Strategy Overview
The Alchemy W.I.N Strategy is an open-ended, benchmark-agnostic portfolio management setup designed to capture long-term structural alpha across the Indian equity landscape. It operates as a multi-cap framework, allowing the fund management team full operational freedom to allocate assets dynamically across Large-cap, Mid-cap, and Small-cap companies.
The strategy is built to target companies passing strong corporate "inflection points," where an expanding business scale matches highly attractive entry valuations. Instead of tracking the exact sectoral weights of the BSE 500 index, the strategy functions with independent flexibility, holding an optimized mix of diversified stock ideas to ensure that performance tracks business growth patterns rather than index momentum.
Investment Philosophy
The investment committee governs the Alchemy W.I.N strategy by combining strict bottom-up corporate research with quantitative evaluation rules under three key frameworks:
I. The GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) Anchor
The underlying strategy rejects chasing overvalued stock momentum or buying speculative "cheap value" traps. Instead, it relies heavily on the GARP methodology. The system requires that any target company demonstrate expanding earnings power, strong operating leverage, and clear market share gains, but its market entry price must offer an acceptable valuation range relative to its forward growth trajectory.
II. Multi-Cap Asset Scaling
The strategy shifts capital seamlessly across market capitalization lines depending on prevailing macroeconomic setups. When broad small and mid-cap spaces display excessive valuation friction or liquidity drawdowns, the fund shifts to stable, large-cap market leaders to cushion the portfolio. Up to 100% of the capital can be deployed into public equities, with short-term cash reserves used tactically during macro market adjustments.
III. Comprehensive Business Moat Filters
Before any business enters the active portfolio, it undergoes a deep forensic audit targeting three distinct quality gates:
-
Structural Financial Metrics: Verifying clean corporate accounting, low levels of financial debt, strong Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), and consistent conversion of operating earnings into free cash flow.
-
Management & Aggression: Prioritizing shareholder-friendly management structures that exhibit strong execution capabilities and transparent capital allocation tracks.
-
On-Ground Scuttlebutt: Engaging with industry networks, suppliers, and competitors to validate the company's real-world market advantages before confirming an investment position.

The strategy aims to deliver sustainable, long-term absolute returns that outperform multi-cap benchmarks across different market phases. It achieves this by maintaining a long-biased, flexible portfolio of high-conviction listed equities that benefit from India's structural economic growth.
The portfolio is managed by Alok Agarwal, a seasoned finance professional with over two decades of institutional experience spanning equity research and portfolio management. Prior to managing systematic and active mandates at Alchemy, he directed flagship public equity strategies and led the offshore investment desk at PGIM India Asset Management.
In strict compliance with the framework established by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for all domestic discretionary Portfolio Management Services, the minimum initial capital commitment required to invest in the strategy is ₹50 Lakhs. This baseline allocation can be funded via cash or by delivering an equivalent basket of pre-existing listed blue-chip shares.
The framework focuses on balanced diversification to limit extreme single-stock volatility while allowing individual winners to drive meaningful performance gains. It selects investments from a well-vetted universe of public companies that have passed fundamental quality metrics, maintaining a multi-sector portfolio that is managed flexibly across large, mid, and small-cap segments.
Because the underlying GARP framework requires adequate time for corporate earnings cycles to compound and bridge valuation gaps, this strategy is optimized exclusively for long-term allocators. A minimum investment timeline of 3 to 5 years is recommended to navigate standard capital market cycles and unlock the strategy's true absolute return potential.
