A sharp slide in rupee has prompted mutual fund managers to bet on export-oriented sectors such as information technology and pharmaceuticals.
The rupee has fallen over 15 percent against the dollar so far this year and is currently trading at 73.43 against the dollar. The currency is down 8.3 percent year on year, which means the depreciation is at a five-year high.
Krishna Sanghavi, head-equities, Canara Robeco Mutual Fund believes companies in export-oriented sectors will benefit from the rupee's depreciation. “We are positive on IT and pharma because of improving business outlook and benefits of rupee depreciation," he says.
Echoing Sanghavi’s view, LIC Mutual Fund’s Chief Investment Officer Sarvana Kumar says, “Pharma and IT companies are likely to report better earnings and an improvement in their profit margins.”
