We believe that investments in viable enterprises that are valued incorrectly and that can produce high and consistent revenues growth will allow excellent economic returns on a long-term basis.

A bottom-up firm evaluation process that is mixed with a country allocation structure is the main factor in our decision-making method. In depth, proprietary fundamental investigation undertaken by the group of portfolio managers and analysts on an international scope is used to uncover promising market stocks with consistent earnings growth and Economic Value Added (EVA) potentials unnoticed by the market, at appealing assessments.

Buy Discipline

Preliminary screens are used to limit the collection of investable firms by searching for firms with necessary trading liquidity, market capitalization and Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI) measurements.

When the first list is created, Research Analysts undertake additional industry-defined evaluations and screen the list further through sector-defined evaluation multiples and/or operational parameters. The Analysts and the head Portfolio Manager then create a Priority List of the top contenders for farther due diligence based on both qualitative factors and sub-sector dynamics.

Fundamental evaluation is undertaken in three phases:

1. Qualitative evaluation aims to comprehend and estimate a firm’s franchise worth, competitive edge over other firms, growth motivators and management orientation.

2. Quantitative evaluation, on the other hand, scrutinizes and assesses the firm’s financial statements for the last 1 to 2 operational cycles as well as predicts its performance through the coming 3 to 5 years.

3. Computation of fair value: Utilizing the discounted cash-flow method, along with parameters such as P/E, price/cash flow, and enterprise value/ EBITDA, we estimate a reasonable fair value price.

Sell Discipline

Stocks acquired in the portfolio are kept until a new option with better fundamentals and revenue characteristics is identified. All portfolio holdings and contenders are assessed within the scope of the general portfolio. There are no instant sales of securities; however, prospective sell stimuli may include achievement of fair value and decrease in worth or essential quality.
