New Year Portfolio 2023 of 10 Stocks - ROI of 79.6%

Dear Reader,

Greetings from Team - Saral Gyan!

In the beginning of 2023, we released our New Year Portfolio 2023 of 10 Small and Mid Caps and shared with all our active members of Hidden Gems, Value Picks and Wealth-Builder service.

With end of this year, its time to review Saral Gyan Portfolio of 10 stocks of 2023 released on 1st Jan 2023. We are pleased to share that our portfolio has outperformed Sensex by whopping 60.9%. Sensex has given returns of 18.7% (60,841 on 1st Jan '23 to 72,240 as on date) since beginning of the year where as Saral Gyan Portfolio of 10 Small and Mid Caps of 2023 have outperformed giving absolute returns of 79.6% in the same period.

Performance update of Saral Gyan Portfolio of 10 Small & Mid Caps - 2023

Nine stocks out of ten of our New Year Portfolio 2023 are giving positive returns in the range of 7% to 307% and only one stock has given negative returns of -9%.

The maximum returns were delivered by our Hidden Gem stocks, Cupid is giving as on date returns of 307% and Control Print has delivered returns of 148%. Value Picks stocks like Natco Pharma, Hindustan Copper, Care Ratings and Kewal Kiran Clothing have delivered returns in the range of 45% to 150% over the last 12 months. Apex Frozen Foods and Emmbi Industries underperformed the major indices delivering returns of -9% and 8% respectively.

Note: We will review these stocks and guide our members with buy / sell / hold updates in New Year Portfolio 2024. Our New Year Portfolio 2024 of 10 Small & Mid Caps Stocks will be released on 31st Dec 2023, it will be shared under Hidden Gems / Value Picks / Wealth-Builder service.

We are in process of selecting 10 scrips from universe of small and mid cap stocks which can benefit investors in the
 year 2024. We are confident that these carefully selected stocks can outperform major indices like Sensex and Nifty over next 12 months. 

We will share portfolio of 10 small & mid cap stocks for 2024 on 31st Dec'23 with all our subscribers of Hidden Gems, Value Picks and Wealth-Builder.

We will give the different allocation to each of the scrips keeping in mind the risk versus returns ratio. We will 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 portfolioSaral Gyan Portfolio of 10 stocks for 2024 will also include best of Hidden Gems and Value Picks recommended by our equity analyst’s team during last couple of years.

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. As on date, it is around ~3,00,000 crores. The fact that India is a booming marketplace of 135 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 and 2019 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. Rising ROE or ROE above 15% is necessary to make into the hallowed list of model portfolio.

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

We know 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 return of 20% 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 and mid cap companies that are growing at a reasonable rate of return (15 – 25%). With time and the magic of compounding, you will have your multi-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 10 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, some pharmaceuticals, a pinch of chemical etc will make a balanced portfolio.

Saral Gyan Portfolio of 10 Small and Mid Caps for 2024 will be emailed to all our Hidden GemsValue Picks and Wealth-Builder members on 31st Dec 2023. Portfolio stocks holding period is minimum of one year.
