Power Gilt Fixed Income Debt Management LLP is at the forefront of providing Fixed Income Investment and Debt Capital Portfolio Management Services to Corporate Treasuries. With a track record spanning over a decade and serving a diverse clientele of over 1000 Institutional/Corporate and retail investors, Power Gilt has been a dominant player in the Debt Market since 2005. Our mission is clear: to offer superior returns with safety, security of capital, and easy liquidity in the Indian Fixed Income space.
In today's financial landscape, the focus is on maximizing returns while ensuring capital safety. This has led to a shift towards direct investment in sovereign and PSU Bonds, which offer ultimate security, superior returns, and potential capital appreciation compared to traditional avenues like Bank FDs and Debt schemes of Mutual Funds.
Indian Sovereign Government Securities and Sovereign Government Guaranteed bonds have emerged as highly sought-after investment options, promising maximum return on investment through interest earnings and capital appreciation while guaranteeing 100% Safety & Security of Capital.
Market dynamics are evolving, with expectations of a peak in the higher interest rate regime following anticipated reductions by the US Federal Reserve. The current 10-year sovereign treasury yield in the US reflects this trend, coupled with India's moderating Consumer Price Index (CPI). These factors are driving bond prices up, making Indian government securities a prime choice for investors seeking super-normal returns.
The inclusion of Indian government securities in prestigious indices like the JP Morgan Sovereign Global Bond index and Bloomberg Emerging Market Local Currency Index further reinforces their attractiveness. Foreign fund inflows are expected to reach Rs. 2.95-3.15 lakh crores, and RBI's bond sales strategy aligns with market sentiments, boosting investor confidence.
In parallel, recent initiatives by major financial players like BlackRock Inc to increase their share in India's government bonds via ETFs indicate growing interest and confidence in the market. RBI's substantial dividend to the central government, coupled with robust GST and IT collections, adds to the positive outlook, fueling speculations of a sovereign rating upgrade.
Looking ahead, a liquidity-driven rally in Indian Sovereign debt Markets from June onwards is anticipated. The interplay of demand-supply dynamics and interest rate cuts is expected to drive bond price appreciation, presenting further opportunities for investors.
Despite these favorable trends, challenges persist, especially in managing counterparty risk in the aftermath of defaults, roll-overs, and rating downgrades by corporate issuers. The finance minister's announcement regarding the Minimum Guarantee limit for Fixed Deposit Accounts underscores the importance of risk aversion and flight to safety.
For Cooperative societies, safeguarding the corpus fund, which represents the hard-earned money of their members, is paramount. Power Gilt actively manages these funds, aiming to generate superior rates of interest while ensuring total Safety and Security of Capital through investments in Sovereign Government Securities and leveraging the power of compounding.
Financial security not only brings peace of mind but also allows Cooperative societies to focus on their core operations, fostering growth and prosperity. The cooperative sector's contribution is indispensable in India's journey towards a five Trillion dollar economy, encapsulating the essence of "Sahkar se Samriddhi" - the magic mantra for progress.
In conclusion, Power Gilt is committed to empowering Cooperative sectors through financial engineering, offering solutions that drive growth, security, and prosperity in line with the vision of a developed and thriving India.
