Outlook

HDFC group companies are leaders. But they command premium valuations.

HDFC is the best housing finance business. And it offers diversified exposure to HDFC group companies at much lower valuations.

That is buying HDFC puts more assets to work for the money you invest.

Now it is 4,78,402 Crores.

Still quite attractive but with a lower margin of safety.
