Equity Bottom-Up

After years of speculation, Jio's launch date has arrived. At <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/198" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:198:1">Reliance Industries' (RIL IN)</a> AGM, Mukesh Ambani announced the official launch of their service on September 5th. With the exception of two wrinkles, the launch pricing is relatively close to what we anticipated with very cheap tariffs but focused on those subscribing to very high usage plans. The headlines of INR 50/GB are misleading, Jio is not selling 1GB data buckets for INR 50. Nevertheless, the headlines yesterday were alarming…

Jio Launches 4G in India. Will Bharti Be Hit?

We have spoken about likely consolidation in the Indian mobile market in the past, given the massive sums that need to be spent to stay relevant in a data world. Already, we have seen a number of smaller players sell/merge their companies/spectrum holdings. We discussed some of this in the note <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/bharti-jio-worries-overdone-recovery-continues" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:5285">Bharti: Jio Worries Overdone.

IDEA/Vodafone Courtship: A New No1 in India? Indian Telecom Consolidation Moving Forward.

Jio has built a huge amount of wireless capacity in an Indian context, but India is a very large country, with thin incumbent networks. If Jio wants to deliver and retain a good customer experience they can probably only accommodate 50-80m subscribers, using 2.5-4GB/month of data with current capacity. This is insufficient to derail the improving ROIC picture for an industry that is rapidly consolidating.<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/953" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:953:1">Bharti (BHARTI IN)</a> is by far the best-positioned operator among the incumbents and we have raised our target price for Bharti to INR615 while downgrading the target price for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/15678" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15678:1">IDEA (IDEA IN)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/5197" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5197:1">RCOM (RCOM IN)</a> to INR130 and INR55 respectively.

Global Asset Allocation, Politics & Governance

Ecstrat

Ecstrat is a consultancy advising on asset allocation between global equity markets, with a focus on the intersection of governments, geopolitics, governance and markets.
 
Over the past few years and more especially since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), investors have become more focused on short-term market movements and real-time returns and have consequently neglected the analysis of the underlying structural themes that underpin longer term performance.
​
More specifically we believe that the evolution of governance-based relationships between investors, controlling shareholders, labour and the state is one of the primary determinants of both relative and absolute performance between individual equity markets.
 
We will endeavour to provide investors with some of the context surrounding governance-related issues which encompass many different disciplines including history, economics and political science, as well as the financial metrics which are the most obvious manifestation of the structural characteristics of each market.
 
We will pay particular attention to the shifts and potential inflection points for governance in individual markets as these are often the best lead indicators for both economic and market performance.
