Yes, Saurabh Mukherjee is a fantastic storyteller and there is indeed lor to learn from his perspective.. and yes he is a great salesman 😉 While I like most of your content for their richness and presentation, this was one of the better ones. Decoding a celebrity PMS like Marcellus that too in such crisp and balanced manner, kudos to you and your team 👏👏👏
I am proudly replicating Marcellus portfolio, to make "50 lakh", then I would outsource my 50 lakhs to Marcellus to invest. Thanks for sharing your insights.
You are the most thorough, sharp and unbiased presenter for very small but educated investors like me My regards to your efforts You are my guide, philosopher
My family is invested with Marcellus , and since they are so transparent , we almost copy paste their portfolios and mix and match their various portfolios. So far it's been great, doesn't confuse retail investors like most finfluencers who just make content for the sake of it. While Marcellus is saying pretty much the same thing over and over may be boring to keep hearing but it absolutely works
Glad to hear that, Klinton. I liked the copy-paste point .. as more people copy-paste Marcellus' portfolio, it helps Marcellus immensely as it ups the value of shares even more
I have attended saurabh mukherjea's session and he is indeed a very captivating speaker. It was right after the vent that he quite ambit capital and launched Marcellus capitals. I remember him speaking about big currency notes getting pulled out of the economy soon( had'nt happend by then) so he does have ears in the right places. thank you for the video- very insightful.
Most welcome, glad you found it informative. I'm planning a sit-down with the Marcellus team sometime next quarter (maybe with Saurabh himself), if you have some penetrative questions you'd like me to explore, then please do let me know. Thanks!
Thanks for making video. have invested in their CCP strategy since Oct 2021. I like their research and transparency very much. I like their every thesis despite BAAP.
I have been watching your videos for a long time to get unbiased and data-rich presentations. After that, you started your own channel, and as soon as I saw it, I subscribed and turned on notifications. You present any topic so impressively that it deserves a lot of praise. For someone like me, who is a noob, has limited time and capital, your every video is highly educational. If you could provide support on smallcases or portfolio management for general low-capital investors like us, it would be very helpful.
Thank you Rajesh ji for your continued patronage and for your kind appreciation & encouragement. I am glad you are finding my videos useful and improving your investing skills
Sir ... big thanks for making this video. Just as a topic for research or next video - how about which strategy is better , individual stock picking vs mutual fund vs Index investing. I know it is not that direct but given your style of breaking question components into parameters, historical data, references to big guys and decision making objectivity, you can come up with yet another great finfluencing video.
You are correct Sourav is a great storyteller. I listened to him very carefully and created a portfolio of my own of 19 stocks after my analysis. I believed in each of his word except valuation . Slowly I build my position in those companies and recently when they fell by big margin I invested a lot on to those . Now I have started seeing a good return and hopefully in future I will compound in great manner .
Hi Shankar, I found your video to be very professional and the choice of words used to explain difficult concepts were spot on. You have given an unbiased review on Marcellus based on facts and keeping the popular opinion away without sounding judgmental. Keep up the great work. You have earned a subscriber.
Thank you very much for your kind appreciation, Ram Prabhu. Do watch other videos on my channel .. some of them are really informative and in the course of researching, I was able to adapt many of these to improve my own investing practices.
Hi Shankar, Many Congratulations! I found your presentation very meaningful, to the point and succinct. Have already liked and subscribed to it and am now looking forward to following you to learn more about the subject! God Bless YOU!😊
Like your ending, "Suno sab ki, par karo man ki". Following Marcellus methodology is easier said than done, need the 50 LAKHS & not everyone can copy it. They will also defnitely buy stocks based on their clients total investment amount & investment horizon. I have only one of their reccommended stock GMM Faudler which actually goes inversely vs NIFTY. When the daily P&L for GMM is green, my other stocks & MFs are in red :)
I generally agree Sourabh ideology, to have neat and clean company, ROCE and revenue growth of 10% seems fair for 10 years horizon , except the valuation perspective which fairly important. Rather I would look for Fairly valued than looking for cheaper and expensive valuation, like buffet bought Coca Cola in 1989 , bought great company at Fair valuation than looking for fair company at cheaper valuation….
Superb, great insight on something i was trying to understand over last 3-4 years. While from outside it seemigly look an investment with higher ROI, in reality it may not be, at least no just yet. But their approach, values/principles are top notch. Big fan of both you and Saurabh Mulherjea. Very enlightening ! Thank you 🙂🙏
One more great session from you Shankar. Really impressed with your data points and also wonder how you pick the right topics which suits for everyone. A big salute to your hard work.
