Met someone who is a conservative investor, who for decades just did FD. A very wise advisor gradually moved him to equities using hybrid funds like balanced advantage and aggressive hybrid a few years ago.
He’s been sitting on 12-15% and for a long time he has been rightfully thrilled with this. Today he met another investor bragging about making 40% in small caps.
All of a sudden, the investor thinks something is terribly wrong with his returns and the advice and wants to switch to 100% small caps.
Remember:
1. Risk appetite is never understood in bull markets but deep bear markets
2. Personal finance is personal - there can and will be two right answers for two different people. Comparison leads to bad portfolios and an unhappy mind.
What a fantastic birthday gift!!!

Throughout my investing journey, I have learned some crucial lessons, particularly with regard to the significance of identifying honest and capable management teams, promoters, and entrepreneurs for achieving long-term success in the Indian market. The review of management becomes even more vital within the dynamic landscape of mid and small-cap companies, where leadership often serves as the primary driver for growth. We believe that P/E is not only Price/Earnings but “Promoter+ Ethics”.
Over last decade or so we have seen some important shifts in Indian promoters/entrepreneurs. While these trends cannot be generalised, they illuminate some noteworthy shifts:
1. Adept Capital Allocation: More management teams and promoters are now well-versed in the intricacies of capital allocation and the associated costs of equity. They understand that skilful capital allocation is both an art and a fundamental driver of value creation. Concepts like Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE) have gained broader acceptance.
2. Governance and Integrity Focus: As the torch passes to the next generation in leadership roles, we have observed a significant pivot towards enhanced governance and integrity. The bygone era of 'Jugaad' and a relaxed approach to regulatory compliance is giving way to a contemporary landscape that places a premium on adherence to regulations and a prudent approach to taxation. In the coming decade, we envisage the rise of fresh wealth creators, even as some of the established ones may wane due to a lack of passion
within the next generation .
3. Openness to Feedback and Delegation: With the new generation at the helm, there exists a greater receptiveness to feedback from investors and other stakeholders, provided it contributes to improvement. Furthermore, this cohort is more inclined to delegate responsibilities and endorse the owner-professional model, sharing the wealth created with employees through Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs).
4. Optimism About India's Potential: Many of these entrepreneurs harbour an unwavering optimism regarding India's potential, driving them to make bold investment decisions. There is a growing inclination among management teams to play an integral role in India's growth story, eschewing past mistakes of pursuing acquisitions abroad.
5. Emerging Tier 2 and Tier 3 Entrepreneurs: Notably, we are witnessing a surge in passionate entrepreneurs hailing from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The 2023 Hurun list of India's wealthiest individuals illustrates the success stories emerging from cities like Coimbatore, Ludhiana, Rajkot, Nagpur, Surat, and Udaipur. This highlights the need to venture beyond metropolitan areas in the pursuit of new opportunities and identifying next set of wealth creators.
In conclusion, In India, more than the business, what is most important is management. Identifying right set of promoters/ management teams would be critical for investment success.
So true
It’s not how much you earn,
it’s how much you save
It’s not how much you save,
it’s how much you invest
It’s not how much you invest,
it’s how well you invest
It’s not how well you invest,
it’s for how long you invest
It’s not just any of these
it’s all of these
