Investment Selection Techniques

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental Analysis involves a thorough analysis of a company‟s historic and present data to decipher trends that help in forecasting future company performance. Fundamental Analysis is more suited to long-term investing because the market value of an asset might be distorted.

Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis incorporates information, such as past prices and volume, generated from market activity to predict short-term movements in the market.

Market Information

Although Fundamental and Technical Analysis will provide most of the information required, certain situations might arise wherein reality diverts from theoretical expectations. In such instances, incorporating information and sentiments from the market will provide us with much needed guidance to model such market.

Transaction Management Efficiency

Every transaction must be weighted for its costs and benefits; not only for that transaction but with respect to the entire portfolio. Existing cost and tax structures and proposed changes (if any) are taken into consideration before making any decision regarding transactions.

Stock Picking Restrictions

Make sure to avoid picking stocks that are prohibited by regulatory requirements for example of prohibition of cross-holdings in the same industry.

Relative Pricing

Pricing and expectations are compared with those in the industry to gauge market sentiments regarding the company and its “brand value”.

Matching Risk and Return Requirement

Greater the risk, greater should be the required return. Our investment philosophy is to ascertain the level of risk you are comfortable with and provide the maximum return possible for the level of risk.
