"Maintaining 89.9% equity exposure despite warning of absurd Indian market valuations."
Executive Summary
2Point2 Capital's Long Term Value Fund returned 10.7% in Q1 FY25, slightly underperforming the BSE 500's 11.7% return. The fund maintains 89.9% equity exposure in a concentrated portfolio of 15-18 stocks, with portfolio companies reporting median 19% profit growth. The managers dedicate significant attention to behavioral finance concepts, specifically base rate neglect, which they argue is driving absurd valuations in Indian markets. Small and mid-cap stocks have reached extreme valuations never seen before, with 217 companies trading above 75x P/E and 392 above 50x P/E among the top 1000. Historical analysis shows only 3 companies with profits above 250 crores in 2014 achieved the 26% earnings growth needed to justify 100x P/E valuations. The managers warn that investors focusing on exciting company narratives while ignoring statistical realities of sustained high growth are setting themselves up for disappointment. Despite market concerns, the fund maintains high equity exposure, suggesting selective positioning rather than broad market avoidance.
