Our Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy is based on two fundamental principles

Buying when the future is uncertain

A stock is available cheap only when the general market does not expect it to do well in the short-term. Therefore, if an investor wishes to beat the market he/she should purchase the stock before the market does. If one is confident about the quality of the company and its long-term earnings power, then its short-term price movement should be of less importance.

Seeking to avoid permanent loss

For an investor the real risk in the stock market is the risk of permanent loss. All shares are subject to price fluctuations; therefore temporary losses are unavoidable. Permanent loss occurs when an investment is made in a substandard business, in a company where the management is questionable or at a price that is exorbitantly high. As the legendary Seth Klarman says: The avoidance of loss is the surest way to ensure a profitable outcome

Our Investment Process

Our meticulous and robust investment process distils our investment choices. We start with the investing universe of 6,000 listed companies in India and work our way down step-by-step to arrive at our investment universe of 160-180 companies. The stringent filters applied during the investment process gives us the portfolio of 20-25 companies. These filters include price, growth prospects and management quality. The investment process also includes a clearly articulated Sell Discipline to realise the value of the investment when it fulfils its potential.

The investment process consists of

Screening the investment Universe
Screening all possible choices to create an investment universe of acceptable quality
  • A track record of at least 15 years
  • Consistency in generating a high level of return on capital employed
  • Consistency in generating positive free cash flows
  • A minimum acceptable level of revenues
Filter the Investment Universe
Further filter the universe on the basis of growth prospects and management quality
  • The ability of the company to grow its sales and profits over the next 3-5 years
  • The ability of the company to do this without consistently resorting to additional external funding
  • The track record of management in capital allocation decisions, and in treating minority shareholders fairly
Portfolio Construction
Construct the portfolio using filters of valuation levels
  • The valuation at the time of entry into the portfolio is lower than its average valuation for the previous decade and / or
  • The valuation is lower than the expected growth rate in earnings over the foreseeable future
