Our Story

Our story began when we learned about 2 investors other than the legendary Warren Buffett who has famously said " Our holding period is forever". The 2 investors are an aged businessman in Mysore who was shrewd and wealthy enough to lend money to the Maharaja of Mysore and the other one is a client of an fund manager Robert Kirby.

Investor 1: The businessman in Mysore made a series of investments in Real Estate, Cashflow businesses and shares of companies such as Hindustan Lever, Vysya Bank, L&T, ITC, SBI, Karur Vysya Bank which he "never intended to sell". He eventually amassed a fortune in all 3 realms making him a very wealth man with a wealth of over ₹100 Crore putting him unwittingly in the Top 1% of the world. No one knows about him other than us and he wants to keep it that way.

Investor 2: He is a husband of the client of the fund manager Robert Kirby who purchased shares worth $5000 but never sold them. Eventually, these shares were worth $800,000. Not quite enough to put the client in the Top 1% of the world like our businessman from Mysore but nevertheless very wealthy.

This approach of investing has been called Coffee Can Investing by many people and there are Coffee Can Portfolios that are offered by many fund houses which have done pretty well compared to the general market.

We are inspired by the name since we are from South Bangalore and love coffee and also love investing. For us, Coffee Can Club is about the following:

1. Investing in assets that generate a Cash Flow
2. Investing in assets that compound
3. Helping people plan their wealth thru investing, tax planning, estate management
4. Helping people manage their professional career and their properties