Thank you so much, Gopi for your kind appreciation and encouragement. I try to think like a beginner-plus user and ask myself the question - "What would I like to know more about?". That way even when I pick a simpler topic like say Gold or PPF, I still learn 4 to 5 things which I didn't know about before I started research.
I read his book recently.. But I don't believe buying a stock at any price Previously I had read parag parikh Who buying a company with a triple digit is investing on future cashflow Or future valuation in the present time Which is dangerous A growth of a company can be capped at certain unlike that of colgate, my saying buying a company cheap valuation makes u alot of money But I read his diamond in the dust And few good take on it too
I have read nearly all the books of Saurabh but I find a lot of hot air in it. The books seem to have been written as a part of the marketing campaign for Marcellus. He has himself sold some companies after singing paeans of glory about them. I am averse to using strong words so I would say he perpetuates a disingenuous air.
People have made hot air of it. But if you ask me, the thinking of marcellus is pretty straight forward and easy. And hence because of which many people think it won't work. Because people love to see complicated things compared to simpler things. There is no point comparing their portfolio with nifty because none of them have gone anywhere. But if you compare the fundamentals of marcellus as compared to nifty those are pretty strong and moated. But again the cost here is the volatility because it's 15 vs 50.
I requested for a video about PMS' like Marcellus and sage one when you were making videos for ETmoney channel 🙌 Even if Marcellus may not be perfect I like them for letting me know importance of financial statements of a company
Thank you for the insight into Marcellus Portfolio performance Shankar. Saurabh is one of the guys I follow closely and his growth story always scares me. The rich getting richer and eating up the rest others' share in the process..
Another great video and totally worth the time and wait. This is the first time I have seen someone taking a neutral (and a slightly critical) stance on Marcellus 😀 It would be great to have an interview with the man himself - Saurabh Mukherjea - on this channel. And it would be interesting to see how handles questions around FCF, buying at high PE, valuations etc. My own experience with Marcellus : I have had couple of calls with their sales team, but what the dampener was in the last five years,as you rightly pointed out their CCP's CAGR is not as impressive as it is marketed (plus they take their own cut which further eats up the returns). However, I am still deliberating (as I am onboard with their philosophy) and videos like this will help fence-sitters one way or the other.
The Marcellus team did connect with me after watching the video & also liked it. They've invited me for a sit-down when I am next in Mumbai. Will surely want to interview Mr. Mukherjea and ask some pressing questions. I'll ofcourse source it collectively and would want all viewers of my channel to send their questions aswell
Marcellus is very helpful to choose stocks for retail investors. I have many of its stocks but I buy when they get corrected. Like divis alkyl, tarson hdfc etc. Though I bought lal path in higher valuation and now its in loss
I did the same. I bought divis and lal path labs. But with small positions. small positions helped me in lower the avg value and now those two stocks are green for me.
Really appreciate this video! I learnt a lot from Marcellus webinars but i do agree there are questions on their approach and around valuations. Recently i've also become more interested in quant based approaches (First Global PMS which has been a top performing PMS on risk adjusted basis and Quant Mutual fund which has also been performing well in the last few years). Do consider making a video on that :)
My take is (1) well known stocks with high liquidity go up in share price since mutual funds keep on pouring retail money every month, (2) not so well known (mostly small and microcap) stocks with less liquidity are chased by some PMS and smart buyers and the share price move up astronomically due to this illiquidity. Hence, if you are doing some sort of swing trading for yearly 15-20 percent in category 1 stocks, you will be having good sleep at night. But if you want to make quick money, then category 2 type stocks are for you, only thing is you have to be on your toes with company updates, insider news (which is next to impossible for a retail) etc. Hence, my strategy is buy category 1 when they are near 200 DMA and sell at booking 15-20 % gains. Buy category 2 in upward trend only. Don't average down, rather average up. Buy high, sell higher. That's it. For compounding, stick to good mutual funds. Book profits from direct stocks and put in that money in your mutual funds along with regular SIPs.
Could u make a video about true beacon founded by the Kamath brothers. Is it wise to invest in true beacon. They advertise themselves as a hedge fund. I need ur insight on this.
