OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our Unique MEETS Framework

- Capital Distribution – fair to minority shareholders
- Error in decision – Business errors vs avoidable mishaps
Earnings

- Actual earnings vs expected
- Cyclical vs Structural earnings
- Companies that can double profits in 4 years or less or where EV/EBITDA can halve in four years
Events/Trends

- Can be Buy or Sell opportunity
- Events on the horizon

Timing
- What is the price discounting
- Time frame of investment
- Mean reversion
- Good company is not necessarily a good investment if price is not right
Structural

Investment Philosophy
Alpha generators
- Believe in investing with an endeavor to generate alpha over the markets rather than just allocating within benchmark index
- Companies where profitability is expected to grow higher than market average
- Fundamentally underpriced stocks with reasonable growth expectations
Fundamental driven
- Bottom-up research with focus on balance sheet
- Numbers speak more than presentations and hype
- Returns ultimately are all about earnings
Risk reward equation
- Expected returns must justify the risk / uncertainty taken
- A good company might not necessarily be a good stock
- Focus on the price we pay, and value derived
- What is in the price?
Agile and flexible
- Each investment opportunity is looked upon individual merit
- Not constrained to a particular theme or style
- Effectively adapt to changing investment landscape
Patient investors
- Buy and hold
- Invest in a stock as if investing in a business
- Think like a partner
- Active portfolio adjustments to align with market conditions
Happy to be contrarian
- Prefer to be first, early investors
- Do not chase the momentum
- Open to look at companies across sectors and market caps and business cycle
