Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The managers candidly examine six major selling mistakes where stocks rose 5-15x post-exit, highlighting the difficulty of timing exits in quality businesses. Key lesson: be more patient with temporary setbacks while maintaining valuation discipline."
Executive Summary
2Point2 Capital's Long Term Value Fund delivered a 45.2% return for FY24, outperforming the BSE 500 by 5.0%, though the fund declined 4.7% in Q4. The managers reflect extensively on six exited investments that subsequently delivered 5-15x returns post-exit, including Safari Industries, Tata Elxsi, and Saregama India. These cases highlight the challenge of selling decisions in value investing, where concerns about elevated valuations led to premature exits from quality businesses with strong management teams. The fund's concentrated approach of holding 15-18 stocks has generated a 20.4% CAGR since inception in 2016, with cumulative returns of 317.6%. Key learnings include being more patient with adverse events and avoiding knee-jerk reactions to temporary setbacks. The managers emphasize that while selling at high valuations is generally prudent, exceptional entrepreneurs can sometimes justify seemingly excessive multiples. Current equity exposure stands at 92.5% with portfolio companies reporting median 10% profit growth.
