The Dhandho Investor SUMMARY Chapter 14 Dhandho 403: Invest in the Copycats rather than the Innovators
The thousands upon thousands of Patels who simply copied the model did not innovate; they simply lifted a proven idea and scaled it.
CASE STUDY: MCDONALD’S
After buying over the rights from McDonald brothers, Ray Kroc introduced changes and innovations not from within but by copying the street-smart franchisees and competitors. They did create innovations at headquarters with some of the famous flops over the years such as Hulaburger that featured a slice of pineapple instead of meat.
CASE STUDY: MICROSOFT
The famous MS-DOS that was licensed to IBM wasn’t developed in-house. It was lifted from Seattle Computer. Also the mouse and graphical user interface from Apple. Excel from Lotus 1-2-3 and VisiCalc. Word from Word Perfect and PowerPoint was acquired. Xbox was inspired by Nintendo and PlayStation.
CASE STUDY: PABRAI INVESTMENT FUNDS
Pabrai Funds is cloned from Buffett Partnerships. BP has no management fees but only performance fees. Investors will pay only when there’s a return of at least 6 percent a year. Above that 25% will be taken by Buffett and the rest to the investors. Most hedge funds charge 1-2% management fees. This is a giant moat!
Buffett also reinvested virtually all his fees back into the partnerships which made him to become the largest investor in the partnerships. He also does not disclose his holdings to his investors. This keeps noise and distractions down to a minimum. He runs a concentrated fund with hundred families invested whom became his salesforce to bring in more investors. Pabrai Funds cloned this and $300 + million in assets belongs to about 400 families all around the world. Plus there are no analysts or other partners. Even now Berkshire is all managed by Warren Buffett when it comes to major investment decisions, Munger will be consulted. It’s a one man race. Back to Buffett Partnerships, he will only give performance report once a year. All these attracted the right investors and created a wide moat. It is the Dhandho way!
