MONTHLY PERFORMANCE UPDATE
The month of January was a volatile one for the Indian Markets while most global markets did very well. It was good for our products in general with ourperformance across most product categories. I will write more on the general outlook after the Budget.
LONG TERM INVESTMENT PRODUCTS
TARGET MIDCAP PORTFOLIO
Our flagship Midcap product which invests in 9 selected Midcap companies has done exceptionally since inception. The portfolio held up well during January where we saw extreme volatility and severe sell off in many Midcaps while some performed. The portfolio was down 1.58% while the Midcap Index declined by 2.6% and Nifty by 2.47%. We did not make any change during the month. Last year we outperformed all the Midcap Mutual Fund schemes where the average return of the category was just 2% with the best plan being near 11%. The Midcap Index was up 3.5% during the year. Our value with growth approach has worked well and we are geared towards benefiting from a positive investment and consumption cycle. l. The CAGR returns since inception to around 48%. This is an ideal product for long term wealth generation.
PLATINUM PLAN
Our low volatility steady return Bluechip Portfolio had an excellent month and was up 2.45% the month. We had been holding substantial cash for some time which we largely deployed this month. We target this portfolio as an absolute return one which is tough. The portfolio is up 163% since inception a huge outperformance over the Nifty return of 72%. The targeted outperformance over the Nifty of 5% was achieved during the last few years. This is an ideal low risk portfolio for conservative investors.
WINNERS PLAN
Our small cap Winners Plan did well during 2022 given the extreme volatility in the small cap segment. We have 13 recommendations running in the plan at this stage. The average return of open and closed recommendations during 2022 was 14% which is very strong given that the Nifty 100 Smallcap Index was down 14% and the 250 Index was down 4% during the year. Returns for new clients was better as we helped in the timing of entries into open positions. There is strong value in most of the open recommendations and should do well going forward. As we book profits in some open recommendations we should be able to give new recommendations going forward. Smallcaps will always have volatility but can generate strong returns over the long term. Historically this product has been able to generate several multibaggers and we hope that we can do the same going forward.
UNLOCK GAINS PORTFOLIO
The unlock gains portfolio saw many of the stocks moderate during the month. Nevertheless this 9 stock portfolio has potential and we hope to improve gains going forward. The focus remains on stocks from the reopening theme including hospitality, restaurants, aviation,entertainment etc. This is a fixed term plan of two years in which we expect that the full potential of the stocks of the portfolio will be realized.
SHORT TERM INVESTMENT PLAN
POWER ALPHA STOCKS
The month of January saw one profit booking in the plan and due to the steady decline in the markets we could not get profits in the current open positions. As broader markets steady and perform we should do as well as the last few years.
Power Alpha Stocks our flagship short term investment plan had an exceptional 2022. After the last two years where we generated nearly 70% return on average capital deployed in each of the years 2020 and 2021 this was a tougher year. I was negative during the initial months of the year and we avoided giving new calls and in the interest of investors of the plan we also extended the subscription of clients by upto 2 months as we did not want to generate calls to fill up the numbers when our view was negative. Given global concerns and volatility for most of the year we kept 2-4 open recommendations and in general did not go upto 5 open recommendations. 29 recommendations were closed last year with profit booking in 26, small loss in 2 and relatively bigger loss in one. Assuming a 2 lakh investment per recommendation the profits in 2020 were Rs 420000, in 2021 Rs 400000 and this year Rs 278000. The ROI on average capital deployed of Rs 6 lakhs was over 45% for 2022 which is huge given the context of the markets this year, even on Rs 8 Lakhs the returns are over 35%. This is an ideal product for deploying idle funds to generate ALPHA.
The beauty of this product is that if you keep your capital constant then in general over the last many years the entire capital has become free in 3-4 years. January call closing was as below
TRADING PRODUCTS
ONLY FOR TRADERS
Only for Traders our short term trading product had another strong month following a strong December. The profits on one lot basis was Rs 51500 and Rs 103000 for those trading two lots per recommendation. This is very strong performance in a very tough month. In an ideal situation we could have 8 positive and 4 negative return months. We will look towards lesser volatility in monthly returns going forward.
POSITIONAL TRADING CALLS
Positional Trading Calls our longer term trading product had relatively less activity with one profit and one loss booking. Overall loss was Rs 13500 on one lot trading basis and Rs 27000 on two lots. Good part about trading products is that a couple of good months can take care of few months of underperformance and sub par returns as we saw with only for traders in December and January. In a trading product we will always have 4-5 good months, 4-5 average months and 2-3 poor months every year. The challenge is to keep the poor months with less losses than the profits of the good months. In the year 2023 our attempt will be to cut down the volatility in performance of both the trading products.
