This document provides a portfolio update for the DSP Quant Fund from June 2019 to September 2019. It summarizes the fund's performance over this period, highlighting that the quant model generated an alpha of 6.1% compared to the S&P BSE 200 index. The document also analyzes the performance of different stock elimination criteria and factors used by the quant model, demonstrating the importance of the stock elimination stage and benefits of a multi-factor approach. Finally, it provides details on the fund's sector exposures, top holdings, and portfolio changes during the September 2019 rebalancing period.
This document describes the investment process of the DSP Quant Fund. It involves a 3 stage process:
1) Eliminating stocks that may destroy value based on factors like high debt, volatility, or poor earnings quality.
2) Selecting the highest quality companies based on factors like growth, value, and quality by ranking them on metrics in each factor.
3) Optimizing the portfolio weights using constraints to manage risk while maximizing factor exposure.
The process aims to select good companies at good prices using a rules-based quantitative model and combining multiple factors with low correlations to reduce risk and provide diversification.
The document provides an introduction to the DSP Quant Fund, a rules-based equity fund that follows a quantitative investment strategy. It describes the fund's process of eliminating value-destroying stocks, selecting good companies based on quality, growth, and value factors, and assigning weights to create the portfolio. The strategy seeks to generate alpha through a systematic, data-driven approach with lower expenses and portfolio turnover compared to other funds. Back-tested performance data from 2005 to 2019 shows the quant model outperformed the benchmark index across various periods on a risk-adjusted basis. The document addresses some potential concerns around model-based strategies and quant investing. It also introduces the quantitative research team that developed the fund's investment model.
The document provides an overview of the DSP Equity Savings Fund, an open-ended hybrid scheme that invests in equity, arbitrage, and debt instruments. The fund seeks to provide capital appreciation with lower volatility by maintaining equity exposure between 20-40% while hedging risk through options strategies. It aims to target lower drawdowns, limit risk of permanent capital loss, take a countercyclical approach, focus on absolute returns, and maintain a multi-asset portfolio to generate returns higher than benchmarks or inflation over the long run.
The fund has outperformed its benchmark over the past 6 months and since inception. A quality factor approach has underperformed recently due to high growth stocks benefiting from easy access to capital. Inflation is a concern as accommodative policies end. The fund is well positioned, with its multi-factor approach of quality, growth and value performing well in both "overheating" and "stagflationary" periods according to an analysis of factor performance during different macroeconomic conditions. Quality has outperformed in stagflationary periods while value has done well in overheating periods.
The document describes the DSP Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund, which dynamically manages allocation between equity and debt based on an assessment of equity market attractiveness. The fund uses a two-factor model incorporating fundamental and technical signals to determine a core equity allocation ranging from 20-90%, with the remainder allocated to arbitrage and debt. Back-tested performance shows the model achieved higher returns per unit of risk compared to the Nifty 50 TRI over various time periods while also reducing volatility. The document outlines the investment process and efficacy of the model in participating in bull markets while limiting downside in bear markets.
This document provides an overview of the DSP Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund. The fund dynamically manages allocation between equity and debt based on attractiveness of equity markets.
The fund determines a core equity allocation by assessing market valuations using the price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios of the Nifty 50 index. Technical signals are then used to add 10% more allocation to participate in bull markets.
The asset allocation model uses a combination of fundamental factors like market valuations and technical indicators to systematically determine equity exposure on a daily basis. This aims to reduce volatility for investors while allowing participation in equity uptrends.
The document provides an overview of the DSP Value Fund including its investment philosophy, performance, portfolio characteristics, and current portfolio details. Some key points:
- The fund aims to generate steady long-term returns with lower volatility than the benchmark through a conservative approach focusing on quality companies at reasonable valuations.
- Over longer time periods the fund has outperformed several benchmarks with lower volatility and drawdowns.
- The current portfolio emphasizes sectors like IT, materials, industrials, and healthcare that are seen as reasonably valued. It underweights sectors like consumer goods and financials seen as overvalued.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
