Sundae Capital has provided an Independent professional Advice on the ongoing open offer dated March 16, 2024. The report has suggested two different values for the Equity Shares of the Company using two separate criteria, Sundae Capital mentions the price as per Asset Approach is Rs, 1221.70 and as per Market Approach is Rs. 541.13. In terms of Regulation 8(1), IDC may take into consideration highest off the two Values and base their recommendation accordingly.

Whats your typical churn every week in a Large and midcap momentum portfolio?

@krishnasristy If you invest in an MF or a ETF, it depends on the underlying portfolio. If the rebalancing is done at 6 months interval, you may lose quite a bit waiting for the next rebalance. Investing and then moving out – not sure if you can time it that well either.
It also depends on the universe. If your universe is the same as the ETF or the MF, then you can simply follow it. But if your universe is different, it is incumbent upon you to do the tracking.
If you are transacting via a discount broker, you save straight away on brokerages. You will still have other statutory costs, but on an overall basis it will reduce the returns marginally only.
I do this over the weekend only and hence time is not an issue.

Opportunity cost is the cost of missing a lucrative opportunity going for a lesser lucrative option. Here the reward is more, so opportunity cost w.r.t return does not exist here. Time spent is another matter. Also, one gets better at this by implementing many ideas which have the potential to give more returns, in a trending market. And, this can be automated too, as time becomes unavailable.

I agree with you on the rebalancing frequency part. It must be more frequent than 6 months. I’m wondering if we could just enter the momentum index based ETFs via lump sum mode once every 6 months and move out of it within 1-2 months once the momentum has played out. We save the transactional costs and burden of very frequent DIY tracking. 2-3% lower returns must be OK for the peace of mind. Anyway, the allocation to this strategy can’t be more than 10% in anyone’s portfolio. Spending time every week on buy, sell and rebalance for 10% of portfolio may be a huge opportunity cost. Your thoughts?
