On IT Sector: “We continue to have a large allocation to IT services, primarily given that valuations are a lot more reasonable, these companies continue to generate a lot of cash. And if demand doesn’t pick up, they may look at inorganic opportunities. But for us, the bet remains that demand will eventually pick up. There is a point at which a lot of the developed world companies will start doing capex which they have deferred, and you will see valuations rerate in that space.”

On sectors: “We are stock specific, and we found select opportunities, say in a pharma company which came, sort of came within our buy limit where we wanted to add it, we continue to track the logistics space closely where we think there might be an opportunity which may come through for us to add but apart from that, the large allocation remains financials, which includes private sector banks as well as insurance companies and. Also, we have a large allocation to automobiles, which, of course, we’ve reduced our allocation there, but it still remains very large relative to what other managers hold, which includes two-wheeler names as well as a larger tractor and automotive company.”
