Investment Strategy
This Scheme aims to achieve its objectives by investing in strong companies at prices which are below fair value in the opinion of the fund managers.

The Scheme defines a "strong company" as one that has the following characteristics :
  • strong management, characterized by competence and integrity
  • strong position in its business (preferably market leadership)
  • efficiency of operations, as evidenced by profit margins and asset turnover, compared to its peers in the industry
  • working capital efficiency
  • consistent surplus cash generation
  • high profitability indicators (returns on funds employed)

In common parlance, such companies are also called 'Blue Chips'.

The Scheme defines "reasonable prices" as :
  • a market price quote that is around 30% lower than its value, as determined by the discounted value of its estimated future cash flows
  • a P/E multiple that is lower than the company's sustainable Return on funds employed
  • a P/E to growth ratio that is lower than those of the company's competitors
  • in case of companies in cyclical businesses, a market price quote that is around 50% lower than its estimated replacement cost

Note : The Scheme does not consider it essential for all companies in the portfolio to satisfy all these criteria. These are used as guidelines for assessing the valuation of companies.
