This portfolio will participate in the megatrends that have and will emerge over the next decade. Again, we do not want to buy cheap stocks but buy stocks that will become cheap due to growth in the underlying business.

We will completely avoid absolute illiquid small caps which have entry and exit issues. Those stocks are like Abhimanyu easy to get in and almost impossible to exit.

A concentrated portfolio of 12 stocks is enough to beat the underlying bench mark (Nifty 50).

We will invest across sectors and market caps. Weightage will be 50% above or below the simple formula (100/No. of stocks).

So if we have 12 stocks:

•  the maximum weightage will be 50% above 100/12 = 8.33% = 12.50%

•  the minimum weightage will be 50% below 100/12 = 8.33% = 4.17%

Our investment philosophy over the years has been to identify high growth stocks which are sector leaders and have the potential to grow earnings at a very fast pace with high return on equity. They have been quality franchises with good management.

Some of our wealth creating ideas in the past have been Page Industries, Pantaloon Retail, DMART, Gruh Finance,Titan, Bajaj Finance and Canfin Homes.

As a confidence boosting measure, we want to do a SIP of 10 lakhs per month into our small case. We want to show the world that we believe in what we preach.
