Portfolio of 13 Small & Mid Caps for 2013 is Released

Dear Reader,

We have released the portfolio of carefully selected 13 small and mid caps  from universe of small and mid cap stocks which can benefit investors in the year 2013. We are confident that these stocks can outperform major indices like Sensex and Nifty. We have shared portfolio of 13 small & mid cap stocks for 2013 with all our members.

We are glad to share the past performance of recently released Diwali Muhurat Portfolio (released on 11th Nov'12) which is outperforming Sensex by 4.9%. Since 11th Nov'12, Sensex has given returns of 5.5% (18,684 to 19,714), where as during the same period, Diwali Muhurat Portfolio has given absolute returns of 10.4%. One of our Value Pick stock, Tata Coffee which we included in our Diwali Muhurat Portfolio is giving as on date returns of 46%.


Diwali Muhurat Portfolio was shared with all our members on 11th Nov'12 and we will review the performance of same before Diwali 2013. Hence, suggest our members to continue holding these stocks for time period of 1 year.

If you missed the opportunity, you can choose to receive portfolio of 13 small & mid cap stocks for 2013 by subscribing to any of our services. Click here to know more about our annual subscription services.

Our selection process includes lot of research and data analysis. We first identify the sectors that are likely to do well in next 12 months. Having that done, we further refine our search to select companies from that sector. We create a portfolio worth Rs. 1 Lakh comprising 13 stocks so that it can help investors to create a model portfolio with lump sum investment upto 1 Lakh.

We have given the different allocation to each of the scrips keeping in mind the risk versus returns ratio. We have also fine tuned the portfolio with mid-cap and small cap scrips from different sectors so that the investors can invest in a complete mix of stocks to balance their portfolio. Saral Gyan Portfolio of 13 for 2013 includes best of Hidden Gems and Value Picks recommended by our equity analyst’s team during last one year.

We continue to follow our simple but effective approach by evaluating each stock on the basis of below mentioned criteria’s.

(i) Top Quality management with high integrity:

This is an absolutely non-negotiable condition. If the management is not honest, will they want to share the goodies with you? No, they will look for the first opportunity to siphon off the profits and pull the wool over your eyes.

(ii) The scale of opportunity must be big:

Multi-bagger stocks are created because they are able to scale the opportunity rapidly. Titan Industries is a great example. In 2003-04, Titan‘s market cap was 500 crores. In 2011-12, it is close to 25,000 crores. The fact that India is a booming marketplace of 120 crores consumers means that most products and services have a head start at trying to scale up their activities.

(iii) Low debt; free cash flows:

We learnt from the great crisis of 2011 that companies with high debt on their books simply get slaughtered. While debt per se is not bad (if the company is able to borrow at a lower rate and deploy it in its business at a higher rate, the operating leverage works in its favour), excessive debt with high interest and repayment obligations can crunch the stock in times of downturn. So, as a long-term investment philosophy, it is best to steer clear of high-debt companies.

(iv) High ROE – Efficient users of capital:

Some company’s management is able to squeeze that little extra of every buck. A ROE of at least 25% is necessary to make into the hallowed list of model portfolio.

(v) No High Capex Requirements – No Serial Diluters of Equity:

We know from (bitter) experience the demerits of investing in stocks like Suzlon & GMR which have an insatiable appetite for more and more capital. To feed their perennial hunger, these companies dilute their equity by making FPOs, GDRs & FCCBs resulting in total destruction of shareholders’ wealth. Companies should be lean and mean requiring minimal capital but generating huge returns there from.

(vi) Reasonable growth expectations:

“If you get a tax-free return of 18% for your portfolio, you must be very happy”. So, stop craving for that overnight multi-bagger. You’ll only end up losing your precious capital that way. Instead, look for well established small, mid and blue chips companies that are growing at a reasonable rate of return (15 – 25%). With time and the magic of compounding, you will have your muti-bagger in your portfolio.

