What started as a Sunday afternoon tweet by comedian <keyword id="20947562" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Kamra" source="keywords">Kunal Kamra</keyword> criticising <keyword id="19897349" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola-Electric" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Ola Electric" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Ola Electric">Ola Electric</keyword>’s S1 series scooters quickly escalated into a fiery exchange with <keyword id="19914967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhavish-Aggarwal" source="keywords">Bhavish Aggarwal</keyword>, CEO of <keyword id="19945904" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ola" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Ola" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Ola">Ola</keyword>. It all began when <keyword id="23458070" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kamra" source="keywords">Kamra</keyword> had posted a picture showing several Ola scooters gathering dust at a dealership, highlighting concerns over poor service. However, the situation intensified when Aggarwal responded, accusing Kamra of posting a “paid tweet” and launching personal digs at the comedian’s career. The feud between the two public figures has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, dividing Twitter users. While some users echoed Kamra’s frustrations about Ola’s <keyword id="21440362" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="service-quality" source="keywords">service quality</keyword>, others defended Aggarwal’s sharp retorts. The argument has moved beyond the two individuals, turning into a broader debate about the state of customer service in India’s <keyword id="19906970" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric-vehicle" source="keywords">electric vehicle</keyword> sector. <h2>Internet complains about Ola’s Service Quality </h2> Several users shared their experiences with Ola’s service issues, siding with Kamra’s criticisms. One Twitter user wrote, “It’s all fun and all, Bhavish sir, but with all the complaints, the ‘Bhavishya’ of OLA Scooters is not looking good. Rather than hitting out at Kunal, tell people the plan to solve the 80k and growing complaints.” Many shared similar sentiments, recounting personal stories of service delays and unresolved issues. For instance, one customer revealed, “It’s been only 4 months since my brother bought the Ola S1 Pro, and he’s gone to the service centre at least 6-7 times, sometimes due to software issues, sometimes due to quality issues. Every day, a new problem arises.” Another wrote, “A friend of mine bought an ola scooter, after eight months it started giving trouble, he followed up to the service centre for 6 months but they didn't resolve his issue, In the end he paid 24000/- to get the issue resolved.” Yet another user expressed their dissatisfaction bluntly, saying, “Pay your staff properly first! Instead of calling out Kamra, put that money to better use—expand your service infrastructure, fix quality checks, then show off your wealth on social media!” Meanwhile, another X user said that they can only imagine “how badly customer service behaves with individuals, if this is how top management reacts to criticism.” <h2>Support for OLA CEO </h2> On the other hand, some users supported Aggarwal, praising his leadership and dismissing Kamra’s criticisms as an attempt to stay relevant. “Kunal, you missed the comedy gig and now think you're leading the charge? What bhavish and ola are doing is clearly out of your sight, that is solving "real problems". Feel free to visit one—maybe learn some skills beyond just creating nuisance,” a user wrote. Another user commented, “Kunal Kamra has a rare disease of poking everywhere to revive his sinking career! Ignore these stunts, Bhavish, you’ve built an amazing company.” Another echoed this sentiment, adding, “Founder mode on.” Some, on the other hand, took a more balanced stance. A user wrote, “Reply might sound arrogant here, but sometimes you have to show people their place. Bhavish did the right thing,” one person tweeted. However, he also acknowledged there are real issues with Ola’s service. “Let’s agree there’s an issue with service,” he added. Here are some reactions: <div type="image" title="google (5)" msid="114007569" hostid="261" sizebytes="643332"></div> As the feud unfolds, it has highlighted deeper concerns around accountability in the electric vehicle market. The war of words may have begun with Kamra’s tweet, but the chorus of complaints from Ola customers underscores the broader dissatisfaction with after-sales service. This exchange, while entertaining for many, has become a focal point for customers demanding better support from companies as India pushes towards a greener transportation future.

