We actively invest in both listed and unlisted equity securities, focusing on businesses with strong fundamentals, scalable growth potential, and competitive advantages.

As an open-ended fund, we dynamically manage portfolios to adapt to market conditions while aiming for long-term wealth creation.

With a sector-agnostic approach and strict compliance with SEBI regulations, we ensure transparency, disciplined investing, and proactive monitoring to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns.

Tailored for HNIs and institutional investors, our fund combines rigorous research with strategic management to capitalize on India’s growth opportunities.

Our Investment Strategy/Philosophy

Our investment philosophy is built on the following core pillars:

1. Focus on Scalable Returns

We emphasize investing in businesses that consistently demonstrate the ability to generate scalable returns on incremental capital. Beyond a baseline Return on Equity (RoE) of 15%, we seek companies capable of achieving similar returns on additional capital deployed, showcasing the management’s ability to uncover and execute new growth opportunities.

2. Prioritizing Margin Expansion

Our strategy favors companies with a clear trajectory of improving operating margins, alongside maintaining a minimum margin threshold of 15%. This indicates operational efficiency, pricing power, and competitive advantages that are essential for sustained profitability and maximizing shareholder value.

3. Resilience Through Economic Cycles

We invest in businesses that have proven their resilience by successfully navigating at least one economic downturn. A strong balance sheet serves as a cornerstone of this resilience, enabling survival during challenging periods and positioning the business to seize opportunities during economic upswings.

4. Preference for Financial Stability

We avoid companies burdened by excessive leverage, as high debt levels can restrict adaptability and hinder growth potential. Our focus is on businesses with a Debt-to-Equity ratio below 100%, ensuring financial stability and operational flexibility.

5. Exclusion of Inefficient Enterprises

While public sector enterprises are integral to the economy, we exclude them from our portfolio due to inherent inefficiencies such as bureaucratic delays and suboptimal resource utilization, which can adversely impact shareholder returns.

Our disciplined investment approach is guided by rigorous criteria designed to identify high-quality opportunities while mitigating risks. These include:
