Peace of Mind Investing
We love to practice what we call "PEACE OF MIND INVESTING".
- Whereby investing is joyful and a rewarding experience without having to frequently worry about a big mood and portfolio swings.
- Stock markets keep fluctuating almost all the times, nevertheless our investment philosophy endeavours to ensure a goodnight sleep in good and bad times alike, while generating superior risk adjusted returns over medium to long term.
Skin in the Game
We very much have our “skin and soul in the game”.
- We follow the same high standards of investment management for all of our investments. As we sow shall we reap, as regards all our investments decisions.
Be Fearful when others are Greedy; and Greedy when others are Fearful
Famously said by Warren Buffet
- We shall strive to put this into action. This is applicable to markets at large and to sectors as well.
- It is only rational to buy low and sell high for us, as it is always easier said than done and nobody can successfully call the bottoms or the tops.
- The same philosophy also guides us to avoid being overly emotional about Mr. Market’s pendulum swings and on the contrary make the best from such opportunities occurring at times.
- In this manner we can put into effect, combination of value and contrarian investment styles in action.
Our Investment thinking is Stock specific
Superior returns are generated from investing in high quality businesses
- In the long run we firmly believe superior returns are generated from investing in high quality businesses; rather than targeting perceived cheaper companies for their cigarette butt value.
- Such high quality companies have withstood test of times and come out stronger.
- It also helps us to avoid falling into deceivingly attractive value traps which eventually lead to wealth destruction, if one were to allocate an investible pool of capital on consistent basis.
Risk Management
There is nothing called Risk Free Return.
- Risk is inherent in investments & we believe there is nothing called Risk Free Return. Our endevour is to protect and enhance the value of investments
- Equity Investment is Risky in the Short Term, but rewarding in the long term.
- We strive to avoid irrational exuberance and maintain margin of safety in our investment decisions.
Time in the Market matters more than Timing the Market
We are not timing oriented investors
- We are not timing oriented investors as long as other factors are constructive for investments.
- Once an investment amount is committed, we don’t believe in timing the market as long as the investment on the whole meets our investment philosophy.
- To a large extent, time in the market matters more than timing the market. Provided that we can avoid few instances of irrational exuberances and market excesses.
- More often than not, hidden cost of missing an investible opportunity has a much higher order impact on overall investment performance.
- Mostly investors tend to focus on high returns, we focus on both superior returns and its sustainability.
