What about the Asian region?
I don’t really think there are any Asian countries that are absolute safe bets, should Asia break out into some kind of conflict with the Japanese or the Chinese or the Koreans or Philippines. In that case, no place in Asia would be less dangerous.
How do emerging markets appear as an investment destination now, as compared to the developed markets? Which amongst the two is relatively better insulated, why and on what counts?
America, Germany and many other developed markets are near all-time highs and most undeveloped markets are not. I would prefer to invest in places like Japan, that is still nearly 65 per cent below its all-time high. I would rather invest in Japan rather than in New York. China, too, is around 65 per cent below its high levels. I would much prefer to judge each situation based on its own merit and invest in China or Japan, given that they are depressed, rather than Germany or America.
How do you see the Indian economy shaping? How do you evaluate the change of guard at the Centre and the recent policy measures announced by the new government? Does all this encourage you to look at India as an investment destination?
Well, yes. The new government has done a lot of smart things in its previous positions. I am still in a wait–and–watch mode as regards India. The new government still doesn’t control the upper House (of Parliament), so, the Prime Minister can’t do everything he likes and the recent Union Budget really didn’t do very much. India still has a lot of internal problems. Though I am not investing right away, I am keenly watching the developments unfold. - in business-standard.com July 2014
