Parsad Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Expansive discussion on Mohnish's new Indian bank investment. Cheers! http://rakesh-jhunjhunwala.in/index.php/2014/07/05/mohnish-pabrai-ends-exile-from-indian-stocks-with-purchase-of-south-indian-bank-from-renuka-ramnath/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkhet Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Is anyone else as bothered by the misplaced thousands seperators? Or is it just me? Also, I'm surprised by the fact that he has bought only about $10 million USD or 2.5%. I thought he'd gone back to 10% positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmukul Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 it was a bulk deal (private transaction which is reported) So i guess thats all he could get at this point, may be he bought some via open market also. Happy Bday Prasad, Thanks a lot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learner Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The link states that: Now, the big news is that Mohnish Pabrai has, through “The Pabrai Investment Fund IV LP” bought a chunk of 196,06,634 shares of South Indian Bank at Rs. 32.50 each. Mohnish bought 1,45,45,500 from Renuka Ramnath’s Multiples Equity and the rest from the open market. Do you guys know how I can verify this? And more importantly how can I find out when he exists this position? Since this is a non-US position, the 13f filing show this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can assume that I would not have posted it unless it was from a verified source. You will not know when he exits until he does, and then discusses it like any other position in the Pabrai Funds. He only talks about it once it is no longer a holding. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exception confirming the rule.... ;D More seriously, he rarely talks about current holdings so not to fall prey to any behavioral biases. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanjeev - ofcourse, once you post something I take it on face value. I was trying to understand if there are some regulatory filings that I can track if I want to see investors taking positions in India. I remember that this was briefly mentioned in Mohnish's lecture at MDI Gurgaon but the exact nature of the filing wasnt mentioned. In anycase, the link kmukul posted above is useful. I'll watch out for when Mohnish discusses the exit - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmukul Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Although I had to follow pabrai here, as this is the only indian company he holds. I dont get it, May be i will get it after one year! Past results were only ok although most private sector banks were able to grow very nicely and were available at similar valuation or lower last year. The other thing is indian economy might be able to grow fast (>6%) however i doubt it. Monsoons are bad so far and nothing else impacts the economy more than monsoons. Learner do you have a way to monitor the bse site for him selling? Most likely he will hold for more then a year and it might tedious to do it manually.

PJM Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Looks like Pabrai Fund has now picked up a stake of more than 1% in another bank - Jammu Kashmir bank in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely he will hold for more then a year and it might tedious to do it manually. I didnt notice this question earlier, but I dont know of any good way to track selling activity. That said, any 'bulk' exchange (buy/sell) of Indian stocks seems to be reported here ('bulk deals' under 'shareholding' on the left panel): See http://www.moneycontrol.com/stocks/marketstats/blockdeals_query.php?sc_id=SIB&post_flg=1&myexchg=Both#SIB Hope this helps.

Thanks for finding this, PJM. This position might actually be bigger, ~4% position. Based on http://www.moneycontrol.com/bse/shareholding/shp_public_shares.php?sc_dispid=JKB#JKB Pabrai funds owns 2.56% of the Rs. 6,220 cr bank. This translates to ~$26MM or 4% of $700MM Pabrai funds.
