Gitanjali Gems Ltd - Gitanjali Gems is one of the largest manufacturers and retailers of diamonds and jewellery in India. It sources rough diamonds from various primary or secondary sources then engages in the cutting and polishing the rough diamond for export to the international market as well as manufacture and sale of diamond and other jewellery through its retail operations in India and abroad. The company was started in 1966 as a partnership. It came with an IPO in the year 2006 with 1.70 cr shares at the price band of Rs.170 -195. The demand for diamond and jewellery products is largely dependents on higher employment and economic levels, which leave higher disposable income in the hands of the consumers. In downturn consumers can quite easily scale down their consumption of jewellery and diamonds.

Gitanjali Gems has got two-diamond manufacturing facilities located at Borivali in Mumbai and at the Special Economic Zone in Surat. It has also got a 100% export oriented unit in SEEPZ Mumbai, which produces gold and platinum studded jewellery. There are also jewellery-manufacturing facilities at MIDC, Andheri, which produces branded jewellery for the retail operations in India. The company has a workforce of over 2300 employees.

Company sells its jewellery under the brand - Asmi - Premium work wear collection & has 104 outlets, 2 exclusive stores; Sangini - Entire product range including bridal jewelry; Nakshatra - Entire product range including bridal jewelry available with 374 retailers and 1 franchisee. More franchisees are being added; Gili - Diamond jewelry at reasonable prices having 256 outlets of which 3 are exclusive stores; Vivvaha - Wedding jewelry; Maya - Gold jewelry for wedding and other similar events; D’Damas - International quality designs combined with Indian values sells through 380 retailers, 2 exclusive outlets, 3 shop-in-malls and 21 franchisees; Hoop - Fashion Silver Jewelry.

The Gitanjali Group has acquired Lucera for Rs 25 crores in 2008. In October 2009, the UK-based Brand Finance, valued the four leading brands of the company at Rs.514 crore (Nakshatra), Rs.468 crore (Gili), Rs.309 cr. (D'Damas) and Rs.210 cr. (Asmi), respectively. GGL is not only gearing towards improving sales but is also looking at multiplying the value of these brands by 1.5 to 2 times by 2011-2012.

Recently, Gitanjali Gems Ltd. (GGL) is in talks with global PE investors Blackstone and CX Partners to divest 10 % of equity to raise $100 million in its restructured jewellery brand holding company. According to sources, in a separate valuation prepared by these PE players, the holding company is valued at close to Rs 5,000 crore, three times the current market capitalisation of Rs 1,700 crore of the entire group. Sources say, around Rs 50 crore will go to the GGL account, while the remaining Rs 400 crore will be re-invested in the company for working capital and inventory build up.

So the question comes that how the subsidiary would have a higher valuation than the parent company? The answer may be that the subsidiary would be a low-debt company, with a minimum working capital cycle, along with high possibility of return on investment. Considering half of the PE multiple of the industry leader, Tanishq, the valuation could be much higher. GGL’s current book value is close to Rs 2,200 crore. This company is in a low margin business because of raw material costs, which is Gold. Now Gitanjali holds gold stock from 11000 levels, so no more margin pressure from raw material side till now.

FMP's Better than Bank FD's

Fixed Maturity Plans are being offered by various banks now a days, So what are these FMP's ?


A Fixed Maturity Plans (FMP) is that instrument which invests in bank Certificates of Deposits (CD) & which are compared with bank FDs & a FMP that invests in corporate debt are compared with fixed deposits of corporates of similar rating of credit.

FMP's also invests in Debt & money market  instruments- typically AAA rate corporate bonds. The tenure's are around One year & almost 100 % of their funds are invested in Commercial paper (CP) & CD's. These CP's & CD's rates tend to shoot up in a raising interest rates regime, making FMP investment more attractive. Fund managers of  FMP's does not need to Buy/Sell the instrument on continuous basis, which means low management fees.

FMP's have a minimum investment of Rs 5000. Capital gains on FMP will be short term capital if hold for less than 1 year and at short term capital tax rate, which is clubbed to your income for that year and taxed according to the tax bracket you fall in. If you hold for more than 1 year than long term capital gain tax will be applicable

Whereas in FD's the tax on income is based on the tax slab the investor is in (which can be as high as 31%) the investor can earn tax free dividends (subject to dividend distribution tax of 14 % for retail investors & for corporates 22 %). So if you are in top tax bracket then the capital gain on that FMP will be taxed accordingly. Indexation method will apply to FMP's if holded over a year. So I would prefer to go for 2 year FMP rather than 1 year as they give better tax adjusted returns.