(vii) Valuations:

Most investors are obsessed about valuations, refusing to buy any stock that is “expensive”. However, one must remember that “expensive” is a relative term. If a stock is compounding at 25% on an annual basis, paying a price of 30 times earnings may be very reasonable. A stock like Nestle, for instance, has always been “expensive”. However, if an investor had gone ahead and bought the stock, he would have had an incredible multi-bagger on his hands. On the other hand, in trying to buy a “cheap” stock, one may get saddled with unsavory companies. After all, there is a reason why such stocks are “cheap”.

Of course, one should be careful not to buy in euphoric or bubble times when the pricing may be extravagant and not at all reasonable.

(viii) Concentrated Portfolio:

We like Warren Buffett approach, a believer in the concept of a concentrated portfolio. If you believe in the prospects of a stock you should be prepared to put a substantial chunk of money in it – or nothing at all. There is no point in buying a bit of this and a bit of that because that dilutes your returns.

Of course, we are no match for Warren Buffett and we do not have his conviction levels. So, we’ll stick to 13 stocks to begin with, which means that from 5% to 12% of the wealth will be invested in each stock.

(ix) Diversification:

Last but not the least; a proper portfolio must be diversified across sectors. A bit of Finance, a bit of consumption, some autos, a pinch of chemical etc will make a balanced portfolio.

Saral Gyan Portfolio of 13 for 2013 has been emailed to all our Hidden Gems, Value Picks and Wealth-Builder members. Portfolio stocks holding period is minimum of one year, same will be evaluated by our analysts at end of 2013.

Why Rebalancing of Portfolio is Important?

Portfolio rebalancing is the process of bringing the different asset classes back into proper relationship following a significant change in one or more.

More simply stated, it is returning your portfolio to the proper mix of stocks, bonds and cash when they no longer conform to your plan. An example might help.

Say you have determined that given your risk tolerance, time horizon and financial goals that your portfolio should look like this:

• Stocks 60% Rs. 60,000
• Bonds 35% Rs. 35,000
• Cash 5% Rs. 5,000
• Total 100% Rs. 100,000

We’ll use a starting total portfolio value of Rs. 100,000 so the math is easy and the Rupee and percentages match.

How Things Change?

A couple of your stocks catch on fire and before you know it, your portfolio looks like this:

• Stocks 67% Rs. 80,000
• Bonds 29% Rs. 35,000
• Cash 4% Rs. 5,000
• Total 100% Rs. 120,000

You might be asking, ‘What’s the problem? You are up Rs. 20,000 – isn’t that a good thing?’ Of course, it’s a good thing, however the problem is it has moved the investor away from the ideal asset allocation and possibly exposed him or her to more risk than is acceptable.

This is where the conservative investor will step in and bring the portfolio back to the original allocation.

How to Rebalance?

You can do this several ways:

i) You could sell off some of the stock that had the recent run up and invest the profits in bonds and cash until the original percentages are achieved.

ii) Another alternative would be to look at your other stock holdings and sell any underperformers to generate the cash to invest in the other two asset classes.

iii) The third alternative would be to invest new money into your portfolio in the bonds and cash portion to bring those percentages up to proper levels.

It would be tempting to leave the portfolio alone, however the purpose of establishing an allocation is to achieve the best return with an acceptable level of risk. Doing nothing violates that premise and exposes the investor to unacceptable levels of risk.

As a rule of thumb, when your assets drift 5% or more away from your allocation, you should re-balance. This can occur naturally over time or following an abrupt rise or decline in one or more asset classes.

Look at Your Stocks

Re-balancing is not just a big picture exercise. Within the stocks portion of your portfolio, you may need to rebalance those relationship also.

For example, you might determine the stock portion of your portfolio should look like this:

• Large-cap growth stocks 50%
• Utility stocks 30%
• Technology stocks 10%
• Other stocks 10%

If several technology stocks takeoff in a big way, you face a dilemma. Do you sell off some of your winners and buy more of the other categories to rebalance your portfolio?