The Softbank Group-backed firm, which commands nearly a third of the market share in India's e-scooter market, has added more than 50 <keyword id="23754615" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="service-centers" source="keywords">service centers</keyword> and has hired over 500 service technicians across new and existing service centres to streamline operations and clear all backlogs. Recently, the company announced that it has managed to clear about 99% of its complaint logjam, even as public backlash on the company's e-scooters continues to emerge almost every day. Reportedly, <keyword id="20127554" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CCPA" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="CCPA" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="CCPA">CCPA</keyword> is set to probe this claim, with the company also onboarding Ernst &amp; Young for service transformation, strategy, and optimization of overall service processes.

The global research firm revisited Ola Electric's service centers a month after an earlier inspection in September and noted the need for substantial improvements in service centers. On NSE, Ola Electric shares dipped below its IPO issue price of Rs 76 on Tuesday, hitting its 52-week low of Rs 74.84. Today, it closed the day at Rs 80.90, up by 1.34%.

In September, founder and CMD Bhavish Aggarwal announced the #HyperService campaign to offer technology-led, best-in-class after-sales experience. As part of the announcement, Ola Electric plans to double the company-owned service network to 1,000 centers by December 2024.

"We have a very light ad load compared to everyone else in the market, so there's room to grow on the capacity side."Max had 3.4 minutes of ads per hour as of the fourth quarter of 2023, which was <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warner-bros-discovery-announces-details-of-new-streamer-max-2023-4">lower than most of the other streamers</a>.Perrette said Max would continue to take a lighter touch when it comes to its prestigious HBO content, however. Last year, it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warner-bros-discovery-planning-streaming-ads-on-hbo-originals-2022-12">introduced pre-roll and sponsorship ads</a> to HBO shows but refrained from inserting ads in the middle of shows.Perrette also said Max is still in the early stages of selling its ad-supported tier and introducing new ad formats."On the pricing and ad capacity side, we're very early in terms of ad format innovation to drive more creative formats for partners and marketers to work with us," he said. "So those three levers are going to provide a great amount of scale, so I think we're in early innings in the advertising revenue growth stream."One of the big appeals of streaming initially was that it offered ad-free viewing. All the major streamers now have ad tiers, and while they started with a low number of ads per hour, ad loads are expected to creep up over time to make the numbers work. The newest player in streaming ads, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon">Amazon,</a> recently said it would increase its ad load in Prime Video after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-prime-video-preview-shake-up-tv-ad-marketplace-2024-1">rolling out ads to the service in January.</a>Media players are still cognizant of not going back to the days of cable, though, where the ad loads can be twice that of streaming — or more."As others add a lot of inventory, we really like the idea that we're not doing that. You're not going to be interrupted watching 'House of the Dragon' or 'White Lotus,' at least for the foreseeable future," WBD president and CEO David Zaslav said on Thursday's earnings call. "We think part of the quality is the quality of the experience."Execs didn't give a timeframe for the changes. It's possible it'll wait until it names a new ad sales chief. The role is currently held by Jon Steinlauf, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jon-steinlauf-wbd-top-ad-salesman-to-leave-internal-memo-2024-10">who's set to leave the company by year's end</a>.WBD <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warner-bros-discovery-announces-details-of-new-streamer-max-2023-4">rolled out Max</a> in 2023 with ad-supported and ad-free tiers, combining HBO's premium content and originals like "Succession" with Discovery+'s reality programming like "90-Day Fiancé" and Warner Bros. films and the DC Universe.For the third quarter, WBD reported Max had its strongest quarterly gain in subscriptions since launching, adding 7.2 million subscribers for a total of 110.5 million. It also reported streaming profits of $289 million, up from $111 million in the year-ago quarter.Still, Max is a minor player in streaming, capturing just 1.2% of monthly streaming TV time in September, tied with Paramount+ and ahead only of Pluto TV, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nielsen.com/data-center/the-gauge/">Nielsen</a>. Rival Netflix, by comparison, added 5.1 million subscriptions in its most recent quarter and now has 282.7 million subscribers in total.

