    • We do not chase momentum or hot stocks.

    • We do not indulge in derivatives or IPOs.

    • We avoid leverage.

    Multibagger Approach

    • Value: The valuation must be reasonable with a definite potential of re-rating soon.

    • Contrarian: We do things differently, which is a must to identify Multibaggers.

    • Growth: The company must have above average growth potential for the next 3-5 years.

    Qualitative Analysis

    • Screeners: To analyze fundamental financial metrics

    • Research: We do our own primary research.
