Moving forward with strategy, not with emotion – our view on investing in Small and Mid Caps at present

His statement “we think it is a clear time to take out lock, stock, and barrel from small and midcap” created quite a stir on social media.  “With great power comes great responsibility” and we endorse the general warning that Naren is dispensing to the price agnostic retail investor.

Stillness, backing a mission oriented promoter and the rewards of good Karma – Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s incredible 340x returns in Inventurus

Inventurus Knowledge Solutions, a company promoted by Sachin Gupta and the late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala in 2006, is expected to list in the next 2 weeks.  The grape vine has the IPO valuation of the company pegged at between 20000-25000 Cr. If we take the mid-point of that range, the original investment has compounded ~ 340x for the Jhunjhunwala family in the last 17 years, an IRR of 41%. This adds to the long list of 100 bagger returns generated by him.

Stillness by deliberate choice. Read More