While a lot has been said about saurabh mukerjea and air blown by him, he should be given adequate credit for the good calls also. I came to know about trent from him and what a return it has given
Is it not better to get into a well managed 2-3 funds instead of PMS, even if 1-2% lower return also; It gives flexibility, simplicity, tax advantage, governance, less dependence of single person and their boutique ways , clearly the upside potential vs a good fund is limited (max 2%) for which you get many benefits, after seeing more inclined to 5 good funds of 10lacs (vs 1 *50lacs)
Hi - every product has its pros and cons .. and every individual has their own view of looking at it. For instance - I know someone (a relative actually) who looks at financial products in terms of "incentives" i.e. are the goals of the product manager aligned with mine. Now in case of MF, the fund will take its 1% irrespective of the outcome. So your fund has reduced your corpus from 50 lakhs to 40 lakhs .. well no problem for the AMC, it will still take 1% of 40 lakhs i.e. 40,000 rupees as fees. But many PMS offer a variable setup i.e. if they don't earn atleast 6% on your capital i.e. +3 lakhs, they won't take any fees. So for my relative, this is a more comfortable model which is why she has put in almost 40% of her corpus in a couple of PMS funds. So different strokes for different folks.
Thanks Shankar for this video. As a natural progression, can u pl make another video on the possible fund allocation % for Marcellus's portfolios explaining how to go about doing it?
SM created the framework at Ambit capital.. and he would have taken it to the next level in his fund but the fundamentals remain the same. It would also be nice to learn what ambit has in its emerging portfolio. You had covered the 10 bagger portfolio. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your valuable information 🙏 Please do video on IT stocks for long term and do add some information on FSL amd Birla soft stocks holding for long term. Thank you
Most welcome. I have done a sector analysis on the IT Services industry; I'm certain you'll find it useful in evaluating IT-BPM stocks. Link: ruclips.net/video/YaHdk3z_znM/видео.html
Since they have offloaded ITC company has given 2.5x returns.. whatever they say they must be repenting.. if in portfolio it would have given amp up to returns by atleast 1 to 2%
Hi Shankar, your videos are very insightful and data driven. Thank you for the same. Is it possible to do a video on top Portfolio management services with a comparitive analysis, will be very helpful.
Very informative and structured video..thanks Shankar. am not convinced with free cash flow focus. Many cases it shows company doesn't have further growth possibility. Its lots of cash in their hand, cash is trash.. what a business will do with extra money? Pay dividends, buy back stock or invest elsewhere..all are not the real purpose for you to invest in a stock..
Can you make video on stock specific contradictions in marcellus portfolio , they go against their own principles which makes copying portfolio risky Like GM faulder innlittle champ has history insider trading which saurabh mukherjee never tells
A fundamentally strong stock with 15-20% growth expectation over next 5-10 years with reasonable valuation. But the problem is it has less than 5% holding of public. Rest 95% is with FII, DII, and Promoter. And most importantly, FII and DII holding is increasing QoQ. Should I invest? I'm talking about defence stocks like HAL,BEL.
Hello Shankar, I'm your junior (2016/18) batch from MDI 😊 I've also been studying Marcellus since 2019. I love your content, can you do a video on start ups which have IPO'ed recently like Zomato, Paytm and others which are also planning for the same? Funds like Marcellus wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, so should the retail investor stay away? Your thoughts abouts investing in IPOs in general?
Hello Adwait ji. I don't invest in IPOs either. The capital raise is generally when retail investors like myself have the least information while the offloading promoter has tweaked the metrics to suit the sale.
Loved watching your videos as always it is deep analysis with professional presentation. It would be great if you can do similar analysis of few promising companies.
One Q How’s that while Marcellus is transparent about Stocks - tells the world 🌎 which portfolio has which Co s? While other PMS closely guard their portfolio. How?
There is a theory around this. Let's say you (the fund manager) have bought a million shares in a stock at say, 100 rupees. Now, its in your interest to say goody-goody things about that stock in the hope that another 3 or 4 million shares get bought by others (who may not be your clients but are influenced by you). As a result, the value of your purchase (100 rupees) goes up to say, 120 rupees. In essence, your "transparency" is to your advantage.
@@shankarnath I do have similar thoughts. Recall the initial years of Microsoft, and Windows. Most opted for pirated versions of OS. Any up dating revealed it’s pirated. MS knew but as most became used to Windows and Office, most other bought them.
Hello Nath sir, I have been a subscriber for a while now, your content is really amazing and to the point, only one advice I would like to give you is please ask to subscribe either at the very bigging or the end of the video also I know you would be getting sponsorships soon, in order to promote anything in the middle of the video please make it a smooth and seemless intigration so audiences doesn't really realise that you are promoting something you may or may not tell them but don't make them realise it. Please acknowledge with a heart if you do find my comments helpful. Lots of love and support.
Excellent video once again. Huge thanks. For your next video please consider covering that for a retail investor is it better to go the MF / advisor route or personally pick stocks and buy/sell them for the long term. And how can a investor beat the market by investing for the long term. Thanks so much.