<keyword id="19940291" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Diwali" source="keywords">Diwali</keyword> is just around the corner, and most traders and stockbrokers are gearing up for <keyword id="23618998" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Muhurat-trading" source="keywords">muhurat trading</keyword>, which will take place on Friday, November 1 this year, between 6 and 7 pm. The one-hour trading session will mark the beginning of the new year in the Hindu calendar, or Samvat 2081. Generally, markets don't see much trade or activity during this one-hour session, given that muhurat trading is largely symbolic. It stems from the Indian tradition of closing our annual financial accounts on the day of Diwali and then starting afresh with the upcoming new year. Investors look to make their first profitable transaction of the new year and believe that any new investments during this one-hour window will bring them long-term prosperity. Like with usual trades, settlement happens on a T+1 basis. Gaurav Garg, who heads the markets desk at Lemonn, a new-age <keyword id="20300872" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="stock-trading" source="keywords">stock trading</keyword> app, explains that retail investors usually make symbolic purchases of small quantities of stocks or invest in blue-chip stocks or large-cap stocks as part of their portfolio-building strategy during muhurat trading. "Here, it is less about immediate profits and more about its cultural and traditional aspects. The number of trades in this session also tends to be 20–30% lower, compared to a typical trading day, since institutional investors and high-frequency traders stay away from muhurat trading," he adds. <h2>How has the market performed during muhurat trading in the past?</h2>Much like us, the markets also put on a positive, festive outlook during this time. Data suggests that over 10 years, muhurat to muhurat returns, i.e., the performance of <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> or <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword> from one Diwali muhurat to that of next year's, has averaged around 11-13%. In fact, in the past decade, the average gain during muhurat trading has been approximately 0.5% to 1% on major indices. Over the last 10 years, 8 out of 10 muhurat sessions have yielded positive returns for investors. In fact, four of these 8 sessions have delivered double-digit returns. Some of these outliers include 2021, i.e., at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, where Nifty’s muhurat-to-muhurat returns were a staggering 40.19%. Sensex closely followed suit with 37.65%. 2022 saw the returns from these indices slip into the reds, despite a positive muhurat day performance. While returns on Nifty slipped 1.04% in negative, Sensex was also down by 0.39%. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"

weightage="20" keywordseo="financial-services" source="keywords">financial services</keyword> are sectors that do well during this time, benefiting from elevated consumer demand and festive momentum. <h2>What can we expect this year?</h2>So far, this hasn't been a great season. <keyword id="20052796" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="corporate-earnings" source="keywords">Corporate

investors</keyword> are exiting India at a breakneck speed. In October so far, FIIs (foreign institutional investors) have withdrawn a massive Rs 92,142.97 crore from Indian markets. Over the last 24 days, FIIs have functioned on a single aim—sell, sell, and sell. So, expect the markets to remain muted. Overall, the markets seem to be entering a sombre, much-needed phase of recalibration. The same is evident in Nifty's annual growth. Between 2004 to 2021; Nifty was up 16% per annum. However, in the last three years, it's gone up only by 13%. Says Trivesh D, COO, Tradejini, "As we move into Samvat 2081, it’s clear that the euphoria seen in previous years is cooling. Markets are moving in a narrower range, and returns are likely to be more modest than in the past. The focus now shifts to sectors that can provide steady, long-term growth. Financials remain a favourite, with banks, market intermediaries, and exchanges offering stability. The IT sector is also expected to recover as companies adapt to new technologies like generative AI". As markets enter a phase of correction, even IPOs, which have generated wild returns for some investors, may also cool off as investors become wearier. But, for those looking to get in the market in the long haul, experts note that this is a good opportunity to accumulate good-quality stocks. So, happy Diwali, and happy investing this festive season.

Markets and Muhurat trading: How have Sensex and Nifty celebrated Diwali in the past?

