7. Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. - Warren Buffett
HOW EQUITY MARKETS POSE TO BE THE BEST INVESTMENT OPTION
WHY EQUITY INVESTMENTS OVER OTHERS
Best Performing Asset Class:
Investments in equity markets have
outperformed all other asset classes
with a major leap over a longer period.
Liquid Asset:
Equity market investments are the
easiest and fastest to liquidate
Tax Free Returns:
The long-term returns from investing in
equity markets are exempt from tax.
Least Transactional Cost:
Buying and Selling in equity markets and
holding cost of equities are the most
inexpensive.
In comparison to investing in Real
Estate and Gold, investing in
Equity markets is an extremely
skilful job.
This is the reason for it being the
least popular and the most
rewarding.

8. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS COMPOUNDING?
o The compounding effect by a marginal change in the degree of return can make massive differences to realized returns.
o Rs.100 invested for 10 years multiplies to 2.6 times @ 10% pa, 3.7 times @ 14% , 11 times @ 27% and 34.5 times @ 42.5%

PERSPECTIVE
WHAT WE DO & HOW WE DO IT
The SEERS strategy of investing is based on an approach which is a close harmony of a ‘Top – Down’ and
‘Bottom – Up’ approach of evaluating business opportunities. We invest in businesses that we are of an
opinion have a strong spine to withstand strong headwinds and thus are positioned to benefit the most in
favorable business conditions.
“S” – Seeing the dawn of an opportunity
• To keep a close track of macro developments to recognize investment opportunities.
• With a ‘Domestic’ as well as ‘Global’ perspective.
• These are backed with deep understanding of sector specific – long term cyclical movements.
“E” – Evaluating the opportunity
• This is a rigorous culling process which involves various parameters that ‘Seers’ have developed over the years.
• These parameters tested on a 10 years of data in most of the cases.
• In-depth ‘Quantitative’ as well as ‘Qualitative’ analysis.
• We focus all our energies in finding businesses that are managed with utmost integrity towards all of its
stakeholders.
“E” – Exposure
• Our investment view is long-term thus we believe a 3-5-year perspective is the best to show true value of an
investment.
“R” – Revaluating
• Investing in equity markets needs high degree of patience.
• To be at the forefront of ‘Value Investing’ we are required to continuously evaluate all developments which have
multi-facet effect on the business.
• This is done on the basis of our investment matrix to adapt and respond to the dynamism of businesses.
“S” – Seeing off an investment
• We try to be extremely selective in our investments and only liquidate them when they breach our valuation or
quality parameters
