Many of their beliefs and values have been put to the test as a result of the recent market turmoil. It’s natural in these times to reflect on the current situation, and we at Ambit also spent some time doing so. As previously discussed, a detailed stress test of your portfolio companies focused on Survive + Thrives yielded extremely positive results.
Consistent outperformance, on the other hand, is an outcome, and while many factors contribute to this outcome, it is widely attributed to a combination of the following.
- Stringent quantitative filters,
- Deep research and focus,
- High focus on earnings growth and earnings quality (lower obsession with timing when one is investing in a superior calibre of companies) and
- Risk.
Investment approach
Overcoming disruptions and evolutionary modifications over long periods require unique DNA.
Investigate strength – comprehend how this DNA has delivered a track record of consistency for more than 10-15 years. We believe that history serves as a mirror into the future.
The ideal mindset is collaborating with a business while maintaining a long-term investment perspective rather than simply purchasing stocks.
Portfolio companies are expected to consistently deliver earnings CAGRs in the mid to high teens.
B2C sectors (such as consumption and banking) and large established players are typically sector leaders.
Consistent returns in a low-risk environment, ignoring macro and micro trends
If the holding period is at least three years, historical data indicates a high possibility of capital protection.
Market leaders in B2C sectors:
The majority of Coffee Can PMS companies dominate their markets and have an unrivalled comparative edge in their major sectors.
