PMS
identifies
firms with high pricing power that helps sustain a wide gap between returns on
capital employed and cost of equity. The portfolio aims to hold such firms for
8-10 years on average where healthy returns are generated with volatility like
that of a government bond. Portfolio Construction involves a two-stage process:
1)
Filter based
approach to create an investible universe of 30-35 stocks
2) In-depth bottom-up research of such companies
in the universe to assess sustainable competitive moats to build a portfolio of
10-20 stocks that deliver healthy compounded earnings growth over long periods
of time.
Corporate
Governance:-The
foremost step to building an investment portfolio is to identify and staying
away from companies which are not clean in terms of accounting. This is the
universe of companies that is studied for investing.
Consistent
Compounders:-Being
clean in accounting doesn’t mean that company has a potential to compound
investors’ wealth. So, how do you find such companies that are not only clean,
but also compound wealth? Amongst world’s large economies, India is the only
economy where one can find in sector after sector, either one or at most two
companies
accounting
for maximum profit share of that sector”
