About Company
Acepro Advisors Private Limited
Acepro Advisors Private Limited (branded as Ace Pro) is a SEBI-registered portfolio management firm based in Mumbai, serving as the specialized investment arm of the Sarthi Group. Since its incorporation in 2010, the firm has focused on delivering high-conviction equity strategies, including its flagship Galaxy and Large Cap portfolios, designed for long-term wealth maximization for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients. Led by industry veterans like Kunj Behari Bansal, Acepro utilizes a disciplined bottom-up research methodology and a "skin in the game" philosophy to identify fundamentally strong businesses with a significant margin of safety. As of early 2026, the firm continues to manage a niche pool of capital with a strong emphasis on transparency, liquidity, and risk-adjusted returns across the Indian capital markets.
Investment Philosophy
Acepro’s investment approach is built on a foundation of fundamental research and a "multidisciplinary" team perspective to achieve long-term wealth maximization:
- Growth at Reasonable Price (GARP): Focuses on identifying businesses with strong revenue and earning growth visibility while ensuring they are acquired at fair or attractive valuations.
- Focus on Small & High-Growth Businesses: Leverages its parent group’s (Sarthi) deep expertise in the SME ecosystem to identify emerging leaders early in their business cycles.
- Safety, Liquidity, and Returns: Operates under the "basic tenets of investment," ensuring that every portfolio maintains a balance between capital protection and wealth generation.
- Fundamental "Deep Dive" Research: Employs a rigorous stock selection process including Porter’s Five Forces analysis and intense scrubbing of corporate governance and reporting quality.
- The "Pendulum" Strategy: Invests in sectors or companies where there is a clear pricing-value mismatch, often taking contra positions in sectors poised for structural turnaround.
- High-Conviction Concentration: Typically maintains focused portfolios (e.g., 12–20 stocks) to ensure that the best research ideas meaningfully contribute to overall alpha.
- Risk Management & Drawdown Policy: Implements a stringent policy to exit positions entirely if there are doubts regarding growth visibility or management integrity.
- Promoter Alignment: Preference for businesses with capable management teams and strong internal cash flows that can withstand economic shocks without excessive leverage.
