Aequitas is the Latin goddess of Equity and

  • Fairness. She is most often depicted holding a pair of

scales to represent Fair Dealings and Equality. She is shown in a dignified pose, wearing a diadem and holding a sceptre or staff, and sometimes She is also given a cornucopia, the symbol of abundance and wealth. She represents true fairness, a

different concept from justice for justice is under the law, and must follow it to the letter. Some have seen in her a Goddess of honest merchants and fair dealings in contracts, negotiations, and other merchant-

related endeavours: by this definition the cornucopia is seen as a symbol of the wealth to be gained through fair enterprise.

Aequitas

Ae Aequi quitas tas

The word “Equity” originates from the Latin word Aequitas

What Aequitas does differently!!!

We don’t work with Distributors. Never have, never will ! We don’t watch CNBC. It is Cartoon Network for the Business Community! We don’t use Bloomberg. It’s an avoidable distraction! We have only one product. Only one yardstick to measure our performance! No marketing person. Our product should be good enough to sell by itself! Bespoke portfolios, no model portfolio. Models look good only on the ramp!

RISK

  • Risk is not a number, it is a concept or a notion. Risk equates to what

Ben Graham called a “permanent loss of capital”.

  • Modern finance measures risk on metrics like standard deviation,

BETA, VAR etc. which we do not subscribe to.

  • We measure risk on 3 parameters

Investment Philosophy

Aequitas Investment

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Multibagger Approach

Aequitas Investment

GROWTH CONTRARIAN VALUE

The company has to be a growth company with above Average growth potential for The next 3-5 years . Markets reward a higher PE multiple for growth companies Contrarian approach does not mean doing the opposite

  • f others, it means doing

things differently. Buying in popular names will not give Multi-bagger returns The valuation has to be

  • reasonable. This is important

because there has to be potential for re-rating. A combination of EPS growth and PE re-rating leads to Multi-bagger returns

Doing things differently Above average growth Cheap valuation ensures potential re-rating

Portfolio Construction

  • We invest in quality companies with a focus on small and mid-cap growth

companies

  • Most market participants focus on price; we focus on company fundamentals
  • We aim to construct a portfolio of 15-20 stocks across various sectors
  • Invest with a 3-5 year horizon with a focus on low churn rate
  • Value can remain value for long time. We actively look for catalysts which will

lead to stock rerating.
