[@bhaskardeb8195]

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 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.

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.

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 :)

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.

[@shankarnath]

Thank you! Glad you found the video and its content useful and informative

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.

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 .

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.

Pay dividends, buy back stock or invest elsewhere..all are not the real purpose for you to invest in a stock..

[@shankarnath]

Thanks, glad you found it useful

[@thomas2182]

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….

[@shaundias4369]

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

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.

[@shankarnath]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Koushik101]

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.

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

[@kosherspirit]

@@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. 🙂🙂

[@shankarnath]

@@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 KZbin rules & algorithm) requirements, b) the viewers (their topic needs & engagement) c) me (burn-out, growth & monetization) Sorry for the long note.

[@kosherspirit]

@@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.

[@josephalex.1911]

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)

[@shankarnath]

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.

[@anilsreedhar1973]

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.

[@shreyasjejurkar1233]

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.

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?

[@shankarnath]

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.

[@abhijitdebnath9811]

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.

[@shaileshbhalavat5921]

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

[@arghamukherjee2969]

I think many diy investors can easily beat Marcellus’s consistent compounder just doing simple sip with a right asset allocation among nifty 50 index fund , mid cap index fund and low expense small cap fund like Tata or Canara.

[@shankarnath]

Interesting. Is there a particular strategy you've come across and any supporting data around it? If available, pls share. Thanks!

[@arghamukherjee2969]

@@shankarnath I began my SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) investing journey in November 2018. Since then, I have made several mistakes, such as investing in too many funds and purchasing regular plans. However, amidst these mistakes, I have also made a few correct decisions. I have been regularly investing in 3 or 4 funds, namely Mirae Asset Large Cap Funds, Mirae Asset Emerging Funds, Kotak Flexicap, and SBI Small Cap. One strategy that worked well for me was increasing my investments in Mirae Asset Large Cap Funds whenever the market experienced a decline. This approach helped me achieve a return on my equity portfolio of over 16%. Interestingly, when I benchmarked my investments against the Nifty 50 index, I still observe a return above 14%.

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?

[@shankarnath]

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

[@bloodthirstyworks]

@@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

[@shankarnath]

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.

[@bloodthirstyworks]

@@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.

Quant AMF mutual Funds is more than enough to get 20 plus CAGR in long term.. believe in Quant untill Sandeep Tandon is in charge 😅😅❤

[@ANJANCHAKRAVARTI-on2qh]

Their problem is buy at any cost which can land you into a long period of zero or negative return

[@uddhavakrishna]

If that is not the case, people will not put in money round the year to them. If we invest individually we can take care to invest only when stocks are priced lower. But they are right too in the sense that since they are most of the times focussed on 10-years or longer period of time for real returns, this does not matter in that horizon. Also we cannot time the market, strictly speaking. But less strictly speaking we can take guesses.

[@AS-mc8sl]

@@uddhavakrishna sure one can't time the market. But one can, in one's investment approach. marry fundamentals with valuations. This "buy at any price" approach seems naive. One needs to look at the Nifty Fifty experience of the 70s US markets to realise how wrong it can go

[@praveenrapeti23]

May be process is good. But, not so great in generating return. Many investors exit from PMS in 2024

[@gouthamkondapavuluru1959]

Marcellus team guy some Ranjan or shetty told in a webinar that usually equity is for 7 years but for us we just need 3 years. But from this video looks like they did not do so great in 3 years
