54. India: the fast-growing economy with plenty of potential
Mithran Sudhir, Vice President, client portfolio manager of Goldman Sachs India Equity Portfolio, tells us how India has grown from the 12th largest to the 5th largest economy in the world over the past decade. He talks us through some of the structural changes taking place, the hiccups that have occurred, and the opportunities in infrastructure and finance today. With total power generation having doubled, solar and wind power are also going strong.
Goldman Sachs India Equity Portfolio’s objective is to capture the growth potential of the Indian economy. It is focused on investing in sound businesses of all sizes. Company meetings are a crucial part of the process, and the team never says no to a meeting, as it can always learn something about the industry, even if it has no intention of investing. Real cash flows are prioritised over paper profits and the managers only invest where they see the opportunity for a substantial gain.

The content is not intended to be a personal recommendation to buy or sell any fund or trust, or to adopt a particular investment strategy. However, the knowledge that professional analysts have analysed a fund or trust in depth before assigning them a rating can be a valuable additional filter for anyone looking to make their own decisions. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice. Whilst FundCalibre provides product information, guidance and fund research we cannot know which of these products or funds, if any, are suitable for your particular circumstances and must leave that judgement to you. Before you make any investment decision, make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand the risks.
