Past Performance - Hidden Gems Value Picks & Nano Champs

Dear Reader,

Saral Gyan team wishes you Happy & Prosperous New Year 2024!

Equities as an asset class has always received step motherly treatment among the various asset classes for Indian households. However, over the last few years, there has been a sea change among Indians who have started increasing their allocations towards equities but still we are hugely under-penetrated and have a long way to go.

If one goes back in time and sees which asset class has given the highest compounding returns, then equities stands out right there in the top. Investing in shares of companies is a time tested way to enhance financial stability in the long run and build wealth. Keeping money in regular savings account or doing FDs is surely not going to make your hard-earned money work and adding some allocation to equities could make that big difference.

A small investment of Rs. 10,000 a month over a period of 10 years can help you create a corpus of Rs. 25 lakhs. Total amount invested over a period of 10 years by you will be Rs. 12 lakhs and you will have a profit of Rs. 13 lakhs. Not Good? This might look less to you as we are assuming returns of 13.5% per annum. If we assume returns of 27% per annum, your corpus will be Rs. 50 lakh and your profits would be more than 3 times of your actual investments that too when you are investing a nominal amount of Rs. 10,000 on monthly basis. Impressive! Right?

You might think that investing in mutual funds could be one of the ways to start SIP (Systematic Investment Plan). However, returns may not be that high which you can generate by directly investing into good quality small and mid cap stocks. Hence, we suggest our members to start SIP by directly investing in stocks every month. What you are supposed to do is to invest your savings in a particular stock once in a month instead of putting it into a mutual fund. Next month, the same amount would be invested in another stock which at that point of time gives you a good medium to long term investment opportunity. This could be an ideal choice for salaried employees as well as businessmen / entrepreneurs, as it will help you to directly invest in fundamentally strong small and mid cap companies to build a diversified portfolio of high quality small and mid cap stocks over a period of time to achieve wealth creation.

Investing in stocks is a great way to build your diversified investment portfolio. It is a simple and time tested approach for accumulation of wealth in a disciplined manner. Simply get some savings from your monthly income and invest in equities for the long term. It not only allows you to save every month in a disciplined way but also helps you ride through ups and downs of the stock market.

Invest some portion of your monthly income in good companies without timing the stock market and you will definitely get rewarded in the long run.

Just take care of Basic Principle of Investing in Equities:

1. Invest in the stock market with a long term view (3 - 7 years or more).

2. Invest in companies which are fundamentally strong with scalable business.

3. Follow a disciplined approach by Investing regularly in equities.

4. Build a diversified portfolio by investing in small & mid cap companies.

5. Avoid frequent buying / selling of stocks, It's trading not Investing!

6. Review performance of your holding companies at least once a year to decide whether to buy / sell or hold.

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 portfolio. Saral 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 Gems, Value Picks and Wealth-Builder members on 31st Dec 2023. Portfolio stocks holding period is minimum of one year.
