Investment Philosophy

The fund focus on process driven investing and have developed proprietary analytical models and methods which we follow rigorously to identify companies with superior risk-reward characteristics. A comprehensive set of rules guide us in our investment process and arguably reduce individual biases and mistakes.

Sameeksha PMS’s founder, Mr. Bhavin Shah, firmly believes that AI can help in navigating through data more easily, but cannot identify good companies fundamentally. So, although the team uses technology to increase efficiency of the research work or  study more companies in the same amount of time, the importance of reading beyond the lines of transcripts of conference calls is what AI cannot do, so, here comes the 140 point checklist & rules based investment approach that helps Sameeksha identify good investment opportunities at right valuations across large, mid & small cap universe.

Sameeksha follows market cap agnostic portfolio management approach with an aim to identify mis-priced large caps, and less researched small caps.

Sameeksha PMS follows a discipline of keeping right diversification with a limit on the number of stocks it holds. Also, Sameeksha PMS does not follow any model portfolio strategy, instead customizes each investors portfolio individually, which is managed well, because its in-house technology and softwares.

Like any other PMS, even Sameeksha Capital invests in businesses that have growth potential and with earnings predictability, and a clear understanding of business operations, valuation strategy applied, is what differentiates Sameeksha from others who follow growth at reasonable valuations (GARP).

Sameeksha Capital is cognizant that for large companies like HUL, it is okay to accept around 10% CAGR, but, if a higher risk is added by way of small-cap, illiquid companies, it is done on the premise of expecting a return of 20-25% CAGR.Sameeksha Capital PMS aims absolute returns and that means, if there is no investible company, it holds cash. And, it also means, that in the exceptional scenarios, where valuations look stretched, it books profits and aims to increase cash.  Keeping this in mind, Sameeksha avoids keeping too ill-liquid a portfolio.

He directs all of his investments (which is more than 15% of the total AUM) in Indian equities through Sameeksha’s investment products and has no side pockets for investing in Indian equities reflecting significant alignment of interest b/w investors and fund managers. We’re sector agnostic bottom-up investors who follow rule based, process driven (140+ checklist), research heavy and technology backed approach. We invest in companies across market capitalization, have sustainable competitive advantage, are run by competent management and pass our stringent corporate governance checklist, among other things. We take active cash calls in market extremities since we’re flexible to increase cash position. This also coincides with our portfolio approach since we do not follow the model portfolio approach and have a buy-sell framework. This means that if new money comes in, we don’t just copy our current portfolio, we only enter if we’re comfortable at a particular price point. This in turn allows customization for each client portfolio.