After several days of impressive gains, Indian stock indices saw some correction on September 27, 2024, as investors booked profits following a prolonged rally. The <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword>, which briefly touched the 86,000 mark during the trading session, closed the day slightly lower at 85,571.85 points, down by 264.27 points or 0.31%. Similarly, the <keyword id="19896381" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="nifty" source="keywords">Nifty</keyword> index, which reached a lifetime high of 26,277.35, eventually closed in the red at 26,175.15 points, down by 40.90 points or 0.16%. Market participants were primarily focused on locking in gains after the indices reached record highs. Sectoral performance saw a divergence, with banking, financial services, media, and real estate stocks facing pressure. <keyword id="19969359" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vinod-nair" source="keywords">Vinod Nair</keyword>, Head of Research at <keyword id="19933343" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="geojit-financial-services" source="keywords">Geojit Financial Services</keyword>, pointed out that after the recent surge, "the benchmark indices experienced a sideways movement today as investors engaged in profit booking at elevated levels." He further added that market participants are eagerly awaiting the second-quarter earnings report, which could provide clarity on future earnings potential. <h2>Global factors and FPI activity</h2>One of the key drivers behind the <keyword id="6357440" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="stock-market" source="Orion">stock market</keyword> rally in recent weeks has been the US Federal Reserve’s decision to loosen its monetary policy, with a significant 50-basis-point cut in interest rates. This move has resulted in a flow of capital from the US to markets like India, where policy rates are higher, thus providing attractive returns. The looser monetary policy in the US has encouraged foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to continue investing in Indian equities. FPIs have remained net buyers in India for the fourth consecutive month, further supporting the stock indices. As per data from the <keyword id="20070086" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="national-securities-depository-limited" source="keywords">National Securities Depository Limited</keyword> (NSDL), FPIs have purchased Indian stocks worth ₹48,822 crore in September alone, a trend that has bolstered market confidence. The strong FPI inflows reflect optimism about India's economic prospects and its equity market returns. <h2>Sectoral performance and outlook</h2>Despite the overall market decline, the performance varied across different sectors. Public sector banks, defence, and railway stocks, which had seen significant buying interest earlier, took a backseat as pharma, private banks, and mid-size IT companies began to attract attention due to their appealing valuations. These sectors are now expected to drive the next market phase in the coming quarters, according to Krishna Appala, Senior Research Analyst at Capitalmind Research. The markets traded in a narrow range for most of the day, with little overall movement despite positive global cues. An early rebound in the IT sector briefly boosted the indices, but the gains were short-lived. The broader indices, including the Nifty and Sensex, remained largely flat, echoing the sluggish performance of heavyweight stocks. Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President of Research at Religare Broking, noted that "sector-wise, pharma and energy posted solid gains, while banking and real estate sectors saw profit booking." Looking ahead, Mishra maintained a bullish outlook on the markets, advising investors to use periods of consolidation or dips to accumulate quality stocks. He added that, in the absence of any significant domestic triggers, global markets will likely set the direction for Indian equities. On the Nifty index, he anticipated strong support around the 25,900-26,000 zone, with an upside target at 26,500. <h2>Technical insights</h2>Hrishikesh <keyword id="23343291" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="yedve" source="keywords">Yedve</keyword>, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd., shared his technical analysis of the <keyword id="20105832" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nifty-and-bank-nifty" source="keywords">Nifty and Bank Nifty</keyword> indices. He observed that while the Nifty started the day on a flat note and registered a new lifetime high, it eventually faced profit booking and closed marginally lower. "Technically, the index on a daily scale has formed a small red candle, but on the weekly scale, it has formed a big green candle," Yedve explained. He added that as long as Nifty holds above the 