Mrinal Singh, CEO & CIO, InCred AMC, says “one can look at our cash as a proxy largecap allocation. We have kept that largely in anticipation of volatility in the market and we would look to deploy it as the market offers volatility at interesting prices.” Did you come across that note, kind of a very honest admission from Chris Wood in the Greed & Fear newsletter, saying that, yes, India is the best game in town right now with superior macros?

Obviously, when the valuations are elevated, the potential returns get subdued, so you need to also manage the return expectations and you need to go down the ladder in terms of market cap, you need to actually dig deeper and we expect customers to have a higher horizon when they make an entry at this juncture. It does become challenging when the markets have a very sharp run up in a short span of time.

Donald Trump won South Carolina's Republican primary on Saturday, easily beating former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in her home state and further consolidating his path to a third straight GOP nomination. Trump has now swept every contest that counted for Republican delegates, adding to previous wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The former president's latest victory will likely increase pressure on Haley, who was Trump's former representative to the U.N. and South Carolina governor from 2011 to 2017, to leave the race. A 2020 general rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden is becoming increasingly inevitable. Haley has vowed to stay in the race through at least the batch of primaries on March 5, known as Super Tuesday, but was unable to dent Trump's momentum in her home state despite holding far more campaign events and arguing that the indictments against Trump will hamstring him against Biden.
