Stallion Asset

About Stallion Asset: SEBI-Registered Portfolio Manager

Stallion Asset is an Indian investment management firm focused on equity investing through Portfolio Management Services (PMS). The business developed from a research-led foundation, with its research desk established in 2016 and its PMS licence obtained in 2018. The Stallion Asset Core Fund was also launched in 2018.

The legal entity operating the PMS business is Stallion Asset Private Limited, incorporated in Maharashtra under Corporate Identification Number (CIN) U65990MH2018PTC305551. The company is headquartered in Mumbai, with its corporate address at Jet Prime Building, Suren Road, Andheri East, and its registered address at Brighton Tower, Lokhandwala Complex, Andheri West.

The firm identifies itself as a growth investor. Its investment approach centres on finding companies that can potentially grow faster than the Indian economy over time. Rather than evaluating businesses solely through conventional valuation multiples, its stated framework considers competitive positioning, the scale of the market opportunity, management quality and margin of safety.

Stallion Asset provides discretionary portfolio management services. Under a discretionary mandate, investment selection and timing are handled by the portfolio manager in accordance with the client agreement and applicable regulations.

The firm also has a separately registered Research Analyst division. Its terms and disclosures distinguish the research business from the portfolio management business, including their respective activities and research processes. The two registrations should therefore be understood according to their specific regulatory scope.

For investors researching Stallion Asset, the principal areas of interest are its growth-investing philosophy, the 4 M's framework, its approach to rotating between market leaders, and the PMS strategies available through ALTPORT.

Stallion Asset Registration and Corporate Details

Stallion Asset Private Limited publishes the following corporate and regulatory details.

The Portfolio Manager registration covers the company's PMS activities, while the Research Analyst registration relates to its separately operated research services.

A Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is a distinct investment structure from a PMS. The available company-level information does not establish a separately registered Category III AIF product offered by Stallion Asset through ALTPORT. Consequently, an AIF registration or product should not be inferred from its PMS and Research Analyst registrations.

Investors should refer to the applicable regulatory disclosures for the latest registration details and permitted activities.

What Is Stallion Asset's Investment Philosophy?

Stallion Asset describes its approach as growth investing. The central idea is to identify businesses with the potential to expand their earnings over time, supported by favourable market conditions, competitive advantages and effective management.

The firm's investment-selection framework is known as the 4 M's: Market Leadership, Market Opportunity, Management and Margin of Safety. These four considerations provide a framework for assessing business quality and the sustainability of potential growth.

1. Market Leadership

Market Leadership focuses on a company's competitive position within its industry. Stallion Asset looks for established market leaders or businesses with the potential to emerge as leaders.

The underlying consideration is whether a company has advantages that can help it sustain its position as the industry develops. Competitive differentiation, barriers to entry and the ability to maintain a strong market position are relevant to this assessment.

The objective is to identify businesses whose competitive strengths can support earnings growth over an extended period rather than relying exclusively on short-term developments.

2. Market Opportunity

Market Opportunity considers the size and growth potential of the market in which a business operates.

A company may have a strong product or competent management, but its long-term growth potential also depends on the opportunity available to it. Stallion Asset's framework therefore considers whether the addressable market is sufficiently large to support meaningful business expansion.

The firm's stated growth-investing orientation places importance on businesses that can benefit from expanding markets and sustained demand.

3. Management

Management evaluates the people responsible for running the business, allocating capital and executing its strategy.

Stallion Asset's framework emphasises management integrity, capital allocation and the ability to scale operations. These factors can influence whether a company converts market opportunities into sustainable earnings and long-term business value.

Management quality is particularly relevant when assessing growth companies because expansion requires financial discipline and effective execution alongside demand growth.

4. Margin of Safety

Margin of Safety considers the relationship between the price paid for an investment and the value that the underlying business may create over time.

The firm's stated approach places emphasis on capital allocation, cash, debt and future value creation rather than relying exclusively on price-to-earnings ratios.

A margin-of-safety assessment does not eliminate valuation risk. Business conditions, earnings expectations and market prices can change, and the estimated value of a company may not be realised.

Taken together, the 4 M's provide a business-focused framework for evaluating potential investments. They do not guarantee investment outcomes or prevent portfolio losses.

How Does Stallion Asset Use Its Buy & Rotate Investment Approach?

Stallion Asset's Buy & Rotate approach reflects its preference for identifying emerging market leaders and adjusting portfolio exposure as business leadership and investment opportunities change.

The approach differs from a rigid buy-and-hold philosophy in which the same securities are retained regardless of changes in business fundamentals or market conditions. Instead, the investment process considers whether existing holdings continue to meet the strategy's requirements and whether other businesses offer more compelling long-term opportunities.

The firm's investment terminology includes several types of opportunities:

• Core Stocks: Businesses considered important to the portfolio's central investment thesis.
• Trend Stocks: Companies benefiting from favourable developments in their businesses or industries.
• Emerging Monopolies: Businesses developing strong competitive positions or significant advantages within their markets.
• Special Situations: Opportunities arising from specific corporate or business developments that warrant individual evaluation.

These categories describe investment concepts rather than fixed portfolio allocations. The actual securities selected and the proportions allocated to different categories may change over time.

