PMS Bazaar's video: Secrets Behind Chart Topping Returns - Deepak Shenoy Amit Jeswani Rakshit Ranjan V Jayaram

One of the most common points of argument between investors is which style is winning more these days. In our special panel discussion of secrets behind chart topping returns, there was a healthy mix of performers with unique investment styles viz. Momentum, Value, Growth and Blended. The session moderated by Mr. Deviprasad Nair of ICICI Prudential PMS saw the active participation of best-performing managers in the form of Mr. Deepak Shenoy, Founder & CIO, Capitalmind, Mr. Amit Jeswani, Founder, Stallion Asset, Mr. Rakshit Ranjan, Founder & Portfolio Manager, Marcellus and Mr. V Jayaram, CIO, Joindre Capital. Mr. Deepak Shenoy, Founder & CEO, Capitalmind Talking about Momentum style, Mr. Deepak said that stocks that tend to show momentum have strong price increases accompanied by strong volumes and this behaviour seems to get retained for some time. There may not be an easy explanation for it, but Capitalmind has developed an algorithm based purely on quants. Mr. Deepak said by putting some filters in place so as to avoid too small counters or thin volumes, the strategy aims to enter and exit momentum driven stocks. In this way, a few stocks of the portfolio will give supernormal returns and a few of them will top out, which means if you win only half of the time, you tend to gain substantially. Mr.Amit Jeswani, Founder, Stallion Asset Mixing humour with pragmatism, Mr. Amit Jeswani shared that last year portfolio returns were driven by the Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman cutting the corporate tax rates and this year the U.S. Federal Reserve doubling its balance sheet has helped burnish portfolio gains. The only way to escape a bubble is to create an even bigger bubble, Mr. Amit quipped. Revealing that his firm’s portfolio is divided into 4 main sectors viz. Consumers, Pharma, Financials and Technology, Mr. Amit showed how Consumers and Pharma protect the downside while Financials contribute when there is upside. Stressing that he is a Growth Investor, Mr. Amit looks for companies with 15-20% CAGR growth potential. Mr.Rakshit Ranjan, Founder & Portfolio Manager, Marcellus Mr. Rakshit Ranjan disclosed the secret sauce behind how his firm’s winning strategy continues to consistently compound returns. First and foremost, their portfolio holds stocks of companies that sell day to day essential products and services across the spectrum, Mr. Rakshit said, adding that this gives the stock basket low volatility. On top of this, the stocks selected belong to companies who have built very strong barriers to entry around them, which helps these companies benefit more when there is a broader disruption or macro challenge compared to when there is euphoria all around. Mr.V Jayaram, CIO & Fund Manager, Joindre Capital It is well-known that Value Investing hasn't been delivering the goods like it used to. Even in this environment, did it take something special from Mr. V Jayaram to deliver stellar returns? Not really. The approach to stock valuation is from an entrepreneur’s perspective i.e. as owner of the business rather than a short-term speculator’s perspective, said Mr. Jayaram. Next, it needs to be clearly understood that in the short term the markets can behave irrationally and at such times the stock price has no relation to its actual worth. As long as the focus is on intrinsic value, long term growth potential and stability of earnings while doing stock selection and selection based on current market fad is avoided, success will come, Mr. Jayaram added.
