BUY
For a 10-year hold. It's a premier private bank in India. They've done very well, though they just had a big drop. The Indian currency is at a discount. A good place to be if you are interested in emerging markets. Right now, he isn't buying emerging market banks, but if you are, it wouldn't be a bad choice.

COMMENT
India has been affected by covid. In India, prefers HDFC Bank over IBN, which is the second largest bank. Loan losses have been less at HDFC and they have maintained higher capital ratios. As India rounds the last corner of covid, the name should do well. Longer term demographic and macro trends are positive.

BUY
One of the larger banks and has highest credit rating in India.
Weakness in stock (12x P/E ) compared to European peers (20x P/E).
Not as much access to vaccines, so business in India muted.
Good opportunity to buy as business is growing.
India has population under 35 which provides good opportunity.

BUY
Investing in India right now makes all the sense in the world. It's the largest population now, surpassing China. India has significant growth, population is relatively young and moving to cities, with more banking needs required.
Second-largest bank in India. Just completed a merger with a mortgage business.

A very large bank in India, and they steered clear of all of the nonperforming loan issues. However, because of that, it has very much outperformed ICICI and some of the state banks in India. It is now trading at around 20X earnings. Management is very disciplined and very focused on ROE and risk management.
