Investment Philosophy

The Carnelian Capital Compounder Strategy PMS adheres to a philosophy that attributes investing success to the ability to make well-judged decisions consistently over an extended period. These decisions are characterized by objectivity, a lack of bias, a thorough consideration of probable outcomes, and an assessment of risk-reward scenarios.

Their approach includes investing in high-growth businesses led by superior management teams and acquired at fair valuations. They recognize that a margin of safety is not solely dependent on the price; it also comes from meticulous research and analysis. Moreover, they assert that genuine investment success requires original conviction rather than relying on the beliefs or strategies of others.

The strategy embraces a contrarian stance when the risk-reward dynamics are particularly favorable, as following the crowd often leads to average returns. Patience and a long-term view are central to their philosophy, likening investing to the slow and steady growth of grass. They prioritize certain returns over immediate gains and are comfortable holding cash if no compelling investment opportunities are present.
