Fund Purpose
The primary objective of the Fundamental-Based / Value-Oriented Approach is to deploy a rigorous, bottom-up investment process designed to generate superior long-term absolute returns. By combining deep fundamental analysis with a strict value orientation, the strategy actively targets undervalued or underfollowed Indian equities that trade at a significant discount to their intrinsic worth, ensuring an optimal margin of safety while compounding investor wealth across multi-year horizons.
Fund Philosophy
Core Focus on Business Fundamentals
The strategy bases all investment allocations strictly on deep-dive corporate metrics, earnings quality, and competitive advantages rather than reacting to short-term market sentiment, liquidity movements, or broader macroeconomic predictions.
Exploiting Value and Intrinsic Mispricings
The philosophy relies on identifying situations where companies trade significantly lower than their intrinsic value, actively looking to acquire great businesses at fair valuations or good businesses at heavily discounted prices.
Intensive Private Equity Style Diligence
Portfolio selection incorporates an exhaustive proprietary diligence framework that mimics private equity methodologies, utilizing local presence and thorough secondary channel checks ("scuttlebutt") to gain a distinct research edge.
Disciplined Margin of Safety Implementation
Every capital entry requires a demonstrable margin of safety to protect against downside risk, and the strategy strictly dictates partial or full exit allocations once that valuation gap narrows and the margin is eroded.
Long-Term Ownership Mentality
Capital is deployed with a clear objective to hold positions for several years, allowing the fundamental operational growth and compounding potential of the underlying corporate entities to fully manifest in the portfolio's net asset value.

In accordance with the regulatory boundaries defined by SEBI for Portfolio Management Services (PMS) in India, the minimum investment amount mandatory to onboard into the Fundamental-Based / Value-Oriented Approach is ₹5,000,000 (₹50 Lakhs).
The fixed advisory fee is structured as 0.375% computed against the client's Assets Under Management (AUM) from the preceding quarter. This equates to a recurring annualized asset management rate of approximately 1.5%.
The strategy implements a profit-sharing performance framework. It charges a variable fee of 15% on the absolute capital gains generated within the portfolio at the close of the financial year, keeping manager compensation directly tied to portfolio performance.
The strategy applies a tiered exit load structure to discourage short-term trading. If capital is redeemed within the first year of deployment, a 3% fee is levied; it scales down to 2% during the second year, drops to 1% in the third year, and features no exit loads thereafter.
The BSE 500 Total Returns Index tracks the top 500 companies across large, mid, and small-cap domains including dividend distributions. This fits the fund's flexible mandates, as the strategy searches for deep value and mispriced opportunities across the entire multi-cap corporate landscape.
