Conversation with Mr. Samit Vartak, Sageone Investment Manager
Sage One investment Philosophy
SageOne believes in and stands by the following philosophy while investing:
SageOne believes in investing in high-growth businesses. They trace and track companies that gain and hold market share, contributing significantly to their earnings growth. The criteria they apply while selecting these businesses is they should have long-term growth potential of more than 20% per annum and 25% at the portfolio level. Those businesses that satisfy the earlier stated criteria should not require additional dilution of equity to achieve growth. This does not apply to financial companies with a long-term growth potential above 20%.
SageOne believes in and is known for dealing with clean and competent management. While investing, there is always a threat of fraud. There is much management that steals from the investor’s money. SageOne maintains a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to such control. They prefer letting go of a supposedly good opportunity if they hold even a tiny doubt about the management’s integrity.
SageOne believes in sustainable competitive advantage. They look for companies and businesses which have a long-term competitive advantage. This shall be validated by their market leadership. They focus on industries that appeal to them from a long-term value creation point of view. SageOne keeps a close and active look at Return on Capital. Return on Capital is an excellent indicator of the quality of the management team and the competitive advantage of a business. ROCE and ROE of at least 20% achieved without an excessive amount of leverage are what SageOne focuses on.
SageOne maintains its primary focus on superior and high-growth businesses. They would not buy a weak business irrespective of its price. SageOne believes that the winners will take care of themselves to avoid the losers within the practical investment market.