Hi Shankar, If I have to invest in Marcellus they have many such funds which one to choose for creating long term wealth and through which platform we should invest
Hello Gourav - this can be best answered by the Marcellus team itself. I think they do a risk profiler with all their clients and depending on that plus your goals, outlook etc., they'll suggest you the ideal fund. They have just 6 funds and each of them seem quite distinct.
Pls do a video on PMS vs Index funds vs MF with good rating and returns. Do calculate the administrative fee plus margins that the PMS firm charges for performance. Not to forget the LTCG and STCG that the investor has to pay every time the fund manager churns the portfolio. Lets arrive at, how much does PMS returns need to be, to beat Index MF and High performing MFs after deducting the above costs
Hi Sankar, Thanks for such a informative video. I am replicating marcellus CCP porfolio by going through their newsletter and presentation. In one of their presentation i found that the CCP portfolio has given around 18% CAGR since insception but in your video it is mentioned that the CCP portfolio has given return around 13%. Which is the correct data. Is it fine to replicate marcellus ?
Most welcome. The performance of CCP changes every month. I took these numbers from the March 2023 presentation (I have attached the link in the video's description). For even more updated info (i.e. 30th April 2023), pls refer to marcellus.in/wp-content/uploads/Marcellus_CCP_Deck_with_Fact_Sheet_Regular.pdf (you can find the performance data on slide 18 .. CCP return since inception is 14.9%)
Great video sir ,great content ,if interested can i know your opinion whether Focus funds can be poorman's PMS ? AMCs like IIFL , Motilal oswal , Nippon , Invesco , Aditya birla ,Kotak their Focus fund's portfolio looks similar to their Signature PMS portfolio, or is it better just stick to plain vanilla flexicap fund , your opinion would be highly helpful sir
Thank you. Apologies, I haven't looked at focus funds. For a better understanding of the way I look at my equity portfolio, please watch ruclips.net/video/bN5QdxY3RVs/видео.html
Saurabh Mukherjee talk well. However none of their funds are matching market returns. I am member of one such little champ portfolio for 3 years. While the bench mark has compounded at 40% and the PMS at 20%. The pms charging 20% performance fee above 10%. Hence huge underperformance is qualifying for performance fee. Of course as per contract
Very nice analysis. Please can you also do such analysis on Quant Mutual Fund? They also have some theories which they follow while finding stocks, entry and exit.
No, not currently. I'm unable to figure out how I can add value on a consistent basis using the "members" program. If you have ideas or if you've seen a good member channel, then please let me know. Thanks!
@@shankarnath Frankly speaking, they dont do much apart from sharing some info about a certain part of their portfolio in the name of entry and exit strategy. Some stock specific advisory/consultancy if asked by a member. Thats it. You are doing good keeping it free. Your videos are very very elaborate, comprehensive and with top notch research. Content is pretty saleable, but then, everybody should not be there to sell his/her knowledge. Keep it free for some time. Money will find you through a different route. Keep rocking. You will certainly grow very big as a youtuber. 🙂🙂
@@kosherspirit Thanks for the kind appreciation. 1. I'll look at some sort of membership once I've figured what value I can add & how. For instance, I am now on video number 61 (long format videos) for my channel and atleast 30 of the videos are such where there is a lot of data involved that needs to be updated so that members can take advantage of it at the right time. Plus as I read more & my interactions with other players grows, I am receiving more actionable information such as special situations, possible frauds etc. that can be very useful for members. I don't think I am ready to do membership program yet but as a principle, I believe -- "Learning should be free but one should pay for research". 2. Recently, a fellow content-creator said something in Hindi & I'm paraphrasing here -- "free & love mix well". So essentially, as long as content is free there is a lot of love. The moment there's a paywall, the love decays a bit. This is just conjecture for me as I haven't tried a paywall but at some point, this might happen and it will be interesting to see how the world shapes up around me. You're right, my trade-offs are tougher as I have to take care of three players in my game --- a) the platform's (like RUclips rules & algorithm) requirements, b) the viewers (their topic needs & engagement) c) me (burn-out, growth & monetization) Sorry for the long note.
@@shankarnath I ll be the first one to grab the membership. If possible, try covering macroeconomic aspect of investing such as Fed rates, inflation, asset classes, industrial production, monetary n fiscals etc etc....and a little work on nifty and other indices technical levels. A credible work is lacking in these areas. Akshat Shrivastava is doing fine work but still i find there is a gap .
hi, great data based videos... Can you please make a video around stock market index growth in relation to the change interest rates and more how money flows into and out of MFs based on the interest rates.
That statement about Titan isnt true right. Titan started compounding heavily after it entered the jewelry business in 2000. They purchased gold at a lower price and were able to get excellent margins. This could have been predicted right?
