Looking for world-class, well governed companies at the heart of India's growth story
The first-hand quality seeker: intensive first-hand research and regular company visits identify world-class organisations that we believe can deliver sustainable long-term growth and weather Indian market volatility.
The independent-minded investor: we are not afraid to be different by focusing on those companies and sectors that offer sustained potential to share in India’s long-term growth story, regardless of their index or sector weightings.
The governance champion: we actively engage with companies to improve the treatment of minority shareholders and reject companies we perceive to have poor management, regardless of their short-term momentum or high market profile.
