Fund Management Philosophy

We believe that each of our managers should be given freedom and independence to manage his/her funds

“Patience, embracing volatility and owning capital efficient businesses run by capable managers for long periods of time is my source of wealth creation.”

- Vinit Sambre, CIO

“India is at the cusp of a structural turnaround and continues to remain one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world. The country has proven to be resilient to global economic downturns, largely due to its robust domestic economy, which is expected to remain strong in the foreseeable future. We believe India should be viewed as a structural allocation (and not just tactical) in investors’ portfolios globally.”

- Jay Kothari, Lead Investment Strategist & Head - International Business.
