Data mining for a smallish crazy year

I look forward to the financial year ends. That’s a time, me, and our analytics team at BuckSpeak go down a few rabbit holes, to dig relevant insights. The small and mid-cap rally in equities was almost crazy this financial year.

You can go through our last financial year end blog here : What a year(financial hi Sahi)!!!

Disclaimer: Our investor data would be quite different from the rest of the market and the data shouldn’t be seen as a representation of the larger investing world.

Our investors:  

  • are affluent 
  • are healthy savers & channelize a significant part of their savings into investments
  • believe in the process and not just the outcome of investing

is the growth in assets that have spent more than 10 years at BuckSpeak. Rs 3.3 Cr which has spent more than 10 years with us has grown to 14.5 Cr (can’t find a better validation of long term)

Rs 10 Cr that has spent more than 7 years has grown to 33 Cr

At BuckSpeak this is one metric, we strongly believe in and track : the avg holding period of our assets. Longer the better, though we do wean off the extended nonperformers

of our investors either maintained or increased their monthly SIPs, compared to last year. Discipline and consistency are important ingredients for wealth creation. Continuity is strong evidence of that.

Our Investor’s family income has grown significantly higher than inflation. We have almost seen doubling of household income in the last 5 years.

Nobody loves Debt investment (but at BuckSpeak, we do): Industry AUM grew only by 11 % (out of which approx. 7-8 % must have been growth in value, so only 3-3.5 % came through fresh investment). However, our debt assets grew by 22%. Additionally, our equity AUM grew by 57 %, compared to 51 % for the industry. At current or higher valuations, we do intend to reduce our equity allocation in portfolios and hence our focus on debt is steadfast

the median age of BuckSpeak clients. Investors at BuckSpeak are getting ‘younger’ 😊. In other words, the ‘younger’ lot is getting wealthier 😊

We continued to have zero love for New Equity Funds. Instead, we would prefer funds with track record across cycles.

of our investors have more assets with us today than they had 5 years back. For this lot, their current portfolio is almost 3x, compared to their portfolio 5 years back. To be clear, this is not merely a function of portfolio return, but also includes the fresh inflow during this period.
