Value Investing :What it is and why you should do it ?

"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." -  Warren Buffett

Investing is very dicey topic especially in today's world when lots of information keeps flowing around; be it online, on television , newspaper, or any other media source. Primary objective of investing is capital creation and thereby increase income generating assets. Stock market/Equities come to our mind when we think about investing in risky asset. Stock market has fascinated everyone, but not everyone has been able to make money out of it.

Two things can be done in Stock Market : Trading or Investing

Time and again it has always been proved that it is the investor who makes money and not the traders in the long-term.The logic is very simple, to be successful in trading your decisions are bound to be correct day in & day out or more frequently which is highly unlikely as the market is not structured in such a manner. The odds are stacked in the favour of market and not in favour of trader. Investing on other hand has a greater probability of yielding success as the number of decisions to be taken are less frequent in nature.

What is VALUE INVESTING ?

"Value Investing is the strategy of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic values" as defined by Investopedia. 

In simple terms if we understand value investing, it is paying less than fair value for a stock. The concept was introduced by Benjamin Graham, also known as the father of value investing. It involves actively searching stocks of companies that are believed to be undervalued or available at discounted rate on the basis of various simple parameters like Book value (Net worth) , P/E Ratio , discounting of future expected cash flow,  market cap to sales , cash by market cap etc.

The difference between discounted value and fair value can be called "Margin of Safety". It protects investor from errors involved in judgment of fair value, provides high-return opportunities and minimizes the downside risk of an investment. Value investing can provide good profits once the market inevitably re-evaluates the stock and raises its price to fair value over a period of time.

Determination of VALUE is an important aspect of stock selection.Financial parameters like return on equity, return on assets , operating profit margin , debt to equity ratio , promoters holding etc help in determining whether underlying stock has some value or not. Qualitative characteristics like  Business model, history of promoters, sector performance etc also help in determining whether there is value in the stock of the company.

Why you should do it ?

Value investing is a timeless principle and has proven to be very successful over a period of last 8-9 decades. Warren Buffett, World's No 1 successful equity investor firmly follows the principle and owes his wealth to the same. The benefits definitely out weigh the negatives of the strategy as the nature of strategy is "Defensive". It's better to take a calculated risk with value investing rather than blind risk while investing in capital markets.

Good Day !! :)

How to save your Portfolio from a Stock Market Crash ? Is it possible ?

Stock Market crash and how to save your portfolio

Stock market crash is the only major fear that is faced by investors in equities. Stock market crash when happens, results in erosion of wealth of investors to the tune of billions. Equities is one of the asset class which provides a superior return in the long-run when compared to other well-known asset class. The exponential growth potential that equities provide is not available in any other asset class. 

How beneficial it would be if one could take benefit of investing in equities along with safeguarding portfolio against a crash ?? Is it possible ??

The answer to above question is YES. Just like we have insurance for our home, life, car etc. similarly it is possible to have insurance for our portfolio. The technical term used in financial markets for insurance is called "Hedging". Hedge means a fence or boundary formed by closely growing bushes or shrubs for protection from any external threat. There are many methods and instruments available for purpose of hedging. 

Mutual Fund managers/ HNI investors / FIIs whose portfolios run into tens of thousands of crores use hedging strategies to reduce the risk of portfolio to a great extent and are protected from a stock market crash majority of the time. 

The most effective and cost efficient mode of hedging is purchase of PUT OPTIONS in our opinion.

There are two types of options : Call option and Put option.

A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying security at a specified price within a specified time. This is the opposite of a call option, which gives the holder the right to buy shares.

Example of using Put option : 

Suppose you own a portfolio of stocks worth Rs 100. You purchase put options in index (Nifty) of Rs 2 to protect your portfolio from crash. In case a crash happens and your portfolio and or index both experiences a decline of 40%. The new portfolio value will be Rs 60 from Rs 100. However the value of put option in index will have increased from Rs 2 to somewhere around 30 or may be more. So the overall value still remains Rs 90 ( Rs 60 of portfolio + 30 Rs of Put option).

Incase you had not purchased Put Option , your portfolio had declined to Rs 60 from Rs 100 as per the above example. 40-50% loss is substantial and can gravely affect achievement of long-term goals of growth. In scenario that the market crash does not happen by the time of expiry of put option, the Rs 2 invested in put option becomes worthless. However the same is more or less compensated by increase in the value of portfolio incase the market had soared higher instead of crashing.

Purchasing appropriate Put Option is a WIN-WIN Situation for equity investors because it gives protection against sudden unprecedented stock market crash. It is like an insurance premium. If the stock market crashes the protection is available, if it does not the premium is gone.

Conservation is pre-condition to growth. If you can conserve your portfolio and protect it from crash, the growth will be great in the long-term and there will be no disasters. 

If you like our post share it !

Note: Put option is a derivative instrument. Options are of different strike prices and different expiry and may have different outcomes. You can contact us or your financial advisor before purchasing put option and have a practical understanding of the same.
