Investment Philosophy

Motilal Oswal’s India Opportunity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a concentrated portfolio of high-growth small and mid-cap stocks with the potential to outperform nominal GDP growth over the next 5-7 years and are readily available at affordable market prices.

Their ‘Buy Right: Sit Tight’ principle underpins investment philosophy.

The Buy Right is denoted by – (QLGP):

  • The letter “Q” represents the quality of the company and its management.
  • Earnings growth and a stable RoE are denoted by the letter “G.”
  • The letter “L” represents the business’s competitive advantage or economic moat’s longevity.
  • The letter “P” represents our approach of purchasing a good business for a fair price rather than a fair business for a fair price.

Sit Tight:

  • Purchase and hold: Strictly buy and hold, believing that selecting the right business requires skill. Holding onto these businesses to allow investors to benefit from the entire growth cycle requires even more skill.
  • Focus: We prefer a high conviction portfolio of assets with 25 to 30 stocks.

We assume adequate diversification, but over-diversification dilutes returns and increases market risk.

Key Features And attributes of The Portfolio

  • The fund is a small-cap-oriented, concentrated portfolio of 25 stocks investing in high-growth companies.
  • Identifying companies in their early stages that have the potential to grow into midcap or large-cap companies, resulting in the creation of wealth.
  • In 2018, a new portfolio was created in the midst of difficult market conditions, and it outperformed the benchmark by 2.0% (CAGR).
  • Index agnostic: 89% off the benchmark, the Nifty Small-Cap 100 index.
  • The portfolio includes investments in non-lending financials, oil and gas, and consumer discretionary.

QGLP Framework for Small-caps Quality:

Motilal believes that while quality in some small-cap companies has yet to be proven, many are at the ‘point of emergence.’ Motilal defines the ‘Point of Emergence’ as the point at which a company begins to generate a return on equity greater than the cost of equity (typically 12%).

  • Growth: The correlation between small-cap companies and GDP growth is much stronger.
  • Longevity: Several more small-cap companies have enormous growth potential, allowing for a long runway for growth. Identifying high-quality management is the key to selecting the right small-cap companies.
  • Price: Prices are much more volatile. According to Motilal, “making money in small caps requires vision to see, courage to buy, and patience to hold.”
