This is how my portfolio looks after the restructuring. Is this better than before? Thoughts behind the restructuring -
- Reduction in the number of stocks from 22 to more manageable 12.
- Got rid of TCS and increased exposure to INFOSYS since both the companies will probably have similar growth rates in the future. No point in tracking 2 separate companies.
- Got rid of ICICI Bank because of equity dilution concerns/low future EPS growth rates and the pending demerger. I will take a call on demerged entities later. Increased exposure to UTI Bank since I believe this is going to be the 'next' HDFC Bank.
- Removed stocks from capital goods sector like L&T, Thermax, Praj & BHEL because most of the mutual funds I own already have these stocks in sizeable quantities.
- Removed Bharati Shipyard after I learnt that it depends on government subsidies for profitability.
- Removed M&M, Maruti, JP Associates and Madhucon based on devesh's recommendations.
- Added TV 18 and increased exposure to Pantaloon based on Basant's recommendations.
- Got rid of Marico and added Reliance Capital - a play on the insurance and consumer finance sector
