What is Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's Investing Strategy, is there a way where we retail investors can follow his strategy and generate similar returns like him? We did an extensive research and this is what we found. A short thread
We all know that Rakesh Jhunjhunwala made headlines recently with his ZEE stock purchase, where he made 67 crores profits in just 6 days. Even though many claims it’s an insider trading, he might have known about the ZEE Sony merger news beforehand.
As per bulk deal report from NSE, he bought the stock on 14th Sep 2021 at Rs.220 and on that day ZEE stock closed at Rs.260 and retail traders still got the time to invest in ZEE stock, from Rs.260 the stock went up to Rs.330 in next one week, that’s almost 27% returns.
If we had followed the bulk deal report and invested in ZEE stock as per Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, we would have also be sitting with handsome returns. This made me curious, and I wanted to check, “What if we can follow Rakesh Jhunjhunwala investing strategy?”
All we need to do this, follow the bulk deal report and check where does he invest in and simply buy it. And most wealth of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala came from holdings his portfolio of stocks for long term, he doesn’t simply buy and sell often. Remember Warren Buffett once said
If we can simply mimic Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s stock selection, there is a higher probability of making great returns. But we cannot simply go with his #ZEE stock purchase history, we need more data to conclude if he really made money in the long term through his bulk deals.
I downloaded all bulk deal reports from 2005 to till date, that’s more than 16 years of data. And look for client name as Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Rekha Jhunjhunwala and Rare Enterprises. (RARE is formed by combining first two letters of husband and wife’s name)
I was able to gather all his 15+ years of bulk deal report with details like which stock he bought, at what price, when he bought/sold and how many quantities
Once I got the required details, I just need to upload these transactions to @ValueResearch which would calculate his total returns easily. Not whatever he touches turns into gold, just like any other normal retail investor, even he made mistakes,
he lost more than 90% in some of his investments with companies like A2Z Infra, Dish Tv etc. But the money he lost with such investments are very nominal compared to the profits he made with other companies.
But look at the profits he made from Titan, FSL, Escorts etc, more than 38% of his portfolio is from Titan. He continues to hold a large chunk of it even now. His cost price of Titan was just Rs.22, and with First source solution his purchase price was just Rs.10
Most of the investors’ wealth follows Pareto principle, where 80% of their profits comes from less than 20% of the stocks, and that’s the case with Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s bulk deal report as well, more than 80% of his profits came from these 8 stocks
His total investments that he made through bulk deal is worth more than 2500 Crores now, and he was able to beat the index easily at a great margin. But in last 16 years, he has seen many corrections but he did not exit from it, he continued to hold.
Conclusion:
From the above +16 years of bulk deal data analysis, it is clearly evident why Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is considered as one of the legendary investors in India. We retail traders always focus on the short term noise, that Rs.67 crores he made in 6 days made headlines,
but none of the media emphasized the fact of 2000 + Crores he made by holdings his investments for 16 years. To replicate Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Investing strategy, all we need to do is mimic his stock purchase based on bulk deal report,
We should mainly focus on building the conviction to hold on to such stocks for a very long period in order to generate wealth over the long term. Here's the link to blog post squareoff.in/rakesh-jhunjhu…

I have made close to 90 lacs profits in the last 267 trading days with my trading system. In the last 6 months made 50% net returns. Not even a single day I have interfered manually. I was in a dilemma, should I withdraw profits or continue to compound? I decided to …🧵

Did a 10 days solo trip to Kashmir, spent just ₹800 a day by staying at Hostel, met wonderful people around the world and this was most life changing experience of my life. Kahsmir is truly a heaven on earth. Here’s how I planned my trip🧵
The moment you arrive at Srinagar none of your other State prepaid mobile network work here. I bought a Jio Sim for 500₹ which is sufficient enough for next ten days to cover my work and to stay connected. If you have postpaid, then no problem.
Ola/Uber doesn’t have a big traction here, Jugnoo is the widely used app here. You can use that to book cab to your hotel or opt for prepaid taxi. I did not have any plans or itinerary, once I arrived at Srinagar, I booked my stay @ZostelHostel for 2 days only.

I just came back from a 10 days solo trip to Bali,I always wondered whats the fun when you travel solo, I was so wrong. Met different people across the world, spent time at mesmerising places, its a different vibe. Trading & Traveling is a deadly combo. Here's how I managed it🧵
Flight - There is only one direct flight from Delhi to Bali operated by Vistra which costs around 35k. Most flights are connecting via KL or Singapore, Use Skyscanner to find cheapest deals. Extra 20kg baggage cost additional 10k. Default is only 7kg.
My biggest blunder was to carry heavy luggage as its for ten days, I realised the laundry cost is very less in Bali. Around Rs.400 for 5kg, so travel light, this can save you additional 10k in ticket cost and makes it easier when you roam around islands in Ferry.
Ever wondered where the big institutional investors are putting their money? Is there any way to track which stock has highest holdings of FII (Foreign Institutional Investors) and DII (Domestic Institutional Investors)? Using this free screener its easier to track. Here's how🧵
Go to and click on Screens and Click on Create New Screen. Large-cap companies have a market cap of Rs 20,000 crore or above. Mid-cap companies is between Rs 5,000 crore and less than Rs 20,000 crore, small-cap companies have a market cap of < Rs 5,000 cr buff.ly/3TkZeji
So let's find out which stocks under each of these segments has highest FII, DII holdings. This query retrieves list of small cap stocks with market cap <5000 cr and DII share holding > 50%, once you run the query it gives you the list of eligible stocks.
Is your Kids spending so much of time on iPad/Phones/TVs? No matter how hard you try, still is he/she spending more hours on it? Me and my friends also face the same problem. Here's what I did that really helped a lot in changing my kids behaviour. 🧵
It all starts at an early age, in order to make them eat you start giving them a phone, playing some random YouTube videos. It gets the kids attention. Then as he grows, in order to keep them busy, so that they dont disturb us, we give the phones. This habit sticks to them.
You cant simply grab the phone from your kid, when you continue to chat with your friends on whatapp group. The only way to stop your kid from using the device is, first you need to reduce your screen time. Remember kids are watching and copying everything you do.