26,000 level, a "buy on dips" strategy should be followed, with an immediate short-term target of 26,500. On the Bank Nifty front, Yedve pointed out that the index started on a weak note and remained under pressure throughout the day, closing at 53,834. He highlighted the formation of a bearish Marubozo candle on the daily chart, which signals potential short-term weakness. However, on the weekly scale, Bank Nifty remains above the breakout point of a rounding bottom pattern, indicating strength. "In the short term, Bank Nifty may witness consolidation or profit taking, but any dip around 53,350-53,400 will offer fresh buying opportunities," Yedve advised. <h2>Market wrap-up and outlook</h2>Reflecting on the week’s performance, <keyword id="23343292" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="amol-athawale" source="keywords">Amol Athawale</keyword>, VP-Technical Research at Kotak Securities, noted that the benchmark indices had maintained positive momentum, with the Nifty ending 1.5% higher and the Sensex gaining over 1,030 points. <keyword id="20102108" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="metal" source="keywords">Metal</keyword> and auto stocks were the standout performers, with the Metal index rising by 7% and the Auto index by 4.5%. Athawale highlighted the importance of the Nifty and Sensex breaching key resistance levels of 26,000/85,000 last week, which has provided a boost to market sentiment. Technically, Athawale pointed to the formation of a bullish candle on the weekly charts and an uptrend continuation pattern on the daily and intraday charts, signalling a potential continuation of the rally. However, he cautioned that "buying on dips and selling on rallies would be the ideal strategy for short-term traders." He identified 26,100/85,300 as crucial support zones for the Nifty and Sensex, with resistance expected around 26,400-26,500/85,900-86,300. As for Bank Nifty, Athawale described the medium-term outlook as bullish but noted that overbought conditions could lead to range-bound activity in the near term. He suggested that 53,500-53,100 would serve as key support zones, while profit booking could occur near 54,500-54,800. (With inputs from agencies)

Indian markets ease as profit booking follows record-breaking streak

The <keyword id="19950208" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BSE-Sensex" source="keywords">BSE Sensex</keyword> climbed up by as much as 1,400 points during the day, to close at 84544.31. Nifty wasn't far behind, inching up over 1% during the day to close at 25790.95. What is driving this rally? And this is not just the secondary market. The primary market, i.e. IPO subscriptions are also witnessing a stellar surge in investor interest. The IPOs of Northern Arc Capital and Arkade Developers, which closed yesterday, were oversubscribed 117 times and 113 times, respectively, largely on the back of significant investments made via the QIB and NII categories. But the question is, what is driving this frenzy, which comes on the heels of the Fed's recent announcement slashing interest rates by a significant 50 basis points? Experts explain that the most direct impact of the rate cut comes in the form of higher <keyword id="20078820" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-capital-inflows" source="keywords">foreign capital inflows</keyword> into emerging markets like India. The impending anticipation of this is what is driving the rally witnessed in the stock market today. As per data from NSDL’s FPI monitor, foreign investors infused a net total of Rs 2,341.64 crore in Indian equity markets via stock exchanges, as of September 19th, 2024. Data shows that September has seen inflows of around Rs 27,862 crores in first half of September. This is around 4 times the flows seen during the entire month of August. Just within this week (till September 19), FPI inflows have touched Rs 5,419 crores. Palka Arora Chopra. Director, <keyword id="23251477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Master-Capital-Services" source="keywords">Master Capital Services</keyword> Ltd explains that the current upswing in the stock market results from market forecasts of increased foreign inflows into India following the Fed rate decrease. “This, combined with the fact that US jobless claims are at their lowest since May 2024, have alleviated concerns about the US labor market failing, rather, it is simply slowing down. This is also why the Dow Jones Industrial Averages and S&amp;P 500 index surged to 1.7%, and Asia saw a rise in markets across Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong”, she continued. Riding on the tide of higher foreign inflows is the strengthening of Indian Rupee. Already, the rupee has regained strength from a high of 84.0 to 83.7 over the last week, and this trend may continue in the near term. Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd notes that historically, emerging markets tend to outperform during the onset of a rate-cut cycle in the U.S. “Indian markets, backed by robust fundamentals, remain resilient despite concerns over valuations. Large-cap stocks, particularly in the private banking sector, continue to look attractive, fueling the current bullish momentum. This positive trend is expected to persist unless significant negative developments arise on the domestic or global front”, he highlights. Mr. Pradeep Gupta, Co-founder &amp; Vice-chairman, Anand Rathi Group notes that this rate cut comes with some short-term benefits for the country, which means stronger rupee and potential capital inflows. "A stronger rupee would make imports cheaper, potentially improving India’s trade balance. However, these advantages may be temporary if the US economy continues to weaken. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may follow the Fed’s lead but not immediately. Improved global sentiment could drive a rally in <keyword id="19991358" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-markets" source="keywords">Indian markets</keyword>, as emerging economies like India become more attractive to investors", notes Gupta. But note that in the longer term, the direction of the Indian stock market will depend largely on global economic conditions, and particularly the health of the US economy. If the US achieves a “soft landing”, as is targeted by Fed, and avoids a recession, Indian equities may experience gradual growth. However, if the global outlook deteriorates, Indian markets—especially mid and small-cap segments, could come face to face with increased volatility and market downturns. <h2>What should your investment strategy be?</h2>SEBI registered Investment Advisor Gaurav Goel advises having a thorough look at your portfolio whenever the equity markets hit a fresh high. Look, it is practically impossible to time the markets. But, as a smart investor, markets hitting a fresh high is a good time to rebalance your portfolio, so that you can cushion your funds from any significant downturn that will invariably stem from any market downturns thereafter "When equities hit all time highs, there is a natural tendency of equity component of your asset allocation to breach the prescribed asset allocation. In such a situation, on should reassess the asset allocation and shave off excess percentages from the equity allocation to revert to the mean". Goel also suggests hedging a portion of your portfolio by buying naked long dated put options on benchmark index like Nifty 50. This way, you'd be able to benefit from a decrease in the prices of underlying assets, without having to own it. But most importantly, "At these crests, its important to shuffle your portfolio. Remove the crap, low-value stocks that might have made their in your portfolio during bullish phase, and replace with high quality stocks. Shift your assets more toward the large cap stocks/index funds where the volatility would be less or towards sector/market caps, which are less expensive on valuations", Goel continued. As for traders looking to make the most of the ongoing upward trajectory of the market, Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst, Technical &amp; Derivatives, Angel One, advises "capitalizing on the upward momentum by taking profits, rather than adopting an aggressive stance in the overbought territory". "From a technical perspective, we have entered a phase where the market is overbought, as indicated by various metrics. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid complacency and instead adopt a practical and realistic approach to the current situation", he continued. Anirudh Garg- Founder and Fund Manager at Invasset PMS explains that "When markets hit an all-time high, investors need to reassess their strategies to navigate potential risks while still capitalizing on opportunities. However, it’s essential to understand that not every market high signals overvaluation. There’s a key difference between markets reaching record levels and being fundamentally expensive. Identifying this distinction helps avoid premature decisions based solely on market peaks". "In particular, when mid-cap and small-cap stocks exhibit stretched valuations, investors should shift their focus to high-quality companies. These are firms with robust balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, and strong competitive advantages, often found in sectors linked to steady inflation", says Garg. Naturally, quality stocks tend to be more resilient in volatile environments, offering stability and better protection against downside risk. Also, don't forget to keep an eye out for the risk-reward ratio, which becomes critical during expensive markets. This involves diversifying portfolios, avoiding overexposure to overheated sectors, and focusing on capital preservation while seeking reasonable returns.

