We follow the Value investing strategy that involves buying companies at discounts to their
long-term intrinsic value
We focus on the long term potential of the business
We normalize our assumptions - we do not value the companies on the basis of peak or trough
margins
While valuing the company, we would generally give a 40% discount to its intrinsic value to set
our buy limits
Typical characteristics of the portfolio following Value Investing strategy:
• Low price to earnings ratio
• Low price to book ratio
• Low price to sales multiple
• Low price to cash flow
• High dividend yield
