in the success of a company

enterprises, These are the quali�es investors like us look for.

poten�al.

• Consistency, earnings growth and quality of earnings is what

we look for

• Good earnings visibility indicates the health and profitability of

a business and leads to be�er stock apprecia�on

• There is greater focus on conversion of profits into free cash

flow and strong balance sheet

• We look for companies that double their profits in 4 years or

less or EV/EBITDA can halve in 4 Years

• We live in a disrup�ve era and it is important to be

mindful of both macro and micro events and trends that

can make or change fortunes of sectors and businesses

• Corporate Events like merger, demerger unlock value for

the shareholders.

• Such company events and economic trends are closely

tracked for opportuni�es

• Trends and themes like Digital, electrical mobility,

renewable energy etc offer newer opportuni�es for

investments.

• Its not possible to �me the market and we don’t

a�empt.

• As you can't �me the market, having pa�ence with

your investments is very crucial.

• Every company/sector goes through business cycles

and catching any upcycle leads to poten�ally higher

returns.

• We believe in the concept of mean-reversion

• A developing economy like India offers mul�ple

structural opportuni�es which are secular and

Chase Momentum We would let fundamentals drive our investment decision rather than price movements

Avoid the four “C”s

Churn Unnecessarily

Copy & Mimic

Analyze, research, be convinced and then BUY. Once done, STAY PUT. No needlesschurning of the por�olio

We will not be influenced by ‘herd mentality’. All investments have to be necessarilyworked internally

Credit Risk - Fractured Balance Sheet

We believe it is very difficult to rebuild a broken balance sheet and these stockseventually turn value traps and hence, are best avoided