The other alternative is to put more money into the other stock categories to bring their percentages up and the portfolio back into balance.

The Price of Inaction

What is the price of doing nothing? If you are risk adverse, a portfolio that becomes more heavily weighted in volatile technology stocks will keep you up at night.

Consider what happened to many investors during the technology stock boom of the late 1999-2000 or real estate boom of 2007-2008. Not only did they let the technology stocks or reality stocks grow out of any reasonable allocation, many also sold off other stock to buy more such companies.

When the market crashed in March of 2000 / Jan of 2008, the investors who had let technology / real estate balloon to a hugely disproportionate percentage of their portfolio had nothing to fall back on.

Portfolio rebalancing is an important part of sticking to your game plan. You should look at your portfolio at least once is six month in terms of rebalancing and more frequently if you have had a significant gain or loss in any asset class.

How Many Stocks Should You Own?

How many different stocks should you own? There is no absolute answer to that question – every investor will come up with an answer that suits his or her particular situation.

However, many investors find holding around 15 - 20 individual stocks spread over five to seven different industries gives them a well-diversified portfolio.

If you are just starting out, don’t panic and think you have to get to this level all at once. This is a goal, not a starting point.

Even then, the most successful individual investor of all times, Warren Buffett is not sold on the value of spreading your money over a large number of stocks. However, since we’re not Warren Buffett, the prudent thing to do is protect yourself with a diversified portfolio.

What your stock portfolio looks like depends on several things:

• Your financial goals

• Your risk tolerance

• Your time horizon

These factors will drive how conservative or aggressive your mix of stocks is.

If your strategy is conservative, your portfolio will favor stocks from industries that tend toward slow, but steady growth in all types of business cycles, such as:

• Consumer staples stocks

• Utility stocks

A more aggressive approach might target these investments:

• High growth stocks

• Technology stocks

The conservative investor will want to focus more on larger, well-established companies, while a more aggressive investor might look for some percentage of investment to go toward smaller, emerging companies with larger potential for growth, but at a higher risk.

Of course, stocks are just one part of a diversified portfolio. Spreading your money over different asset classes to include bonds and cash as well as stocks gives you a better risk profile.

The more conservative investor will place more assets in bonds and cash, while the aggressive investor will do the opposite and fund stocks over bonds and cash.

Don’ get hung up on meeting an arbitrary number for filling out your portfolio of stocks. The important consideration is to find a balance that meets your financial goals and works with your risk tolerance. As long as your portfolio is diversified by industry and asset class, you are taking the right steps toward building a sound financial future.

Saral Gyan Portfolio of 10 Best Small & Mid Cap Stocks

Our equity analysts have selected 10 scrips from small and mid cap stocks which can benefit our investors in financial year 2012-2013. Saral Gyan team is confident that carefully choosen small and mid cap stocks will outpeform all major indices and can easily give more than 15% returns on yearly basis to investors.

Equity analysts at Saral Gyan tried to apply a simple but effective approach by evaluating each stock on the basis of below mentioned criteria’s.

(i)   Top Quality management with high integrity:

This is an absolutely non-negotiable condition. If the management is not honest, will they want to share the goodies with you? No, they will look for the first opportunity to siphon off the profits and pull the wool over your eyes.

(ii) The scale of opportunity must be big:

Multi-bagger stocks are created because they are able to scale the opportunity rapidly. Titan Industries is a great example. In 2003-04, Titan‘s market cap was 500 crores. In 2011-12, it is close to 19,500 crores. The fact that India is a booming marketplace of 120 crores consumers means that most products and services have a head start at trying to scale up their activities.

(iii) Low debt; free cash flows:

We learnt from the great crisis of 2011 that companies with high debt on their books simply get slaughtered. While debt per se is not bad (if the company is able to borrow at a lower rate and deploy it in its business at a higher rate, the operating leverage works in its favour), excessive debt with high interest and repayment obligations can crunch the stock in times of downturn.

