“Crystal Gazing Next Decade of Wealth Creation for Investors”

Hosted by : Kamal Manocha, CEO, AdviceSense, PMS AIF WORLD

Speaker : Saurabh Mukhrejea & Team Marcellus

Topic : Financial Services, a threat to some and opportunity to others

Next decade (Year 2020-Year 2030) throws lots of opportunities through financialization of Indian household savings and thus financial services sector becomes all the more important & relevant from the perspective of Investments. Thus, we invited Marcellus PMS team to share their views as it has recently launched a new portfolio – Marcellus Kings of Capital which is focused on Financial Services.

Marcellus Kings of Capital portfolio comprises full spectrum of financial service providers –lenders (banks, NBFCs and housing finance companies), and non- lenders (life insurers, general insurers and asset managers/brokers.

Marcellus Kings of Capital is highly concentrated portfolio 10 to 14 high quality financial companies with clean books of accounts, and a long historical track record of profitable growth and promoters with prudent capital allocation skills.


There are two factors to take watch out for over next 1 Year, and these present decent opportunities for making investments in financial services sector, but by high risk investment objective of 3 to 5 Years.

a) Which lenders will be able to survive through the crisis without any bail-outs?

b) Which lenders will have enough strength on the liabilities side of the balance sheet on the other side of the crisis to help accelerate loan book growth and lead the consolidation of market share once the crisis is behind us?

Team Marcellus with its strong filtration mechanism & investment philosophy is investing in in Kings of Capital - well managed portfolio of lenders & non lenders that stand to benefit in the post COVID India, as froth would be removed and competition would reduce because of Covid related slow-down. Lending business is 60% of the portfolio, and non- lending is 40%.

• The loan book growth will accelerate because of their best quality liabilities franchise.

• Their NPA ratios will fall materially.

• NIMs will expand as these lenders will be able to pick and choose borrowers .


• Earnings will grow at an accelerated pace


The non-lending part of the portfolio adds resilience to the portfolio during times of stress because insurers have a lower beta than lending businesses while asset management and brokerage businesses do not take any balance sheet risk.

What is AI & ML, and its applicability in Wealth Management by a data scientist turned Fund Manager

PART 1

The Difference between Artificial Intelligence(AI), Machine Learning(DL), and Deep Learning(DL) are that Machine Learning is a subset of AI, like a young human learns. And, Deep Learning is a Narrower subset of ML - It uses one of the different methods i.e. Neural networks.

Current stage of development cycle in AI is Artificial Narrow Intelligence. It means AI is outperforming Human Intelligence in few narrow fields. Later stages are AGI and ASI i.e. Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence. And, this is the future of AI but it will take many years to reach there, and Ii will mean, AI beats Human Intelligence in almost all fields of life!

AI started in 1960 and today, some of the technologies of AI are at different phases.

Today business growth is based on technology, not based on geography. This is evident from the fact that in year 2020, out of 10 largest companies worldwide by market capitalisation, 8 are AI based.


AccuraCap Consultancy : Our AI & ML based models have been able to predict the CAGR of various asset classes for next 5 Years to the 86% accuracy. Way Forward for Wealth Management is AI & ML. In Last 10 - 20 years, the ways have remained same in the industry & big disruption is pending..

What is AI & ML, and its applicability in Wealth Management by a data scientist turned Fund Manager

PART 2 ( To understand what is AI & ML - what PART 1 )

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is adaptive as it learns from multiple data points across various factors like – growth, valuation, quality, momentum etc. This learning helps the system understand an economy/asset class/market/security, there are many things that the computers do better than men.

Under AI & ML backed system, the machine learn from 100s of data points and factors to help the system create a view and and suggest actions. This has an edge over how the human brain functions as the machine learns continuously and through multiple sources.


The machine has a more objective memory and remembers the markets reactions across time frame whereas the human mind attaches more importance to recent events and forgets the reaction of markets to previous events.

