The harsh portfolio!

Over the past few months, I have made significant changes to my portfolio. In-line with my portfolio allocation strategy, I have simplified the structure into 5 kind of bets (core compounder, cyclical, slow grower, turnaround and deep value). I am sharing the current model portfolio structure.

Core compounder (44%)

Cash is a little bit high at 24% and I am looking to deploy it soon.

The broad changes are summarized below:

  • New additions: Alembic Pharma (4%), Cochin Shipyard (4%), Eris Life (4%), Swaraj Engines (2%).
  • Exits due to valuations: HCL Tech, L&T, Maruti, Suprajit, Nippon asset management, Cera sanitaryware, Wonderla Holidays, Maithan alloys, Cadila Healthcare, Inox leisure, Jubilant Ingrevia, Natco pharma
  • Increased position size: ITC (from 6 to 8%), Avanti feeds (2 to 4%), Amara Raja (2 to 4%), Care ratings (3 to 4%) and Ashok Leyland (from 1 to 2%)
  • Decreased position size: PI Ind (from 6 to 2%), Powergrid (6 to 4%), Ajanta (4.5 to 2%), Ashiana (4.5 to 2%), HDFC Amc (3 to 2%), Nalco (2 to 1%)

Among new positions, I have already shared my assumptions about alembic pharma. I will subsequently add my thesis for Cochin Shipyard, eris life and swaraj engines.