(ix) Diversification:

Last but not the least; a proper portfolio must be diversified across sectors. A bit of Finance, a bit of consumption, some autos, a pinch of chemical etc will make a balanced portfolio.





Selection process of these stocks has been made with lot of research and data analysis. We first identified the sectors that are likely to do well in next 12 to 15 months. Having that done, we further refined our search to select companies from that sector. We have created a portfolio worth Rs. 1 Lakh comprising below 10 stocks so that it can help investors to create a model portfolio with lump sum investment upto 1 Lakh.

We have given the different allocation to each of the scrips keeping in mind the risk versus returns ratio. We have also fine tuned the portfolio with mid-cap and small cap scrips so that the investors can invest in a complete mix of stocks to balance their portfolio.

Hidden Gem July'11 - Returns @ 130% in 12 Months

Dear Saral Gyan Reader,

Once again we are delighted to inform you that during bad times of stock markets, our equity analysts team has recommended the right stock at right point of time.

Hidden Gem July 2011 stock price is doubled giving more than 100% returns, stock touched all time high of Rs. 421.60 today, giving returns of more than 130% on your investment in span of 12 months. Isn't it great to enjoy profits of 130% during turbulent times of stock market.

So which Hidden Gem was recommended in July 2011 by our equity analysts?

Answer is WPIL (BSE Stock code: 505872)

Hidden Gems research report was sent to all our Hidden Gems subscribers on 24th July, 2011.  

We recommended Buy on WPIL at Rs. 182.50 (average purchase price) on 24th July 2011 for target of Rs. 460 with time period of 18-24 months. Today, stock has made 52 week high of Rs. 421.60 and closed at Rs. 415.95 giving absolute returns of 128% to our Hidden Gems subscribers.

Profit Booking Strategy: We recommend our Hidden Gems subscribers to book profits partially by selling 50% of their holding at current market price and keeping rest for long term. Remember, you need not to bother about your remaining quantity, its free for you. Once you  book profits of more than 100% by selling half of your shares, you can hold remaining 50% shares at no cost!

Click here to read/download WPIL (Hidden Gem - July 2011) research report.

Note: Its important to diversify your small cap stock portfolio, you can't just bet on one or two stocks. Our objective is to protect & grow your capital giving 100% to identify best of Hidden Gems but we do not guarantee similar returns from all our recommendations. Few of our Hidden Gems can perform better in a lesser span of time, few may take more time and need to hold for longer period.

Here is an example: We recommended Piccadily Agro to our investors at price of Rs. 35.95 in Dec 2010, stock made high of Rs. 54.90 delivering excellent numbers in 3rd and 4th quarter of FY 2011. But due to poor performance in FY12 on account of high raw material prices and rising interest cost on ongoing expansion, stock tumbled down heavily and is now available at Rs. 24.75.

Sensex was at 15,495 at beginning of this year and today closed at 16863, giving returns  of 9.1% since 1st Jan 2012 whereas Saral Gyan portfolio is giving returns of 17.2%. 11 out of 12 stocks gave positive returns, Petronet LNG returns is the only stock which gave negative returns, stock has gone seen a steep correction in price due to margin pressures. Star performers of the portfolio are from mid and small cap space giving returns of almost 50% in last 6 months.

Stock Portfolio of 12 which can perform well in 2012

Dear Reader,

May this year brings a lot of happiness, wellness and prosperity in your life. Happy New Year 2012!

We have selected 12 scrips which can benefit investors in new year 2012. We tried to apply a simple but effective approach by evaluating each stock on the basis of below mentioned criteria’s.

(i) Top Quality management with high integrity:

This is an absolutely non-negotiable condition. If the management is not honest, will they want to share the goodies with you? No, they will look for the first opportunity to siphon off the profits and pull the wool over your eyes.

