Philosophy

  • Target is to create meaningful alpha in long term
  • Identify and invest in big return generating ideas and avoid momentum
  • Being contrarian is a necessity to outperform a benchmark meaningfully over the long term
  • Flexibility to allocate across cap curves and in both structural & opportunistic ideas

Investment Objective

The primary objective of the Fund will be to carry on the activity of a Category III AIF, as permissible under the AIF Regulations, to generate absolute total returns by adopting a bottom-up investment process. The portfolio will be a multi cap portfolio with investments in large, small and mid-cap stocks, as well as units of other Category III AIFs, with the objective of seeking long term capital appreciation. The Fund would have a concentrated target portfolio of about 20 (twenty) stocks which would typically range between 15 (fifteen) to 25 (twenty-five) stocks.

The number of Portfolio Entities in the portfolio is indicative and would be determined by the Investment Manager based on the opportunities, available funds for investment and market conditions. The Fund’s investments will focus predominantly on structural growth stories and a portion of allocation to cyclical turnaround stories to achieve the objective of the Fund. The Fund will invest across market caps and will be sector agnostic

Value opportunities

  • Concentrated portfolio with meaningful allocation to high conviction ideas
  • Structural high growth stories tend to get underappreciated in short term mostly
  • Low liquidity in mid & small cap space do offer large value opportunities during market down cycles

  • We are certain that the reasons for the consistent out-performance has been 1. Disciplined investment in to compounding and 2. Meaningful investment into mid and small cap opportunities in cyclical sectors.
