A passive\u00a0investor (non-executive) imagines himself in different shoes than an entrepreneur. We understand that since the operational\u00a0part of business is not done by an investor, he considers himself different from an entrepreneur. But thanks to stock market mood swings an investor stands to gain almost equal to or just slightly lower return than what an entrepreneur does.<\/p>\n

Let us explain.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We believe that investor almost always tracks \u2018only\u2019 stock price which essentially tells NOTHING. He often discards how the business is doing. We feel that an investor ought to track cash flows of the company from time to time and try to estimate whether it is increasing or decreasing and the levers leading to this change.<\/p>\n

As an analyst (wearing investor hat), we completely ignore stock price movements (read noise). We check stock prices only from intention of adding more stake or trimming the stake rather than checking what we actually earned every month or every quarter from \u201cstock price gains\u201d.<\/p>\n

What does this mean?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We regularly check what price we paid for the business and what kind of profits the company earned. Say, we bought Bajaj Auto at Market Cap of Rs. 48,000 Cr, with cash of Rs. 9,000 Cr and its earned ~ Rs 3,300 Cr free cash flows in FY 16. That\u2019s ~8% p.a. ex-cash (3,300\/39,000) (Not exact\u00a0numbers) [Our interpretation of free cash flows is not accounting FCF but EBITDA-WC(ops.)-Maintenance Capex<\/strong>]\n

Let\u2019s say that over 10 years Bajaj Auto can increase its pricing by 4% every year and experience volume growth of 5% in lines with long term estimated GDP growth rate. Ignoring operating leverage or cost cutting benefits, at 9% CAGR we would get Rs. 7,812 Cr (7,812\/39,000) i.e. 20% return on original investment (Ignore inorganic growth).<\/p>\n

Assuming no tech obsolescence, no further growth in profits, over next another 10 years if it continues to earn 20%, we would average return on our original investment at 16.6% per annum over 20 years.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one hell of a return in an economy which is likely to experience inflation of ~4% p.a. If you feel 16.6% is not great enough, over 20 years it compounds Rs. 1 Lac to Rs. 21 Lacs.\u00a0(Stellar returns despite ignoring exit multiple on terminal year\u2019s earnings; Good management will pay-out excess cash through dividends or tax-efficient buy-back)<\/p>\n

Now if everyone of us starts thinking of a stock as a business, we are likely to be unaffected by stock price swings from time to time. Instead every correction we would start seeing as opportunity and add more stake.<\/p>\n

Hence, we strongly feel that an investor should constantly keep tracking great companies<\/strong> and capable management<\/strong> and bet heavily when they trade at bargain prices<\/strong>. One may stick to select sectors (just like a businessman) if he understands business models of those sectors very well. Sticking to just 50-70 businesses wouldn\u2019t be wrong unless you have an advisor by your side. Warren Buffett has made most of his wealth by investing in Insurance (General\/Re-in), Consumer Durables, consumer staples and consumer\u00a0financial services.<\/p>\n