The artificial intelligence based system due to various learnings from data points and events in markets, understands the usual reaction of markets more objectively. For an example, AI based system was of the view even before Covid-19 that Pharma would do well as multiple levers of growth were supporting it. AI and ML have been improving over the years, however, there’s a long way to go before AI can be a substitute of humans.

In short, the machine has various fundamental data points, as well as momentum data points; it combines both and through this information, the machine constantly learns, and suggest actions, an these suggestions tend to be more accurate than human mind can suggest because human mind has limitations.

Finally, taking cash calls while investing is what human mind gets tempted for, and historical data does point out that taking cash calls does help and remaining always fully invested is not a best approach. But, taking cash calls is extremely tricky and even machine is not equipped to determine that with accuracy, so investors could lose out doing that. Fully invested is also tricky as even that ways investor could lose in short to medium term. The ideal scenario is to do a scientific asset allocation based on time horizon of the investment as well as attitude to risk, and then for the equity portion, look for a basket of stocks along with the credibility of fund manager, rather than trying to time the market. A fine basket of quality businesses chosen and invested at any time should yield returns superior to timing the market, but if held over long term.

"Crystal Gazing Next Decade of Wealth Creation for Investors”

Hosted & Presented by : Kamal Manocha, CEO, AdviceSense, PMS AIF WORLD

Topic : How PMS AIF WORLD is helping Investors Create Wealth? - Ask Kamal Manocha

In general, when investors think of Debt, they first think of low return and then risk, and this where they make mistakes. Ultimately, as investor’s focus is on return while investing in debt, he/she take exposure in credit funds, hybrid debt funds, structured products, NCDs and eventually end up adding a lot of unknown risk to this asset class which is supposed to actually provide security and safety of capital. As per our philosophy, in structuring the debt portfolio, the objective should to reduce risk and not increase returns. So, we do not suggest credit or interest rates or concentration risk and follow a highly diversified approach through well researched high-quality portfolios of low duration debt mutual funds. Such structuring provides confidence to investors to better focus on equity portfolio from where the objective is high returns.

In general, when investors think of equity, they first think of high risk first and then return and this is where they make mistakes. Ultimately, as investor focus is on reducing risk, investors take exposure in every theme(International, Gold, Balanced, Hybrid), every type of fund/portfolio, and eventually ends up owning over–diversified portfolio that grossly underperforms even in long term period of 10 years. As per our investing philosophy, in structuring the equity portfolio, the time horizon is clearly 5 to 10 years, so the objective should be to enhance returns and not reduce risk. So, we follow a less diversified approach through Best PMS & AIF products, along with the Best Focused category of Mutual Funds

We follow a very simple, open-ended approach to building clean debt and quality equity portfolio and then work with clients to ensure they hold such good investments with confidence and high conviction

PMS AIF WORLD's AdviceSense Philosophy Explained in an Equation =

Clean Debt + Quality Equity + High Conviction = Compounding

Clean Debt Portfolio

A Clean Debt means a well diversified portfolio of high rated short duration securities. Mutual Fund is very good structure to achieve this, as it is well diversified, well regulated, highly liquid, and offers tax efficient returns. Just remember, select keeping in mind Safety as prime objective and not return as prime objective.


Quality Equity Portfolio

A Quality Equity Portfolio is the one that is not too much diversified, & still offers the best risk-adjusted returns. With us, this is identified through unbiased selection based on our proprietary analytics. It’s easy to socialise and sell products, which is what most wealth managers do. We’re reshaping the wealth management industry by sticking to basics, in-depth analytics. We maintain insight + integrity and aim at the long term prosperity of clients.t decisions.

High Conviction

It is easy to aspire for a long term horizon when making an investment, but practically very difficult to maintain. With us, this is achieved through our educative super simple & articulate proprietary content. Holding on to the portfolio requires high conviction in the portfolio at all points of time, else, one tends to exit early owing to the traps of emotions or impatience. We ensure our clients make informed investment decisions.
