Review: Indian specialist backs cyclical recovery

JPMorgan Indian Investment Trust (JII) has performed strongly over the past six months, as a landslide election victory for pro-reform Narendra Modi of the BJP sparked a major reappraisal of the stock market. The trust seeks capital growth from a portfolio of companies chosen for their quality, value and growth characteristics. The managers take a long-term view and made an early move into cyclical stocks, which hurt performance during the ‘taper tantrum’ in mid-2013, but has helped drive returns since the turn of the year. A move down the capitalisation spectrum has seen turnover tick up, but it remains within a long-term range below 40%. The discount – although above 10% – is around average levels, perhaps reflecting greater caution towards single-country funds.
