@KirtanShahCFP Thanks for simplifying and sharing about InvITs Kirtan. Some further context from my side:
1. Background: The government has announced an aggressive spend target of ₹100 lakh crore over next five years to revamp India's infrastructure (roads, power transmission, gas pipelines)
Equity in infrastructure is seen as risk prone and Debt (Project Financing) has been scaled down by Banks over last few years thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/editor…
This is where a structure such as InvIT comes in. Think of it as Mutual Funds, with...
@KirtanShahCFP ..key difference being that these InvITs would hold infrastructure assets instead of financial securities held under MFs.
3. Also the risk-rewards make them a hybrid between Debt and equities - just the right mix in my opinion, if India is to achieve it's aggressive target.
Explaining it via the shared diagram.
Four parties: 1. Sponsors: Set up InvITs 2. Trustees: Oversight and ensures all rules are complied with 3. Investment Managers: Manages investments 4. Project Managers: Executes projects under InvIT
@KirtanShahCFP 5. Projects under InvIT:
a. At least 80% of the value of an InvIT to be in "completed and revenue-generating infrastructure projects" (explained by Kirtan)
b. Maximum 20% of the total value of InvITs from under-construction (directly or through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
@KirtanShahCFP 6. Benefits for
*⃣ Infrastructure developers:
a. Raise capital for financing more infra projects by monetizing stake of infra developers into smaller units
b. Cheaper re-financing due to de-risked operations
c. Transformation from asset heavy to asset light
d. Focus on core work
@KirtanShahCFP *⃣ Benefits for investors
a. Medium to invest in nation building
b. Easy entry and exit since the units are getting listed
c. Wider spectrum of investment avenues - between debt and equity in terms of risk-reward.
That's it guys. Hope you find this useful.

Resemblance to Bread coins in purely co-incidental.
Two DMs asking if I have an issue with CRED. No I don't, but I think this was again a marketing ploy more than anything. Virtue signalling created out of thin air.
Let me explain:
1. Cost of CRED points to users was zero as these were freely given as a carrot to acquire users.
I grew up watching a lot of Nat Geo & Discovery. One learning I took was to not touch any brightly colored animal.
I watched LoTR as a teen and was fascinated with Gollum's greed for the ring.
Youngsters can taken some lesson from this - don't "blindly" chase all shiny objects.
What is happening on the blockchain, cryptocurrency, DeFi, stablecoins, etc is super fascinating stuff. Designed by some of the best minds. But there are more landmines than goldfields. Study if you are keen, but don't just FOMO in unless you understand what it is all about.
Just read this good post on the recently hotly debated topic of NFT (Non Fungible Tokens). Many of these I see as experiments. Some will definitely take off and be bigger than current asset classes over this decade.
Kind of sure this will get squashed. Doesn't make sense.
This reminds me of the socialism example where every student gets the average marks in the class, irrespective of their real score. And we know the outcome.
It takes time, effort, networking, reputation over years and proprietary research for relevant questions (beyond the concall). Don't see any reason why all of it should be made public.

A short thread🧵

How to IPO LIC - This was a topic covered in the first Equity Capsule newsletter (read extract shared).
Historically, LIC has had lower profits & NW due to higher payouts to policyholders vs peers. But post recent amendments to LIC Act, they are in line with listed peers.
3/9 What's changed?
Earlier LIC treated payout for both policies at 95%. Now it has lowered mandated distribution of surplus from 95% to 90% for Par products (ULIPs) and 95% to 0% for Non-Par (Term Ins for Protection).
Over 75% of corporate India (by market cap) has declared Q3 results and the verdict is - We are on a roll!
Highlights of last 6 month performance (July-Dec) for 809 results (ex-financials) declared till Friday, Feb 5th.
1/n 👇
2/n While revenue growth is close to pre-Covid levels (down 5%), there is a strong profitability growth lead by both gross margin expansion and operating leverage. No wonder everyone is talking EPS growth!
How do we compare with US on this front? Here.
FIIs: Note 👇
3/n
52.5% PAT growth overall and 43.9% ex financials!
How does this look across industries?
