Mr. Vikas Agarwal, the founder of AIF & PMS Experts Pvt. Ltd., hosted the webinar held by AIF & PMS Experts. Mr. Pramod Gubbi, founder and fund manager of Marcellus Rising Giants Capital, and Mr. Ashvin Shetty were the focus of the webinar. Pramod is in charge of Marcellus’ business development initiatives. He also serves on the Investment Committee, which examines and approves the firm’s investment strategy. Pramod formerly worked at Ambit Capital as the MD and Head of Institutional Equities. Marcellus’ Little Champs strategy has Ashvin as its Portfolio Manager. Ashvin has worked in equities research for over ten years.
Overview
The webinar is quite useful in demonstrating the difficulties that certain small businesses and individuals encounter while investing in long-term AIF funds. Little Champ PMS’s past performance, as well as its growth rate and return rates, which were typically around 45 percent for a few years, were investigated. They are now ready to launch a new fund that will be open to everyone who wants to contribute a small amount. Mr. Pramod Gubbi outlines his investment philosophy and goals to AIF & PMS expert Vikas Agarwal, and the two engage in an in-depth discussion, answering the most common and significant questions such as who, why, and how.
Investment Philosophy
The mission of Marcellus is to make wealth development simple and accessible by acting as a reliable and transparent capital allocator. Their mindset at Marcellus grew out of Kirby and Thiel’s concepts, which we improved further. Marcellus is a firm believer in generating riches using simple and accessible methods. Marcellus wants to create a system that is honest and trustworthy for its investors. Their investment strategy is built around three main pillars:
Clean Accounting
Clean accounting is the first step in selecting the greatest businesses. Marcellus has aggregated financials for the universe of enterprises over the past six years. Following that, the businesses are ranked and compared. The clean accounting approach is based on Howard Schilit’s “Financial Shenanigans,” a classic treatise on forensic accounting.
Capital Allocation
The next stage is constructing portfolios and maintaining them for the following 10 years with no turnover. This activity is estimated to yield a 20 percent to 30 percent annual return. Portfolios with this level of volatility are similar to those that hold Indian government bonds.
Competitive Advantage
In the final level, firms are judged primarily on their management teams. Marcellus seeks out firms with laser-like management and competitive moats that have grown over time.
The benefits of the aforementioned concept may be observed in their results. With this mindset, compounding becomes a powerful tool. In addition, as explained in the webinar, this practice saves transaction costs and has assisted in avoiding problems.
