Investment Philosophy

“A disciplined approach to investing, with focus on quality up to a reasonable price, has helped us deliver a satisfactory track record. The focus is more on stock selection, through a bottom-up approach in growth companies, available at a reasonable valuation.” views Neelesh Surana.

According to Surana, there is no clear choice between growth or value stocks, instead, growth should be viewed as a subset of value.

His views on recent corrections

Bullish on India’s growth story, fuelled by demand revival and positive earnings growth with strong business consolidation, Surana views the corrections as an opportunity to buy with a long term perspective.
