Evaluation of Risk/Return scenarios INVESTMENT COMMITTEE REVIEW
Investment Philosophy
We believe that scale is not a driver but an outcome of excellence in our work. Our thematic investment styles are designed around niche investment opportunities that exist in the Indian capital markets. Usually such specialties offer limited scope for scale-up in terms of the capital we can deploy effectively. The focus is always upon discovering and taking advantage of an insight that can provide the edge, and then adding layers of research and due diligence to construct a portfolio. The common foundation of knowledge, work culture and networks underpin all our investment strategies, providing us the benefit of scale. Unifi is essentially a value investor in growth businesses. We place Value first but always also demand growth potential in a business we own. We believe that stock performance, particularly in mid and small firms, needs a catalyst; and often the best catalyst is an attractive price combined with growth. Unifi believes that both micro (firm level) and macro risks are critical in determining outcomes. We carefully evaluate the fundamentals of each business that we own, and in addition ask ourselves if the prevailing and expected conditions in the economy will act for or against our
Defining what Value, Risk and Consistency in returns mean to us. Value investing is easy to understand but hard to practice. Our job is to buy something for less than it is at least worth and generally hold on (for years) till we can sell at a price above its fair value. Risk is typically measured by the volatility of returns generated by an asset. While this makes great sense, we include another dimension to it, and believe that the greatest risk emanates from the probability of an asset’s permanent diminution of value i.e. loss of invested capital. While earning superior returns relative to benchmark is important, it is far more important to earn superior return on each unit of risk that we are exposed. Consistency of returns relative to our initial objective (in certain strategies we allow ourselves considerable latitude to deviate in order to
performance. Our People. The bedrock of our firm’s ethos is best represented by our commitment to Accountability and Continuity, both internal and
zero tolerance for poor integrity or quality. Adhere to the clients’ mandate. Typically, our clients are smart and successful individuals. The most important investment decision is the one made by our client (with our RM’s careful advice) at the outset in choosing the asset class and the risk level. As his investment manager Unifi is committed to stick diligently to the client’s mandate and deliver the best possible outcome while remaining vigilant on the underlying risks.

Fund Structure
Event Arbitrage Fund
Objec ectiv tive The fund seeks to generate stable absolute returns that are consistently superior to conventional fixed income instruments by identification and quick execution of low risk – moderate gain event arbitrage opportunities arising in the equity markets from time to time. Additionally, nominal and high yield debt would be considered to ensure optimum utilisation of funds and enhance returns with uncompromising emphasis on capital preservation. Strat rategy egy The core investment strategy is to exploit corporate event arbitrage opportunities in the listed capital markets that inherently have limited correlation to economic cycles and market volatility. These opportunities are driven by corporate events like mergers, acquisitions, delisting and buyback of shares through a “tender offer”. The risk- return pay-off in most of such deals is deal-specific and hence has limited correlation to market cycles. Typically, the price at which the buyer makes an offer for purchase is higher than the prevailing market price so as to induce shareholders to offer their
post-event price, occurring largely due to asymmetric information distribution, difference in investment objectives and expectation amongst investors. Nom Nominal nal and and High gh Yi Yiel eld Deb Debt: It is quite possible that there may not sufficient Event Arbitrage opportunities at a given point of time. Hence, we do invest in debt / fixed income papers either short term or with high liquidity instead of parking money in low yielding liquid mutual funds. The focus is
Port rtfol folio Struct cture re Investments are balanced among the opportunities that are selected. Typically, exposure to any event will usually be not less than 2.5% and not more than 25% of a portfolio. Also, exposure to an event is restricted to 10% of its potential opportunity/offer size.

UNIFI High Yield Fund

Objec ectiv tive Unifi High Yield Fund (HYF) is a discretionary fund focusing on event oriented arbitrage and structured investment opportunities across multiple asset classes with an objective to generate absolute returns of 15% p.a with a standard deviation of 12% or less. The endeavour is to consistently generate superior compounded annual returns than conventional fixed income instruments with uncompromising emphasis on capital preservation. Strat rategy egy Unifi HYF’s core investment strategy is to exploit corporate event arbitrage opportunities in the listed capital markets that inherently have limited correlation to economic cycles and market volatility. Typically, arbitrage opportunities emerge in such cases due to the perceived discount in the pre- event market price in relation to the open offer / post-event price, occurring largely due to asymmetric information distribution, difference in investment objectives and expectation amongst investors. In the debt segment, the focus is on high yield fixed income opportunities with accrual mind set and tax efficiency. Even ent Arb rbitr trage age opport