Actually, the margins were not good at all. To give it in segmental numbers, the jewellery business margins were just 4%. However the good part was that the revenue had grown by 30% over two years. But 2 years of data is not enough to predict the next 20 years for any business which is exactly what the value investors are saying
@@shankarnath Ah got it... Ty for the info. However it was my understanding that their ability to buy gold at a cheaper price allowed them to create higher future cash flows than their competitors. In either case, wouldn't the ability of 1 sole company that was able to have cheaper input costs than others along with the reputation of the Tatas be enough to speculate about their future potential? Or is my thinking just disastrously wrong? Lol
If Titan is buying gold at a cheaper rate then they would have mentioned it in their annual report or in some forum repeatedly. If you've come across this statement, then you have a point. In my view, it's not wise to speculate in cases where data can explain if the disposition is fact or fiction.
@@shankarnath Sorry i wrote cheaper input cost or buying gold to save time but Titan buys gold on lease and makes the payment only after the gold has been sold based on the previous market price. Because titan is a partnership with the TN govt it gets to do it at a ridiculously cheaper rate effectively giving it a competitive edge. I believe even Saurabh has mentioned about this edge in many of his discussions.
Yes, Saurabh Mukherjee is a fantastic storyteller and there is indeed lor to learn from his perspective.. and yes he is a great salesman 😉

Marcellus is very helpful to choose stocks for retail investors. I have many of its stocks but I buy when they get corrected. Like divis alkyl, tarson hdfc etc. Though I bought lal path in higher valuation and now its in loss
I did the same. I bought divis and lal path labs. But with small positions. small positions helped me in lower the avg value and now those two stocks are green for me.
I really enjoyed the video.
Yay, thank you!
This was a really well done video. Really put Marcellus into perspective.
Glad you found it informative
Great quality of content! Thanks sir.
Glad you liked it. Thank you for your kind appreciation
Amazing work Shankar. Top quality video in terms of both content and the editing and well delivered. Your channel is definitely undervalued 🙂
Thank you very much!
Your insights have sparked my curiosity and inspired me to delve deeper into this subject. 🧐
Glad to hear that Mayank. Wishing you the best
Really appreciate this video! I learnt a lot from Marcellus webinars but i do agree there are questions on their approach and around valuations. Recently i've also become more interested in quant based approaches (First Global PMS which has been a top performing PMS on risk adjusted basis and Quant Mutual fund which has also been performing well in the last few years). Do consider making a video on that :)
Most welcome. I already have a video on Quant mutual fund's (Quant AMC) methodology, do have a look at that
Make video comparing results of various PMS schemes!!
Love to watch and hear your videos that are interesting, fun, informative, easy to understand.
Thank you very much!
My take is (1) well known stocks with high liquidity go up in share price since mutual funds keep on pouring retail money every month, (2) not so well known (mostly small and microcap) stocks with less liquidity are chased by some PMS and smart buyers and the share price move up astronomically due to this illiquidity. Hence, if you are doing some sort of swing trading for yearly 15-20 percent in category 1 stocks, you will be having good sleep at night. But if you want to make quick money, then category 2 type stocks are for you, only thing is you have to be on your toes with company updates, insider news (which is next to impossible for a retail) etc. Hence, my strategy is buy category 1 when they are near 200 DMA and sell at booking 15-20 % gains. Buy category 2 in upward trend only. Don't average down, rather average up. Buy high, sell higher. That's it. For compounding, stick to good mutual funds. Book profits from direct stocks and put in that money in your mutual funds along with regular SIPs.
great to see a detailed video on Marcellus. thanks again
Glad you liked it
I also follow him because he usually do not change his views
Very unbiased View .. thanks a lot sir
Most welcome!
I think the best strategy for the small retail investors is to invest in nifty bees as per Warren Buffett also.
Aur mere pass bhi 50 lakh nahi hai 😁
Thank you. Awesome video.
Most welcome. Glad you liked it!
Really appreciable designed introspective researched content analysis 🙏 about Marcellus
Thank you Parag. Happy to know you found this video and its content informative.
Could u make a video about true beacon founded by the Kamath brothers. Is it wise to invest in true beacon. They advertise themselves as a hedge fund. I need ur insight on this.
Thank you for the suggestion
While a lot has been said about saurabh mukerjea and air blown by him, he should be given adequate credit for the good calls also. I came to know about trent from him and what a return it has given
Very well articulated। Thanks
Most welcome
Kina paisa hai yaar iske paas😂
Great video shankar..
Would love to see you interviewing saurabh in future.
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it
Thank you for another gem of a video!
