Concerns Expectation of high Interest Rates Expectation of high Oil Prices High Fiscal and Current Account Deficits Geopolitical Tensions Possibility of Liquidity Withdrawals 􀂃 Reduction in leveraged positions 􀂃 Flight to non-risky assets Huge Volatility –A Key Deterrent Case for Investing
Should we invest in equity? If ‘ in-the market ’, possibility of capital loss!!! If ‘ out-of the market ’, possibility of opportunity loss!!! Capital Loss v/s Opportunity Loss Dilemma
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU EARN TO FIGHT INFLATION  - 6% BANK INTEREST – 7% Hence, you have to earn 13% just to stay afloat. Your real gain is the extra that you earn above 13%. Equities gives you atleast 18 – 25% on a conservative estimate.( Moneylender calculation )
Must be DRIVEN BY Your Financial Goals & Your Risk Appetite Hence, Time, Rate of Return & Risk ASSET ALLOCATION DECISION
Success of any Investment Longevity Growth Quality of Growth
i.e. : Which Stocks ? External Opportunities Sustainable Competitive Ability Scalability and Operating Leverage Management Quality and Capital efficiency Price and Value Divergence( What we buy and at what price we buy ? ) What to Invest In ?
What options do we have today ? Investment with Limited Understanding and many uncertainties. So, Our entry pricing must give us a margin of safety Reduce LOSS and EXTENT OF LOSS LONG TERM rather than SHORT TERM
WHY INDIA ??? INDIA is a confluence of CAPITAL EXPENDITURE and CONSUMPTION CYCLE in INDIA is the highest. One of the several booming sectors therefore are: FMCG, Power, Construction and Engineering sector (infra).
When INVESTING Place greater emphasis on Superior Business Models rather than sectors for investing decisions. An Entrepreneur makes an invaluable difference to the investment returns. Eg.: INFOSYS, ADITYA BIRLA NUVO,BIOCON, BHEL Recognise the passion and the skills of the entrepreneur and then believe in the VISION and BELIEFS of the entrepreneur, and above all VALIDATE THE RISKS that may or may not have been perceived by the entrepreneur. Understand the broad drivers of PROFIT & GROWTH.
Drivers for Indian Equities Earnings Momentum Re-Rating Potential Lack of Investment alternatives for India’s growing Savings Larger Aspirations Rising Risk Appetite Equity Participation by Indian & Foreign Investors is still at a fairly nascent stage. Equity Valuations are still far away from their Peak Valuations.
To Summarise Superior Investment Returns are from a combination of  WISDOM and PATIENCE   rather than  INTELLECT & EXPECTATIONS  of  QUICK & HIGH RETURNS .

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Following are some very interesting aspects of his life
He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!    Things were very cheap that time  Encourage your children to invest He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.  One could have bought many things with little savings Encourage your children to start some kind of business
He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence. Don't buy more than what you "really need" and  encourage your children to do and think the same
He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him. You are what you are He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company. Always think how you can accomplish things economically
His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals  for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.  Assign the right people to the right jobs
He has given his CEO's only two rules.  Rule number 1 : do not lose any of your share holder's money.  Rule number 2 : Do not forget rule number 1.    Set goals and make sure people focus on them
He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television. Don't try to show off, just be your self and do what you enjoy doing Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on  his desk.
Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
His advice to young people:  "Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and Remember: Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.  Live your life as simple as you are.  Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel  good.
Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel  comfortable.  Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them  who really in need rather.  After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our  life."
Buffet’s maxims for future guidance (2009) Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current. Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income.. [At least make your Investments get you second earning] Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.
Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; Spend what is left after saving. Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave. Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking. Auditing: Beware of little expenses; A small leak can sink a large ship.
Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [Have an alternate plan ready] Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
"The HAPPIEST people DONOT necessarily have the BEST of all.  They simply APPRECIATE what they find on their way” Let us choose the way to live
Power of Equity Unbelievable but it has happened
Just imagine… • How much can you make in 26 years by just investing Rs.10,000 initially in any of financial instruments ? Take a wild guess ??? Let us look at the real example…
If you have subscribed in 100 shares of ________ company with a face value of Rs. 100 in 1980… • In 1981 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  200 shares • In 1985 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  400 shares • In 1986 company split the share to Rs. 10 = you have  4,000 shares • In 1987 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  8,000 shares • In 1989 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  16,000 shares • In 1992 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  32,000 shares • In 1995 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  64,000 shares • In 1997 company declared 1:2 bonus = you have  1,92,000 shares • In 1999 company split the share to Rs. 2 = you have  9,60,000 shares • In 2004 company declared 1:2 bonus = you have  28,80,000 shares • In 2005 company declared 1:1 bonus = you have  57,60,000 shares
At the end of 2005… • You have  57,60,000 shares of the company Any guess about the company ?  (Hint : Its an Indian company) Any guess about the present valuation ?
The result of  ‘Power of Compounding’ Your present valuation is about Rs. 200 Cr.+ & The company is  ‘ WIPRO ’
Other such examples… CIPLA Investment of Rs. 10,000 in 1979 will fetch Rs. 95 cr.+ INFOSYS Investment of Rs. 10,000 in 1992 will fetch Rs. 1.5 cr.+ RANBAXY Investment of Rs. 1000 in 1980 will fetch Rs. 1.9 cr.+