Sector r Trend- Large Cap ap Fund
Objec ectiv tive A historical analysis of market performance suggests that the broader indices at any given point in time are driven by a few sectors; each a function
returns over the benchmark indices. The underlying driver of this style is to align with sectors and companies that are in the favourable end of the business cycle and underweighting sectors facing industry head winds. The portfolio will largely (>85%) consist of companies within the blue chip universe of BSE200 while the fund management strategy is aligned with identifying and participating in growth as defined by (a) visibility of medium to long term earnings, (b) strong balance sheet metrics, (c) competitive MOAT and, (d) how the risk/reward is positioned at existing
15% of the portfolio) that is backed by in-house fundamental conviction. Strat rategy egy The investment strategy will be to manage differential sector exposure levels to constituents of BSE 200, relative to the Sensex. Alpha will be generated by maintaining an overweight stance on sectors expected to lead the market and by going under weight/ avoiding sectors that are expected to lag the market. The benchmark for performance evaluation is BSE 30 and universe for investment in BSE 200. Port rtfol folio Struct cture re 60-70% of the portfolio will be invested in Top-3 sectors of BSE- 30 and the remaining will be invested in bottom up ideas from BSE 200; all sectors participating in India’s growth are represented in BSE 200. The average market cap of companies in BSE 200 is US$4.7 bn. and the median market cap is US$2 bn. BSE 200 companies consist of front line leaders in their respective industries and are companies that have the best operating levers, financial metrics and governance norms to perform. Among the BSE 200, BSE 30 stocks (Sensex) will likely have a majority of the exposure.

Deep V alue @ Discount t Fund
Objec ectiv tive The Fund seeks to achieve above-average returns with below-average risk. The market’s current focus is on short-term issues, rather than on a long- term structural shift. Today’s valuations allow for exceptional returns along with substantial downside protection. The Fund aims to double investors’ capital in 36 months or less. Philos
will contribute to investment returns.
Strat rategy egy The fund as the name suggests concentrates on identifying Deep Value buys (within a market cap range of Rs 2000- 10000 million) that arise out of situations such as: pockets of cyclical pessimism towards the industry or the company, valuation mismatch that arise from de-mergers of disparate divisions into companies, compulsions of large institutional investors causing value buying opportunities. While we track the performance of our firms actively, the fund will hold a very passive, concentrated portfolio of 8-10 stocks with virtually no trading. Port rtfol folio
cture re The Fund will operate on the PMS platform where the investor’s assets will remain either in cash with a bank/liquid fund (pending deployment), or in the form of stock with CDSL. In either case, the assets will be under the investor’s name. The fund would remain open ended, but the expected time frame to realize the full value of the investment is about 36 months. Capital would be returned to the investor either when the portfolio doubles

Holdco Fund
Objec ectiv tive e The objective of the fund is to seek to unlock value by investing in listed holding companies across a wide array of industries. Holding companies in the fund’s universe are defined as those entities which hold stakes in other listed entities, and trade at a significant discount to the NAV of the underlying assets. Backgr kgrou
The main reasons for discounts are :
Regulatory changes, like the Companies Act 2013 have enabled certain shareholder rights and brought sweeping changes in how companies approach “Related Party Transactions”. The renewed thrust of SEBI in ensuring higher level of corporate governance would motivate promoters to consider delisting their holding companies. Strat rategy egy To invest in holding companies which are sub-scale and run as group holding companies rather than strategic investment companies. Companies that have stakes in strong operating business but are typically run by, for and of the promoter are the most likely ones to feel the heat of change in regulatory landscape. Port rtfol folio
cture re The Fund will operate on the PMS platform where the investor’s assets will remain either in cash with a bank/liquid fund (pending deployment), or if deployed, in the form of stock with CDSL. In either case, the assets will be under the investor’s name. While the tracking and monitoring of the investments will be active, the activity at account level will be passive, resulting in lower transaction costs and better post-tax return. The fund would remain open ended, but the expected time frame to realize the full value of the investment is about 60 months. Capital would be returned to the investor either when the portfolio doubles or at the completion of 60 months, whichever is earlier.

Spin-off f Fund
Objec ectiv tive e The fund seeks to generate superior risk adjusted returns relative to market indices by investing in stocks of companies undergoing Spin-offs. Typically, such an action by the company will help remove the holding company discount that the market attributes and thereby enhance the stock’s
and investing in such companies after a detailed review of their fundamentals. Strat rategy egy and Invest stment ment Univers erse Our universe is built from the Spin-offs approved by Boards of respective companies as filed with the stock exchanges. At any point in time, our portfolio may include 20% of companies that may not have publicly announced a demerger but we believe, through our primary research, are close to doing so. From the universe of such companies, we would select ideas to invest based on a bottom up approach that we have been practicing over the last fourteen years. Port rtfol folio
cture re The Fund will operate on the PMS platform where the investor’s assets will remain either in cash with a bank/liquid fund (pending deployment), or if deployed, in the form of stock with CDSL. In either case, the assets will be under the investor’s name. The fund would remain open ended, but it would be advisable to keep an investment perspective of 36 months to provide enough time for the market to price the impact of Spin-offs. The fund would build a portfolio of about 10 companies, where the exposure to any chosen sector will usually not exceed 30%. While the tracking and monitoring of the investments will be active, the activity at the account level will be passive, resulting in lower transaction costs and better post-tax return.