Most welcome. Glad you found it useful, Sarthak
Is it not better to get into a well managed 2-3 funds instead of PMS, even if 1-2% lower return also; It gives flexibility, simplicity, tax advantage, governance, less dependence of single person and their boutique ways , clearly the upside potential vs a good fund is limited (max 2%) for which you get many benefits, after seeing more inclined to 5 good funds of 10lacs (vs 1 *50lacs)
Hi - every product has its pros and cons .. and every individual has their own view of looking at it. For instance - I know someone (a relative actually) who looks at financial products in terms of "incentives" i.e. are the goals of the product manager aligned with mine. Now in case of MF, the fund will take its 1% irrespective of the outcome. So your fund has reduced your corpus from 50 lakhs to 40 lakhs .. well no problem for the AMC, it will still take 1% of 40 lakhs i.e. 40,000 rupees as fees. But many PMS offer a variable setup i.e. if they don't earn atleast 6% on your capital i.e. +3 lakhs, they won't take any fees. So for my relative, this is a more comfortable model which is why she has put in almost 40% of her corpus in a couple of PMS funds. So different strokes for different folks.
Thanks Shankar for this video. As a natural progression, can u pl make another video on the possible fund allocation % for Marcellus's portfolios explaining how to go about doing it?
Most welcome. Sorry, I didn't understand the fund allocation % part. Can you please elaborate it?
Another great video. Thank you
Most welcome, glad you liked it
Great topic to present... thank you
Most welcome
SM created the framework at Ambit capital.. and he would have taken it to the next level in his fund but the fundamentals remain the same. It would also be nice to learn what ambit has in its emerging portfolio. You had covered the 10 bagger portfolio. Thanks so much.
Most welcome
Thanks Shankar 👍
Most welcome
Thank you for your valuable information 🙏
Please do video on IT stocks for long term and do add some information on FSL amd Birla soft stocks holding for long term. Thank you
Most welcome. I have done a sector analysis on the IT Services industry; I'm certain you'll find it useful in evaluating IT-BPM stocks. Link: ruclips.net/video/YaHdk3z_znM/видео.html
That's 50 lacs thing was spot on
Great one Shankar!! Really even I will get the same feeling..ki Bhai kitna Paisa hai re iske paas😂😂😂
Thank you!
Thanks for your effort to present the needful video
Most welcome 🙌
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Most welcome
Appreciate your input.
Thanks!
Since they have offloaded ITC company has given 2.5x returns.. whatever they say they must be repenting.. if in portfolio it would have given amp up to returns by atleast 1 to 2%
Hi Shankar, your videos are very insightful and data driven. Thank you for the same.
Is it possible to do a video on top Portfolio management services with a comparitive analysis, will be very helpful.
Thank you for the appreciation 🙌 and suggestion
I had invested in Marcellus. But they never performed. Worst PMS. In 5yrs I got 8% returns from Consistant Compounders.
Very informative and structured video..thanks Shankar.
am not convinced with free cash flow focus. Many cases it shows company doesn't have further growth possibility. Its lots of cash in their hand, cash is trash.. what a business will do with extra money? Pay dividends, buy back stock or invest elsewhere..all are not the real purpose for you to invest in a stock..
Thanks, glad you found it useful
A short of billion in the dust... Nice video
Can you make video on stock specific contradictions in marcellus portfolio , they go against their own principles which makes copying portfolio risky
Like GM faulder innlittle champ has history insider trading which saurabh mukherjee never tells
Thanks for the suggestion
Excellent analysis 👏
Thank you!
A fundamentally strong stock with 15-20% growth expectation over next 5-10 years with reasonable valuation. But the problem is it has less than 5% holding of public. Rest 95% is with FII, DII, and Promoter. And most importantly, FII and DII holding is increasing QoQ. Should I invest? I'm talking about defence stocks like HAL,BEL.
Great video and explanation
Thanks!
Paying 3% annually for titan demart ultratech is very wise decison.....fund mangers duty not to lose portfolio rather than generate profit.....
Hello Shankar, I'm your junior (2016/18) batch from MDI 😊
I've also been studying Marcellus since 2019.
I love your content, can you do a video on start ups which have IPO'ed recently like Zomato, Paytm and others which are also planning for the same?
Funds like Marcellus wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, so should the retail investor stay away?
Your thoughts abouts investing in IPOs in general?
Hello Adwait ji. I don't invest in IPOs either. The capital raise is generally when retail investors like myself have the least information while the offloading promoter has tweaked the metrics to suit the sale.
Excellent video Useful
Thanks!
Hello Shankar. Love your videos. Can you do a video on Marathon Trends PMS by Mr. Atul Suri? Their portfolio has been doing really well lately!
