Small but Strong Companies : Ideal for your Long Term Portfolio (5Y+)

Wealth report 2012 released by CITI and Knight Frank predicts fall of North America and West Europes share in World GDP from 41% to 18% by 2050. And Share of Asia, especially Chindia, would go up from 27% to 49%. This simply summarizes that India and Chinda would grow rapidly for the next 40 years.

As per Goldman Sachs, India could grow 40 times by 2050. And India's GDP would grow from $960 Billion in 2010 to $8165 Billion by 2050. And this growth is expected at mear GDP growth of 5.5% !

If you thought it was unachievable, let us rewind. Since 1991, our cement industry has grown 4.4 times, Finished steel by 5.6 times, Electricity by 3.1 times and Coal by 2.5 times. On an average our GDP has increased 4 times since 1991. With 1.2 billion population, furture growth is very much a possibiility but for the caveats like reforms, corruption etc.

This booming economy has given birth to many enterprises like Apollo Hospitals (1979), Pantaloon Retail (1987), Bharti Airtel (1995), Infoedge (1995), MCX (2002) and Jubliand Foodworks(1995).

This HUGE growth opportunity is definitely a very positive news for enterpreneurs and Equity investors who could invest in such companies and grow with them.

Following are list of small companies which have been financially strong, consistent dividend giving with positive networth for past 10 years. These companies have Debt equity ratio of 0.5 in each of past 10 years.

A word of caution: Small companies are usually volatile since the shares are relatively illiquid with low trading volume. Hence it is advisable to restrict your investment to such small companies to maximum of 10% of your overall equity portfolio. You should have patience to buy and patience to sell.
