The concept of shameless cloning, popularized by Mohnish Pabrai, involves replicating successful investment strategies of renowned investors. This video introduces a framework for creating a "shamelessly cloned portfolio" by identifying investable ideas from top investors' holdings disclosed under SEBI's 1% plus shareholding pattern rule. For this purpose, I have picked marquee investors like Vijay Kedia, Ashish Dhawan, Mukul Agrawal, Akash Bhanshali, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Madhusudhan Kela, Dolly Khanna, Ashish Kacholia, Sunil Singhania and Anil Kumar Goel. My simulated portfolio, comprising 57 stocks, shows impressive returns of 41.4% annually over the last two years, outperforming market benchmarks and actively managed funds

SN, My take aways 1. We can copy shamelessly the portfolio of selected but their Convictions? 2. Good for people who want to dive in small & micro cap & ready to become self fund manager. 3. May be effective if no of stocks are more in portfolio considering only 1/3 rd last the marathon. 4. Your ability to simplify most complex ,confused & marketing driven fin.products is of great help to average retailers. Thanks for same.

So nice of you, thank you for kind words. Honestly, it's a trick many fall into by measuring a channel on the basis of subscribers. For instance - reaching 1 million subscribers is not that difficult and publishing 1 short a day for 7-8 months or topics like "best mutual fund" will get me there. In my view, this is a problem because in many case, a large non-targeted viewership seeps into the channel and over time, the views start falling. E.g. Rachana (who has done a incredible job over the last 3-4 years) seems to be going through that phase. She's has 48 lakh subscribers, is still clocking 40k subscribers every month but is having only 100k views per day. The reasons can be many although I think it's more of viewer fatigue -- which is something my channel will also go through over time I've been looking at these phases and assessing KZread from a viewer & creator perspective has been helpful. My own read is that -- out of the 150k subscribers I have now or wherever I reach, it will come down to just 5-10k loyal fans who will continue with me & subscribe to the valuable services (like newsletter, community, smallcase etc.) I plan to introduce over the months & years. This suits me perfectly as I want to work with & for a smaller number of patrons and do more for them. Infact, let me close this with something I observed recently. So, I've had around 75 1:1 consultation calls and of the 75, only 8 persons had ever posted a comment on my channel. Which means 90% of the people who paid, discussed & got value from those interactions were a part of the silent majority. If I had assumed that only the ones who comment are the loyalists (much like how everyone says "underrated" and "subscribers"), then I would have been wrong. There's a bigger chunk out there and building a participation loop for them has to be my endeavour
Best channel for investing on youtube. Your ability to simplify complex topics is top notch.

While I personally don’t believe in investing a large corpus outside the major indices, I really like your well researched approach to these active/quantitative investing. I think you should create a few smallcase baskets for novice investors who’ll love to invest in such ideas but have no idea/inclination to research and rebalance regularly. It think could be a good source of income for you as well

7:40 - step 6 query Hi Shankar, thanks for the amazing video. My query is that isnt it obviously impossible to get the same or even nearly same entry point as these marquee investors since those points would hav been crossed long back and gloomy chances of looking back in rallying Nifty scenario? Then what should be the entry/exit points?
@shankarnath
12 күн бұрын
Most welcome. With re: your query and atleast in my case, I didn't care on finding the "perfect" entry point because if I were to even ask Vijay Kedia, Rekha Jhunjhunwala & others -- these investors aren't going to tell me. My mindset is that information is always imperfect (actually true) and I worked this model based on what & when I receive it. However imperfect, this model gave me 41% CAGR over 2 years against the Nifty 50's 12%

You are so underrated! Your content is exceptional, and I resonate deeply with it. I have occasionally emulated investors without hesitation, and it has proven to be successful. However, when I share this approach with others, they often raise concerns about dependency on someone else. While this perspective holds merit, I see no issue in persisting with this strategy. In various aspects of our lives, such as health, career, and law, we rely on expert advice. why not apply the same principle to personal finance? :)
@shankarnath
Ай бұрын
Thank you! I'm glad you liked this video. In my view, the general human behaviour (inspite of what one says) is to a) either work towards an output or b) pay for advice. That's why DIY investing or managed investing via MF, PMS, smallcase, advisor works well. The cloning strategy is outside the scope of both approaches i.e. it doesn't require much work nor is someone pushing us or enforcing a transaction/advice on us. I feel that's why most people think twice before using screeners, cloning and similar approaches. Plus, there is the fear factor point i.e. "what if I am wrong". Which is strange because everyone's relatively OK if "the fund manager is wrong" and we all have a natural recourse in villifying the fund manager or exiting the fund (but beyond that we can't do much)
