Equity Portfolio of Rakesh-Jhunjhunwala for 2010 (as on 31st December 2009)

Dear Readers,

This is the holdings of Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. He is tagged by the media as 'India's Warren Buffett'.

In 2007, Forbes rated him as India's 51st and the world's #1062 richest man with wealth of $1.1 billion. He is one of the most famous and respected equity investors in India and manages his own portfolio as a partner in his asset management firm, Rare Enterprises.

Jhunjhunwala's portfolio of stocks is tracked religiously. His latest stock portfolio is the subject of many debates and analysis. Like Warren Buffett, Jhunjhunwala is a long term investor, however he acknowledges that it was 'trading' income which helped him built his initial capital base and continues to remain an active trader as he believes it keeps one alert and always on your feet.

And, I have brought you the holdings of Mr. Jhunjhunwalaas on 31/12/2009. All data mentioned here are taken from NSE shareholding pattern, under Public shareholding greater than 1%. M. Jhunjhunwala might have more investments in many companies apart from these which might be less than 1% and thus not captured here.

It would be great to receive your comments.

We see that there were some changes in the holding

1) He has increased his holdings in Geometric Software,Titan, Rallis, Lupin and NCC. This might be taken as indications that he has got much belief in the business growth of these companies.And, we have seen how Titan and Lupin have rallied up recently.

2) He has completely reduced his holdings in Aptech and Dwarikesh Sugars.

3) He has significantly reduced his holdings in Infomedia, Punj Llyod and Karur Vysya bank. He has also reduced his holdings in Praj industries and Hindustan Oil Exploration. We have also seen that the results in these companies dissapointed and share prices of Praj industries are down by almost 20% since highs of December-January months. Having said that Praj forms a significant part of his portfolio (14%). Thus, we can assume the growth story is still intact. His holdings has significant exposure in Geojit ( 18%) and NCC (15%).

4) The results of Viceroy Hotels, JB Chemicals, Vadilal Industries and Alphageo arent published as on date of writing. Any updates on the same will be mentioned in future.
