Our investment decisions are based on a set of principles, which have been guiding us over all these years. These principles are stronger than any market upswing or downturn, are logical and rational, and are deeply rooted in our desire to provide stable, consistent and superior returns to our investors.

●     Simplicity

Seek to identify simple businesses that are in a growth phase.

●        The Business-Management Matrix

There cannot be a tradeoff between business and management. Both aspects are equally important to decide if a business is worth investing in. A good business has to be backed by an able, honest and passionate management team. More often than not, such businesses are less affected in adverse times, and more importantly, always treat their smallest shareholder as their partner.

●        The Margin of Safety

Benjamin Graham, one of the best known value investors, has coined this particular term to describe companies whose shares are available at an “absolute” reasonable price and with a significant gap to their intrinsic value. We see this approach as more beneficial than a buy low-sell high approach.

●        The Longer Run

We believe in generating returns over time as compared to timing-driven returns.
