Long Only Equity
Source: Internal.
• Long Equity (Ex of Arbitrage) is maintained between 35% & 40% for majority of the time.
• The fund is enabled to take this exposure to 55% primarily in event of a crash when broad
Equity Indices are trading below historical averages.
• This incremental exposure is expected to be trimmed down to usual range of 35% - 40% as
the markets recover.

7. 7
Equity Hedging
Source: Internal.
• Out of the money put options are used, based on a systematic strategy, to hedge the long equity.
• The degree of hedging is primarily determined by how expensive markets are (hedge more
if markets are expensive, less when they are not, no hedging if markets are cheap and risk
return equation is favorable).
• Hedges:
• Enable to have constant long equity exposure of 35% to 40%.
• Potential to reduce large falls in NAV in case of a sharp fall in markets.

options (hedging ratio) is dependent on market valuations and momentum.

When will Hedges be Ineffective?
1. When portfolio significantly underperforms the Index
• The hedges will protect only to the extent the Index falls. If the portfolio crashes while
Index is stable the hedges would be ineffective.
2. If there is slow and steady fall in Index
• If for example the index falls about 3% every month the puts might not provide much
protection because every month we roll over to a lower strike. The PUTs usually help in
case of sharp crashes to the extent of the hedged portfolio.
3. The Hedges can drag returns in up-trending markets
• The cost of hedges for 12 months ending July-2023 was 1.1%. Typically, in absence of
crashes we expected this cost to be close to 0.75% on average. The hedges can make up
for this drag in sharp crashes.

Equity: Entry Process
Can the business be held for 10 years?
• It means at this point there is no reason to believe we might have to
sell before 10 years
• Does not mean we will necessarily continue holding for 10 years
Are the embedded valuations conservative?
• Is the stock available at a price where we can make “Inflation + ~10%”
even on conservative expectations of future growth & profitability
Yes
Yes
Is the downside low?
• In case of adverse business developments, is the downside limited?
• We are looking at loss in the intrinsic value of the business instead of
quoted value which could be volatile
Long Term Orientation,
Typically No Allocation to
Cyclicals
Value Bias
Value = Intrinsic Value -
Price
Absolute Return Approach
BUY
Since quality
companies are easier
to value due to
durability of their
business, predictability
of cash flows, and
lower tail risks they
usually form a large
part of the portfolio.
But the portfolio
generally has a Value
bias and may not have
Quality/Growth or
Momentum bias.
Entry will typically not
be from 30% of the
most expensive stocks
in the market (based
on our internal
quantitative
parameters)
Yes

Equity: Exit Process
Source: Internal
Is a better risk return available elsewhere?
• The best reason to sell
Price factoring in overly aggressive assumptions?
• Is the stock expected to deliver < “Inflation + approx10%”
based on even aggressive assumptions of future growth
and profitability
Or
Was the Thesis Wrong?
• Has new information or business developments materially
changed the initial hypothesis
Or
More tolerant of over-valuation in exit decisions (to compensate for value bias in entry)