Indian markets surging to all time highs today: What's happening post Fed decision?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Baron Durable Advantage Fund, managed by Alex Umansky, is up 136% in five years.</li><li>The fund focuses on high-quality companies with competitive advantages and reasonable valuations.</li></ul>Baron Capital is synonymous with growth investing. Its founder, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ron-baron-portfolio-stocks-to-buy-where-to-invest-funds-2023-11">Ron Baron</a>, is well-known for successfully betting on high-flying stocks like Tesla and Spotify. As of 2023, the firm has had 31 stocks return at least 1,000% throughout its four-decade history.But believe it or not, amid its myriad of high-growth strategies, the blue-chip investment management firm has a more cautious product. It's the Baron Durable Advantage Fund (<a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=7454ceebc60f0af3e0173f53c429b883000835f5773cb3085c56160bc1b5b58a&amp;postID=66f485ab0c43543ec7981b8e&amp;postSlug=top-stocks-to-buy-ai-competitive-advantage-baron-capital-umansky-2024-10&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningstar.com%2Ffunds%2Fxnas%2Fbdaix%2Fquote">BDAIX</a>), overseen by one of the firm's star managers, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stocks-to-buy-500-percent-upside-where-invest-baron-funds-2023-12">Alex Umansky</a>. The strategy is focused less on stocks with huge upside and more on safer, mature companies. It's "the closest thing we have to an all-weather fund," Umansky told Business Insider."Baron Capital is a growth shop," he continued. "This is probably one of the lowest-growth strategies we have."Don't let that description fool you, however. Despite its more careful, lower-volatility approach, the Durable Advantage Fund is up 136% in the last half-decade, dwarfing the S&amp;P 500's 93% gain over that time. Year-to-date, the fund is also beating the S&amp;P 500, returning 24.7%.Umansky has a couple of parameters for which stocks get included in the fund. First, they have to be high-quality. For Umansky, that means the firms regularly generate returns on the capital they invest, their management teams are proven, they are industry leaders, and — as the name of the fund implies — they are well-positioned for the future thanks to their competitive advantages.The second main component is valuation. Valuations need to be reasonable enough to expect solid returns going forward. Many of the stocks in the fund, like Nvidia, for example, weren't added until they had pullbacks large enough to make them compelling, Umansky said.When putting a stock in the fund, Umansky said he has so much confidence in the quality and advantages of the business that he intends to hold it forever.Business Insider asked Umansky about some of the holdings he's particularly excited about — including some recent additions, and some that have resided in the fund for a few years now.<h2 id="61220cb3-3a46-4a1d-b58a-a05562417b81">8 stocks Umansky is betting on</h2>Umansky, who also manages the Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund (BFTHX), which is up 47% over the last 12 months, said that artificial intelligence is a pervading theme in many of his picks these days."Our research suggests that this is going to dramatically change the way people do business," he said.While Umansky said it's too early to pick some of the winners in areas like software and services, there are clear winners emerging in hardware.Broadcom (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/avgo-stock">AVGO</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/tsmc-stock">TSMC</a>) are two examples, Umansky said. The semiconductor producers make up 4.1% and 4.3%, respectively, of the Baron Durable Advantage Fund."They do the plumbing, basically," he said. "They sell the ammunition."Both of the firms have very strong balance sheets with free cash flow yields above 5%. Umansky said the two stocks were recent additions to the portfolio.But there are some software-oriented firms whose revenues are already seeing a boost from AI, Umansky said.Meta (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/meta-stock">META</a>), Microsoft (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/msft-stock">MSFT</a>), and Amazon (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/amzn-stock">AMZN</a>) are three included in his fund."Meta is already generating billions of dollars from artificial intelligence by being able to target better, by improving engagement, and by getting better click-through rates," Umansky said."Amazon is one of the leaders in AI, and this will accelerate growth for their cloud computing," he continued. "Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI, and so they already have billions of dollars coming in from their copilot."The firms also have relatively low valuations, Umansky said. Meta's 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio is 23.5, while Microsoft's is 32.6 and Amazon's is 32.5. The three stocks are the largest holdings in the portfolio, with Microsoft taking the top billing at an 8.6% weighting.Microsoft has long been a constituent of the fund, while Meta and Amazon were added during the bear-market pullback of 2022.But the fund isn't only AI-adjacent stocks. Umansky highlighted three financial services companies he likes, one being insurance firm Arch Capital (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/acgl-stock">ACGL</a>)."Best-in-class management team, the best execution that we have seen in that space for probably 10 years," he said. "That's been a home run for us."The two others are Blackstone (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/bx-stock">BX</a>) and Apollo Global Management (<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/apo-stock">APO</a>), both investment management companies.Lower interest rates should benefit Blackstone because of its real-estate investments, Umansky said, and the bearish sentiment around the commercial real-estate space has the stock trading at an attractive valuation.Growing interest in alternative investments like real-estate and private equity should boost Apollo, meanwhile. And Umansky is bullish on its leadership team."We think it's an exceptionally well-managed business," he said.Apollo was recently added to the fund, while Blackstone and Arch have been in the fund for at least a couple of years.
