Ankur Warikoo’s Investment Philosophy.
According to Out Money, Warikoo said that most people are passive with their income sources and earn only in terms of the salary they get but are active when it comes to investing their money. He advocated ‘flipping’ this approach and looking for more ways to earn while simplifying investments by passive investing.
“A lot of us are very passive with our income. We are living our jobs as dead people. Showing up, burning out, earning a salary – and somehow being ok with this life. But on the other hand, we are extremely active with our investments. Which stock to buy, when to buy, when to sell, explore trading, dabble with FnO, and join telegram stock tip groups! What if you flipped this? Get active with your income. Don’t just settle for a salary. Explore ways to earn more. Don’t ever stop hustling for it,” Warikoo said.
Warikoo’s passive income portfolio.
Warikoo share in the post, “We are a profitable business (~20-25% EBITDA) and deploy the reserves of the company into various assets. I am an aggressive investor (not recommended) and the mix of our current investments is:
- Mutual Funds: 70L
- PMS: 8.13Cr
- Startup Debt: 1.62Cr
- Startup Equity: 3.49Cr
- Stocks India: 95L
- Stocks US: 93L
- Real Estate: 3.75Cr
Total: ~20Cr (USD 2.35M), which last year was around 13Cr – so an insane (and unsustainable, I should add) growth rate of 48%. None of this investing is active. I spend less than 5 mins every month tracking or managing it – and I am happy to pay a fee to experts to manage my money for me.”
