Investment Philosophy
- Their investment philosophy is built on a high-conviction, hybrid, data-driven strategy.
- Their research and investments use a top-down method to identify select sectors with the strongest prospects, as well as a bottom-up, fundamentals-based approach to pick stocks within these sectors.
- They follow a similar strategy for debt investments, where we always hunt for ways to profit from the discrepancy between the market and intrinsic value of debt instruments.
- The portfolios are well-diversified, risk-adjusted, and well-researched.
Key Features
Concentrated portfolio of 25-30 high conviction stocks.
• Bottom-up sector-agnostic investment approach.
• Optimum mix of large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap (Large-cap biased with ~61% in large-cap stocks).
• The scheme follows an SCDV (Secular, Cyclical, Defensives and Value Trap) investment framework.
SCDV Investment Framework
They divide the investment framework into four segments. Those are:
- S- Secular – Companies with consistent ROE & PAT growth > 15%
- C- Cyclical – Companies with PAT growth > 15% but ROE < 15%
- D- Defensive – Companies with ROE > 15% but PAT growth < 15%
- V- Value Traps – Companies with both ROE & PAT growth < 15%
