May 10, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Investrend Information Syndicate) — Editor’s note: Our readers tracking India-centric exchange-traded instruments such as the iPath MSCI India ETN (NTSE: INP), the WisdomTree India Earnings Fund (NYSE: EPI), the PowerShares India Portfolio (NYSE: PIN) and/or the iShares S&P India Index Fund (NASDAQ: INDY) may find ValueNotes recent “ICI” results of interest:

The findings of the third wave of the “J.P. Morgan Asset Management — ValueNotes Investment Confidence Index” (ICI) were recently released. The findings for the most recent quarters’ survey show that the signs of an economic recovery, which resulted in “widespread optimism” as recorded and reported in September 2009, has now abated giving way to a sense of measured optimism within the investment community. The results indicate that a range of macro economic factors have affected corporate treasuries and advisors, while retail investors continue to be optimistic. Some of the key findings of this quarter’s survey include:

 - Indian investment confidence falls for the first time since the launch of the ICI;

 - While corporate confidence hits an all-time low, retail investor confidence continues to rise;

 - Inflation is the biggest confidence killer today;

 - Concerns over a global economic recovery resurface, coupled with a decline in the outlook on the Indian economic situation for the first time since the survey began;

 - More investors expect both; income and investment outlay to increase;

 - HNIs in India are the most optimistic among all “wallet” sizes;

 - Most investors’ proved right on the Sensex levels in December 2009. Now investors are expecting the Sensex to trade between 18,000 and 19,000 in June 2010.

Apart from the above, according to ValueNotes, the survey reveals “some interesting investing trends within retail and corporate investors”. A detailed press release is available at the ValueNotes website (at http://www.valuenotes.biz/media/JPM_waveIII.asp), and a copy of the recent ICI presentation is accessible via the ValueNotes website (at http://www.valuenotes.biz/downloads/registration.asp?id=ICI_Presentation_March_2010_WaveIII.pdf).
