Safir Anand, Strategist & Investor, reveals his investment strategy and discusses the current market conditions in India. Anand suggests that while exercising caution is important during market rallies, staying invested has historically paid off. He mentions that shuffling one’s portfolio to adjust for market volatility is crucial. Anand also shares his focus on the pumps, cables and wires, and PSU banks sectors. He explains that these sectors have strong industry statistics, high order inflow, and cash-rich balance sheets. Anand prefers PSU banks over private banks due to recent changes, such as calculating NPAs and RBI addressing issues. He discusses his view on new tech companies and states that while he hasn’t increased or decreased his positions, the focus on profitability and potential dividends make these companies interesting to watch. Anand shares that while he reduced his commitment levels by around 5-6%, some corrections in midcaps and overlooked largecaps allowed him to reinvest. He highlights that caution is required in excessively favored sectors and complex companies with unclear technology and earnings. Anand mentions his interest in PSU companies, especially those experiencing a start of a capex cycle and holding substantial order flows. He explains that eliminating the risk of downside is key when investing in these companies. Finally, Anand shares his recent stock ideas, including adding Jammu and Kashmir Bank and Punjab National Bank to his portfolio. He also mentions taking medium-risk positions in Suzlon and Coffee Day.
