The strategy is built on the idea that India is undergoing a transition from an unorganized to an organized economy. It seeks to identify "Enterprising" companies—those that demonstrate agility, innovation, and the ability to capture market share in sectors like manufacturing, digital services, and specialized exports.
The managers use a top-down approach to identify high-growth themes and a bottom-up approach for stock selection. They prioritize businesses with strong corporate governance, sustainable competitive advantages, and the ability to generate high cash flows while maintaining low debt levels.
No, this is a multi-sector strategy. While it has a thematic focus on "Enterprising India," it invests across various industries such as Financials, Capital Goods, Healthcare, and Consumer Discretionary. The goal is to remain diversified while overweighting sectors that are most aligned with the current phase of the economic cycle.
As a growth-oriented equity strategy, it is subject to market volatility. Specific risks include changes in government policy regarding manufacturing incentives, global demand fluctuations affecting export-oriented firms, and the valuation risk of high-growth companies during periods of rising interest rates.
Since the structural shifts the strategy targets—such as the "Make in India" initiative and digital transformation—take years to reach their full potential, a long-term perspective is essential. Investors should ideally have a time horizon of at least 5 years to benefit from the compounding growth of the underlying companies.
