How To Find Portfolio Of Big Investors?

Posted on August 27, 2021August 27, 2021 by Finance Infopedia

What is the meaning of cloning?

As per the definition of Wikipedia

Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with either identical or virtually identical DNA, either by natural or artificial means. In nature, some organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction. In the field of biotechnology, cloning is the process of creating cloned organisms (copies) of cells and of DNA fragments

The above-given statement is the meaning of cloning as per scientific terms. But do you know that the same concept can be used in equity investment also. Those who practice cloning in equity investment is called “Cloning Investors”. So what is meant by “Cloning Investors”?

Even though I am sure that the concept which I am going to tell here is something that many might be following for a long time now, still, I think, it is Mr. Mohnish Pabrai who marketed this concept and made it accepted among the public as a serious investment strategy that anyone can follow.

So let us understand what Mr. Pabrai tells about Clone Investing during the 2013 Indian School of Business Presentation

Couple of professors in the US, I think one guy is at the University of Nevada and other guys at Ohio State and they wrote a paper where they looked at every stock Warren Buffett bought for 30 years from 1975 to 2005 and what they did is, they they did an analysis. They said that, if you bought what Buffett bought and you bought it after it was publicly known that he has bought it and you bought it on the last day of the month that was publicly known that he had bought it and you bought it at the high price of the last day of the month. Then you held it till Buffett started selling the stock and was known publicly and you sold it on the last day of the month that it was public and the price you got when you sold was the lowest price on that last day of the month and you did this for every stock that he bought and sold for 30 years. If you did that you beat the index the S&P 500 by 11.5% a year on average. The S&P had done about 10% historically, so you were doing about 21.5% a year.

 

The only layers that I add to that is I don’t buy everything that the others are buying. I look at what they are buying and then I look at the ones that I can understand, undervalued and I think he’s right about why buying it.

 

Now let us see how we can find the portfolio of great investors in the world. For that, the simple process is to follow DATAROMA. On this site, find the list under “Superinvestor Portfolio Updates”

Now under the great investors, for example, if you want to follow the portfolio of great investor Mr. Bill Gates, you need to follow the portfolio of  Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust.

Below mentioned is the portfolio of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust and I got it from here

Hai,

My name is Ashlin Joby Thekkan. Living in Kerala in India (also known as God’s own country). Over the last 10 years, I have read and researched a lot on topics like personal finance management, equity investing etc. Now I can proudly say that all my efforts have helped me to gain knowledge and expertise in the field of equity investment and personal finance management.

I realized that the level of financial literacy among people, even among those who are well educated is very low. The moment I realized my passion for teaching personal finance management and investing, I started looking for platforms through which I can reach out to the public and teach them on related topics. I found that blogging is the right platform for me to reach out to a large audience and that helped me to become the founder of Finance Infopedia.
