In an article in Forbes India Marquee, July, 2021Vasudev tells that he firmly believes in the fundamental analysis and value investing methodology, which form the bedrock of Prosperity’s investment philosophy as well. In addition, the company undertakes a due-diligence process that involves taking into account criteria such as the (i) financial strength of a company, (ii) vision and quality of the management, (iii) macroeconomic environment, (iv) future outlook and growth potential, (v) economic moat protecting the business, and (vi) field research.
