jan-11 2-Feb-11 4-Mar-11 3-Apr-11 3-May-11 2-Jun-11 2-Ju-11 1-Aug-11 31-Aug-11 30-Sep-11 30-Oct-11 29-Nov-11 29-Dec-11 4 2 0 Jan- Mar 11 Apr- Jun 11 Ju- Sep 11 Oct- Dec 11 With downside risks of goba events ikey to continue, the Indian economy too is showing cear signs of an economic sowdown in the near term. Over the onger term, the economic fundamentas remain intact and the economy shoud improve and consoidate its position. A discouraging trend in 2011 has been on account of continued outfows from foreign institutiona investors ( FII ). FII have been seing across markets and puing out money from India and other emerging markets. However, for the year to date, overseas funds invested US$ 11.93 biion in Indian markets (US$ 0.75 biion in Indian equities market &US$ 11.18 biion in Indian debt markets). We expect the poitica stabiity and investor friendy poicies to be beneficia for the business cimate in India and by extension for a our investments. 5.00 4.00 3.00 2.00 2011-FII Infow (Ou ows) USD Biion 5.00 4.00 3.00 2.00 During the ast quarter of 2011, the Sensex decined by 697 points, down by ~4.5%. The mid-cap index (NIFTY Midcap) underperformed the broad index significanty during the quarter, and was down by 14.2%. At current prices, the Indian stock market is priced at a forward P/E of 12x-13x. The European debt probem has unquestionaby been the dominant goba factor effecting economies throughout the year, which has been a source of voatiity in goba asset and currency markets. With the kind of voatiity evident in goba capita fows over this period, the Indian Rupee depreciated significanty from 44.72 to end at 53.07 per US doar, decining approximatey 18.7% during the year. Portfoio In 2011, KUBC s audited NAV per share decreased by 8% from US$1.01 to US$0.93 from 31 December 2010 to 31 December 2011. The decine was primariy on account of revised company forecasts for the current fisca year in the case of two portfoio companies, and the depreciation of Indian Rupee vis-à-vis the US Doar, which is the denomination of the Fund. The vauation adjustments are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board, soey comprising of independent directors. The Manager evauates reaisation decisions in conjunction with management teams of the portfoio companies who are aso substantia owners. The Manager's decision is infuenced by operating performance, a eadership position, goba strategic interest in the sector, among severa variabes. 1.00 - (1.00) 1.00 - (1.00) Kubera Partners LLC Investment Manager (2.00) (3.00) January February March Apri May June Juy August ust September October November December (2.00) (3.00) Debt Infows Equity Infows Tota Infows (RHS)