I'll try, thanks for the suggestion Daksh ji
Excellent one word 👍
Thanks! 🙌
Better invest in index than in Marcellus. Mix of 50% nifty 50, 30% nifty next 50 and 20% small cap index funds will beat most PMSs
excellent video
Thank you very much!
any mutual fund that resembles the Marcellus portfolio?
Loved watching your videos as always it is deep analysis with professional presentation.
It would be great if you can do similar analysis of few promising companies.
Thanks for the suggestion
One Q
How’s that while Marcellus is transparent about Stocks - tells the world 🌎 which portfolio has which Co s? While other PMS closely guard their portfolio. How?
There is a theory around this. Let's say you (the fund manager) have bought a million shares in a stock at say, 100 rupees. Now, its in your interest to say goody-goody things about that stock in the hope that another 3 or 4 million shares get bought by others (who may not be your clients but are influenced by you). As a result, the value of your purchase (100 rupees) goes up to say, 120 rupees. In essence, your "transparency" is to your advantage.
@@shankarnath I do have similar thoughts. Recall the initial years of Microsoft, and Windows. Most opted for pirated versions of OS. Any up dating revealed it’s pirated. MS knew but as most became used to Windows and Office, most other bought them.
50 lakh is norm set by SEBI to apply for PMS … I should prefer to look ETF option which is conservative and effective.
Thanks for sharing interest concept
Most welcome
Hello Nath sir, I have been a subscriber for a while now, your content is really amazing and to the point, only one advice I would like to give you is please ask to subscribe either at the very bigging or the end of the video also I know you would be getting sponsorships soon, in order to promote anything in the middle of the video please make it a smooth and seemless intigration so audiences doesn't really realise that you are promoting something you may or may not tell them but don't make them realise it.
Please acknowledge with a heart if you do find my comments helpful.
Lots of love and support.
Thank you for the feedback
Excellent video once again. Huge thanks.
For your next video please consider covering that for a retail investor is it better to go the MF / advisor route or personally pick stocks and buy/sell them for the long term. And how can a investor beat the market by investing for the long term. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the suggestion
Can someone share portfolio for Marecllus MeritorQ ?
good work put in
Thanks
Great Video again❤️
Thank you
The problem with SM is he believes My way or the highway….But markets don’t work like that
Hi Shankar, If I have to invest in Marcellus they have many such funds which one to choose for creating long term wealth and through which platform we should invest
Hello Gourav - this can be best answered by the Marcellus team itself. I think they do a risk profiler with all their clients and depending on that plus your goals, outlook etc., they'll suggest you the ideal fund. They have just 6 funds and each of them seem quite distinct.
@Shankar Nath do you know how can I reach them out through proper channel
@@gouravbose8105 Hi, they have a form on their website for sales connect
sir can you make a video on BM's portfolio analysis
Thanks for the suggestion
Pls do a video on PMS vs Index funds vs MF with good rating and returns. Do calculate the administrative fee plus margins that the PMS firm charges for performance. Not to forget the LTCG and STCG that the investor has to pay every time the fund manager churns the portfolio. Lets arrive at, how much does PMS returns need to be, to beat Index MF and High performing MFs after deducting the above costs
Thanks for the suggestion
@@shankarnath nobody talks about the expenses that are incurred with a pms firm. This will be a unique one.
Hi Sankar,
Thanks for such a informative video. I am replicating marcellus CCP porfolio by going through their newsletter and presentation. In one of their presentation i found that the CCP portfolio has given around 18% CAGR since insception but in your video it is mentioned that the CCP portfolio has given return around 13%. Which is the correct data. Is it fine to replicate marcellus ?
Most welcome. The performance of CCP changes every month. I took these numbers from the March 2023 presentation (I have attached the link in the video's description).
For even more updated info (i.e. 30th April 2023), pls refer to marcellus.in/wp-content/uploads/Marcellus_CCP_Deck_with_Fact_Sheet_Regular.pdf (you can find the performance data on slide 18 .. CCP return since inception is 14.9%)
Great video sir ,great content ,if interested can i know your opinion whether Focus funds can be poorman's PMS ?
AMCs like IIFL , Motilal oswal , Nippon , Invesco , Aditya birla ,Kotak their Focus fund's portfolio looks similar to their Signature PMS portfolio,
or is it better just stick to plain vanilla flexicap fund , your opinion would be highly helpful sir
Thank you. Apologies, I haven't looked at focus funds. For a better understanding of the way I look at my equity portfolio, please watch ruclips.net/video/bN5QdxY3RVs/видео.html
Saurabh Mukherjee talk well. However none of their funds are matching market returns. I am member of one such little champ portfolio for 3 years. While the bench mark has compounded at 40% and the PMS at 20%. The pms charging 20% performance fee above 10%. Hence huge underperformance is qualifying for performance fee. Of course as per contract
Very nice analysis.