Rotation decisions can involve assessing earnings prospects, competitive positioning, management quality, valuations and the relative attractiveness of alternative opportunities. Such decisions carry risks: a change in leadership may be misjudged, a new investment may underperform, and transaction costs or market volatility may affect outcomes.

The Buy & Rotate approach should therefore be understood as part of the firm's investment decision-making process, not as a promise to identify every market leader or avoid drawdowns.

What Investment Strategies Does Stallion Asset Offer?

Stallion Asset's PMS capabilities are represented on ALTPORT by two identified offerings: the Stallion Asset Core Fund and Stallion Asset Liquid Fund. Both are associated with the same portfolio management firm, but their stated purposes differ.

Stallion Asset Core Fund

The Stallion Asset Core Fund is a multi-cap equity PMS strategy. It follows the firm's growth-oriented investment approach, with an emphasis on market leadership, business growth potential and the 4 M's framework.

The strategy's stated benchmark is the S&P BSE 500 TRI. Its investment mandate, portfolio construction and performance information should be reviewed on its dedicated investment page rather than inferred from the company's overall AUM or client base.

Stallion Asset Liquid Fund

The Stallion Asset Liquid Fund is presented as a facility for temporarily holding capital before its planned deployment into the equity-focused Core Fund. Its stated purpose is to support staggered deployment for investors who prefer not to invest their entire intended equity allocation at once.

It should not automatically be treated as a standalone substitute for a conventional liquid mutual fund or a deposit product. Investors should review its actual investment mandate, instruments, liquidity arrangements and associated risks on the dedicated page.

Strategy-specific performance, fees, benchmarks and other investment terms belong on the respective product pages and in their applicable disclosures.

Stallion Asset AUM and Client Base

Stallion Asset reported the following company-level figures on its official website:

These figures describe the scale reported by the firm at the stated date. They should not be treated as current-day figures beyond that reporting date without an updated disclosure.

AUM and client count are different measures. AUM represents the assets managed, while the client count represents the reported number of clients. Neither figure independently indicates investment performance, portfolio quality or the suitability of a strategy for a particular investor.

The company-level AUM figure should also be distinguished from the AUM of an individual PMS strategy. The Core Fund and Liquid Fund may have their own strategy-specific assets and reporting dates. Such figures should be obtained from the relevant disclosures rather than presented as the company's total AUM.

Investors comparing PMS providers should review the reporting date, measurement basis, strategy mandate and applicable performance disclosures alongside AUM and client numbers.

Meet Stallion Asset Founder and CIO: Amit Jeswani

Amit Jeswani is the founder and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Stallion Asset. He holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designations and has a business degree with a specialisation in finance from Kingston University London, according to the company's published biography.

His interest in financial markets began at a young age, influenced by his father, who worked as a stockbroker. The company identifies him with its research-led development and subsequent expansion into portfolio management.

Jeswani's investment orientation centres on identifying high-growth businesses and assessing their ability to develop competitive advantages over time. The 4 M's framework reflects the firm's stated emphasis on market leadership, market opportunity, management quality and margin of safety.

As CIO, he is associated with the firm's overall investment philosophy and portfolio management direction. The Core Fund is one of the strategies associated with his leadership.

The firm also identifies other personnel in specific roles, including a compliance officer, senior research analyst, fund manager and head of sales. Their responsibilities should be distinguished from the founder's company-wide CIO role.

Stallion Asset Funds Available Through ALTPORT

The following directory lists the identified Stallion Asset PMS offerings available for exploration on ALTPORT.

These offerings should be evaluated individually. The Liquid Fund's stated role is connected to the planned deployment process for the Core Fund; investors should review the product documentation to understand the precise arrangements and risks.

The company-level directory does not establish that Stallion Asset has launched a Category III AIF through ALTPORT.

How Does the Stallion Asset PMS Onboarding Process Work?

PMS onboarding generally involves establishing the investor's identity, completing the required documentation and opening the applicable investment account under the portfolio manager's prescribed process.

A prospective investor should expect the process to cover the following stages:

1. Initial enquiry and product information: Review the relevant strategy, investment mandate, disclosures and eligibility requirements.
2. KYC and investor documentation: Complete applicable identity, address, tax and other documentation. Additional requirements may apply depending on the investor's circumstances.
3. Agreement and account arrangements: Review and execute the applicable PMS agreement, including the investment mandate, fees, reporting arrangements and other terms.
4. Custody and funding: Complete the relevant account, custody and funding arrangements as specified in the portfolio manager's documentation.
5. Portfolio deployment: Following completion of the required formalities, the portfolio manager deploys funds in accordance with the agreed mandate and prevailing conditions.
6. Ongoing reporting: Review periodic portfolio statements, transaction information and performance reports provided under the applicable arrangements.

Stallion Asset's published disclosures provide for direct onboarding without the involvement of a broker, distributor or agent engaged in distribution services. Investors can enquire directly through the firm's official PMS contact channel.

Investors accessing products through ALTPORT should confirm the applicable onboarding route, documentation, service responsibilities and disclosures before proceeding. Information about SIP, STP and top-up options in PMS may also be relevant when reviewing permitted transaction options.
