When and how does Marcellus Churn its portfolio??

Most of our partners are now well aware of the process that Marcellus follows to identify companies and our whole idea to churn the portfolio bare minimum possible. However, one question that is often asked is when does Marcellus sell or what leads to churn in portfolio and here is the answer to it!!

There are three types of churn that Marcellus’ portfolios have:
1.    Complete exit from a stock due to deterioration in Marcellus research analysts’ view of the said company’s strength and sustainability (longevity) of competitive advantages
2.    Optimising portfolio concentration through an exit when a new stock is being included in the portfolio– due to an increase in conviction levels on strength and longevity of competitive advantages of the new company (which was hitherto not in the portfolio)
3.    Partial selling of a stock as part of portfolio rebalancing to bring it in sync with relative conviction on fundamentals of the stock vs other stocks in the portfolio. This partial selling can be triggered by either of the following two reasons:
a.    Change in weight of the stock in the model portfolio because of a change in the conviction levels on the fundamentals of that stock (quantified through scores in our longevity framework) relative to others in the portfolio
b.    Changes in share price of the stock which leads to significant deviation in stock allocation in a client’s portfolio compared to the model portfolio weights (which are related to relative conviction on fundamentals of one stock vs others)
Examples of churn:

•    During January 2020, we exited from Marico due to our conviction level on the fundamentals of the company as cited in point 3(a); during January,2019 we exited from GRUH FINANCE due to the change in management. For more details refer to our newsletters:

https://marcellus.in/newsletter/consistent-compounders/why-india-is-blessed-with-consistent-compounders/

•    The rebalancing exercise which we carried out in April 2020 when we bought 2x more of Bajaj Finance in our clients’ portfolios after Bajaj Finance fell by 70% during the Covid crash – that is an example of 3(b) highlighted above.

Regardless of whether the portfolio churn relates to point 1, 2, or 3 highlighted above, if the stock undergoing the churn is illiquid, then we spread out the churn over few days to avoid price impact of our trades.