(ii) The scale of opportunity must be big:

Multi-bagger stocks are created because they are able to scale the opportunity rapidly. Titan Industries is a great example. In 2003-04, Titan‘s market cap was 500 crores. In 2011-12, it is close to 19,500 crores. The fact that India is a booming marketplace of 120 crores consumers means that most products and services have a head start at trying to scale up their activities.

(iii) Low debt; free cash flows:

We learnt from the great crisis of 2011 that companies with high debt on their books simply get slaughtered. While debt per se is not bad (if the company is able to borrow at a lower rate and deploy it in its business at a higher rate, the operating leverage works in its favour), excessive debt with high interest and repayment obligations can crunch the stock in times of downturn. So, as a long-term investment philosophy, it is best to steer clear of high-debt companies.

(iv) High ROE – Efficient users of capital:

Some company’s management is able to squeeze that little extra of every buck. A ROE of at least 25% is necessary to make into the hallowed list of model portfolio.

(v) No High Capex Requirements – No Serial Diluters of Equity:

We know from (bitter) experience the demerits of investing in stocks like Suzlon & GMR which have an insatiable appetite for more and more capital. To feed their perennial hunger, these companies dilute their equity by making FPOs, GDRs & FCCBs resulting in total destruction of shareholders’ wealth. Companies should be lean and mean requiring minimal capital but generating huge returns there from.

(vi) Reasonable growth expectations:

“If you get a tax-free return of 18% for your portfolio, you must be very happy”. So, stop craving for that overnight multi-bagger. You’ll only end up losing your precious capital that way. Instead, look for well established small, mid and blue chips companies that are growing at a reasonable rate of return (15 – 25%). With time and the magic of compounding, you will have your muti-bagger in your portfolio.

(vii) Valuations:

Most investors are obsessed about valuations, refusing to buy any stock that is “expensive”. However, one must remember that “expensive” is a relative term. If a stock is compounding at 25% on an annual basis, paying a price of 30 times earnings may be very reasonable. A stock like Nestle, for instance, has always been “expensive”. However, if an investor had gone ahead and bought the stock, he would have had an incredible multi-bagger on his hands. On the other hand, in trying to buy a “cheap” stock, one may get saddled with unsavory companies. After all, there is a reason why such stocks are “cheap”.

Of course, one should be careful not to buy in euphoric or bubble times when the pricing may be extravagant and not at all reasonable.

(viii) Concentrated Portfolio:

We like Warren Buffett approach, a believer in the concept of a concentrated portfolio. If you believe in the prospects of a stock you should be prepared to put a substantial chunk of money in it – or nothing at all. There is no point in buying a bit of this and a bit of that because that dilutes your returns.

Of course, we are no match for Warren Buffett and we do not have his conviction levels. So, we’ll stick to 12 stocks to begin with, which means that from 5% to 12% of the wealth will be invested in each stock.

(ix) Diversification:

Last but not the least; a proper portfolio must be diversified across sectors. A bit of Finance, a bit of consumption, some autos, a pinch of chemical etc will make a balanced portfolio.

Our selection process has been made with lot of research and data analysis. We first identified the sectors that are likely to do well in next 12 months. Having that done, we further refined our search to select companies from that sector. We have created a portfolio worth Rs. 1 Lakh comprising 12 stocks so that it can help investors to create a model portfolio with lump sum investment upto 1 Lakh.

We have given the different allocation to each of the scrips keeping in mind the risk versus returns ratio. We have also fine tuned the portfolio with large-cap, mid-cap and small cap scrips so that the investors can invest in a complete mix of stocks to balance their portfolio. Saral Gyan Portfolio of 12 for 2012 includes best of Hidden Gems and Value Picks recommended by our equity analyst’s team during last one year.

Saral Gyan Portfolio of 12 for 2012 is emailed to all our Hidden Gems, Value Picks and WealthBuilder members. Portfolio stocks holding period is minimum one year, same will be evaluated by our analysts at end of 2012.