Please can you also do such analysis on Quant Mutual Fund? They also have some theories which they follow while finding stocks, entry and exit.
Thanks for your suggestion. I already have a video on Quant MF on my channel, pls have a look
@@shankarnath ok, cool... Thanks 👍
Sirji,
Make some videos in Hindi and Marathi Language
Do you have membership plan for channel ?
No, not currently. I'm unable to figure out how I can add value on a consistent basis using the "members" program. If you have ideas or if you've seen a good member channel, then please let me know. Thanks!
@@shankarnath Frankly speaking, they dont do much apart from sharing some info about a certain part of their portfolio in the name of entry and exit strategy. Some stock specific advisory/consultancy if asked by a member. Thats it. You are doing good keeping it free. Your videos are very very elaborate, comprehensive and with top notch research. Content is pretty saleable, but then, everybody should not be there to sell his/her knowledge. Keep it free for some time. Money will find you through a different route. Keep rocking. You will certainly grow very big as a youtuber. 🙂🙂
@@kosherspirit Thanks for the kind appreciation.
1. I'll look at some sort of membership once I've figured what value I can add & how.
For instance, I am now on video number 61 (long format videos) for my channel and atleast 30 of the videos are such where there is a lot of data involved that needs to be updated so that members can take advantage of it at the right time. Plus as I read more & my interactions with other players grows, I am receiving more actionable information such as special situations, possible frauds etc. that can be very useful for members. I don't think I am ready to do membership program yet but as a principle, I believe -- "Learning should be free but one should pay for research".
2. Recently, a fellow content-creator said something in Hindi & I'm paraphrasing here -- "free & love mix well". So essentially, as long as content is free there is a lot of love. The moment there's a paywall, the love decays a bit. This is just conjecture for me as I haven't tried a paywall but at some point, this might happen and it will be interesting to see how the world shapes up around me.
You're right, my trade-offs are tougher as I have to take care of three players in my game ---
a) the platform's (like RUclips rules & algorithm) requirements,
b) the viewers (their topic needs & engagement)
c) me (burn-out, growth & monetization)
Sorry for the long note.
@@shankarnath I ll be the first one to grab the membership. If possible, try covering macroeconomic aspect of investing such as Fed rates, inflation, asset classes, industrial production, monetary n fiscals etc etc....and a little work on nifty and other indices technical levels. A credible work is lacking in these areas. Akshat Shrivastava is doing fine work but still i find there is a gap .
hi, great data based videos...
Can you please make a video around stock market index growth in relation to the change interest rates and more how money flows into and out of MFs based on the interest rates.
Thanks for the suggestion
Never trust those who sell Relaxo at bottom 😂
That statement about Titan isnt true right. Titan started compounding heavily after it entered the jewelry business in 2000. They purchased gold at a lower price and were able to get excellent margins. This could have been predicted right?
Actually, the margins were not good at all. To give it in segmental numbers, the jewellery business margins were just 4%. However the good part was that the revenue had grown by 30% over two years. But 2 years of data is not enough to predict the next 20 years for any business which is exactly what the value investors are saying
@@shankarnath Ah got it... Ty for the info. However it was my understanding that their ability to buy gold at a cheaper price allowed them to create higher future cash flows than their competitors. In either case, wouldn't the ability of 1 sole company that was able to have cheaper input costs than others along with the reputation of the Tatas be enough to speculate about their future potential? Or is my thinking just disastrously wrong? Lol
If Titan is buying gold at a cheaper rate then they would have mentioned it in their annual report or in some forum repeatedly. If you've come across this statement, then you have a point. In my view, it's not wise to speculate in cases where data can explain if the disposition is fact or fiction.
@@shankarnath Sorry i wrote cheaper input cost or buying gold to save time but Titan buys gold on lease and makes the payment only after the gold has been sold based on the previous market price. Because titan is a partnership with the TN govt it gets to do it at a ridiculously cheaper rate effectively giving it a competitive edge. I believe even Saurabh has mentioned about this edge in many of his discussions.
May be process is good. But, not so great in generating return. Many investors exit from PMS in 2024
His story telling is into stocks which may be a good compounder but I do not see the alpha return with Marcellus.
Please make video on Jim simon quant investing concept ❤
Thanks for the suggestion
Please make video on ASK PMS sir.
Thanks for the suggestion
