Top PMS fund manager Saurabh Mukherjea, whose firm Marcellus handles HNI money worth around Rs 10,000 crore, has picked 4 new smallcap stocks in his Little Champs portfolio. In his bank-focused Kings of Capital portfolio, Home First Finance has been replaced with MAS Financial Services while SKF India is the new stock pick in midcap-heavy Rising Giants portfolio. Mukherjea told investors in a note that positive developments in interest rate cuts by the Fed can improve consumer sentiments and benefit stocks with global market exposure.
Saurabh Mukherjea believes that as HDFC Bank stabilizes and its numbers improve, institutional appetite will return. He mentions that without merger synergies, HDFC Bank is already a profitable bank with a 1.9% ROA. If the ROA increases to 2%, the bank s ROE could be around 18%. He also notes that HDFC Bank s operational delivery has been solid post-merger. Despite the consensus buy on HDFC Bank, there has been a reduction in institutional exposure, but Mukherjea expects the selling to abate and institutional investors to return.
