Primal Value Fund: My portfolio tracked as a fund

After nearly ten years in the markets, I started tracking my portfolio as a fund this February. The idea was that if I was not making better returns than the index then it is better to invest in index funds and concentrate on other things in life. I started with a NAV of Rs. 10.

The objective of the fund is to outperform the Sensex on a long (3 years plus) term with securities chosen primarily with a focus towards value and mid and small cap. The idea is to have a concentrated portfolio of between 5-12 stocks at any given point in time with a investment horizon of an average of 3 years.

So far, as you can see from the chart, the Primal Value Fund has managed to outperform the Sensex. Sensex return has been 10.04% and the funds return has been 15.54%. So far so good. I will try and update the performance on a quarterly or half yearly basis.

Indian Markets - Crystal ball gazing

Here is what I came yup with by crystal-ball gazing (the crystal ball is now pretty cloudy and filled with dust, but what-the-heck...it sure is some fun to look at it once in a while... Sensex/Nifty will make a dash for the all-time high sometime soon (maybe as early as October end) Either breach it or turn back just short of it. A bout of profit booking follows. Indices go down 10%-15% (back to around 18K-18.5K) Main indices remain sideways for the next couple of quarters. Mid caps move up from now as the last few weeks the valuation gap has widened. Sometime after 2-3 quarters, the next up move starts for the main indices. By that time, PE is down to about 22 (which is still high but certainly not hitting the roof). One point to consider is that the 2008 debacle is still fresh in the minds of most people, and as long as it remains, the sentiment of fear will be there. That will prevent the markets from having a runaway rally or a breakneck fall. I sure hope I am right!!!

Great Quotes

I came across some very nice quotes on the web.  Some were really good and worth repeating. Figure out what the top five most important stuff is, focus relentlessly on that and keep iterating. Less is more. -- Daniel Ek, CEO, Spotify  My personal limit is upto 3 concurrent goals. It gets much much more complicated if it grows more than that. Have 3-4-5 (whatever suits you fine) goals that are top of the list and focus on them wholeheartedly. Don’t let people tell you your ideas won’t work. If you have a hunch that something will work, go build it. Ignore the haters. -- Dennis Crowley, CEO, FourSquare  There will always be naysayers. It's more important to believe in yourself and do what you think is right. End of the day you are only answerable to yourself, and no one else. Follow your gut. it may be wrong, but you won’t regret it if you fail. You’ll regret it if you ignore your gut and fail. -- Sarah Lacy, CEO, PandoDaily  Follow your instincts, but upto a limit. The