Objec ectiv tive e The Fund seeks to achieve absolute returns with below-average risk over a horizon of 4-5 years. The fund would invest in sectors that will benefit from the next stage of India’s growth on the back of improvement in India’s economic and policy climate. The Fund endeavours to grow investors’ capital by 3x in 5 years time or less. Invest estmen ent t Strategy ategy We believe that select participants in the following industries (a) agriculture, (b) speciality chemicals, (c) mining, (d) hi tech manufacturing and (e) infrastructure will see a new wave of growth over the next 5 years and will be a direct beneficiary of India’s macro policy initiatives as well as inherent demographic strengths it has built over a period of time. Over the years, each of the target sectors has built a niche set competencies that have bordered on being disruptive. This has translated to them enjoying a quasi-oligopolistic status in their industry. However, these developments in absolute terms are at a small number. The evolution of the end user industry is such that, this base is poised to experience high growth and operating advantage over the next few years. In other words, each of these firms, have a high inbuilt option to participate in a disproportionate pay off. Our endeavour is to participate with concentrated positions across sectors that will be a direct or proxy beneficiary of the growth in the specified industries. While our study of the opportunities reveals the underlying and obvious risks that could play out in future, we believe the risk reward equation is favourable to an equity investor at current valuations considering the next 5 years’ potential growth. Univer erse se The Fund’s investment universe is the set of all listed companies whose market capitalization ranges from Rs. 200 cr. and above. The Fund’s primary source of investment ideas will come from firms within industries that are a proxy to the following industries: (a) agriculture, (b) speciality chemicals, (c) mining, (d) hi tech manufacturing and (e) infrastructure. The investee companies would necessarily be one that has built a niche for itself over the years and is set to leverage on the same to deliver a pace of return that is disproportionate on the upside, in the coming years. Port rtfol folio
cture re The Fund will operate on the PMS platform where the investor’s assets will remain either in cash with HDFC Bank/liquid fund (pending deployment), or in the form of stock with CDSL. In either case, the assets will be under the investor’s name. The Fund will hold a concentrated portfolio of about 12-20 stocks, across various sectors. There is likely to be low turnover in the Fund. While the Fund will be open-ended, the expected time horizon for an investment in the Fund is 60 months. There will be no benchmarking over the life of the Fund.

The Green Fund
Objec ectiv tive e The idea of a vibrant Green economy, brought about by the looming threat of climate change, has been identified as a key theme that we currently believe will transform industries and create enormous opportunities for investors. Green investments refer broadly to companies that operate primarily in the renewable energy, clean technology and environmental technology
efficiency of natural resource use. Invest estmen ent t Strategy ategy The Fund will focus on investing in companies which would provide the support infrastructure for a “Green Economy” This would include manufacturers/producers of renewable energy systems , organic chemicals, emission control products, energy efficiency products, water & waste management solutions. As this is an evolving theme newer business models are expected to develop during the course of time. Unifi’s key strength has been its ability to identify the next generation of winners from the small and midcap space. In continuation of this strategy Unifi would primarily focus in the small and midcap space to identify companies which fit into the Green theme.. Univer erse se The Universe of Companies would be broadly selected from the following sectors:
These sectors are only indicative of our current thinking and it is entirely possible that as our research progresses we might look at companies beyond these sectors. But in all cases the Green theme would be the underlying basis for selection. Port rtfol folio

effort in migrating between best opportunities at any diverse point of time. Value creation requires a mental model which goes beyond the obvious. It requires a meticulous mindset which is able to sift through reams of information and assimilate only that which is relevant in identifying value accretive opportunities. Metaphorically this could be compared to searching the proverbial needle in a haystack. This fund investment strategy will be to pick the best opportunities from the following themes. Spin Off: In a single corporate structure with multiple businesses, the sum of the value of the separate parts is often less than that of the whole. A de-merger of disparate businesses, unlocks the financial and management bandwidth required for the respective businesses to grow. Spin off fund invests in situations that offer great scope for the businesses to realize their full growth potential and attract commensurate market valuation. DVD: Few segments of the market tend to be mispriced in spite of visible growth prospects, resulting in such stocks trading at a deep discount to their intrinsic value. Reasons could vary from inadequate understanding of a business by most analysts, low relative market cap and liquidity or the lack of correlation to benchmark indices. DVD invests in such businesses and exploits market inefficiencies. HoldCo Co: Many holding companies are run as group holding companies rather than strategic investment companies. This results in a perennial discount in their valuations but such discounts are not a constant. The Holdco fund identifies strong underlying businesses and looks for massive valuation discounts that are likely to recover as promoters feel the heat of change in the regulatory landscape; meantime benefiting from value convergence in a rising market.
Fund Structure
APJ PJ 20 20: As always, markets fancy few sectors that have done well in the past ignoring the rest. Of the sectors which are less understood, few like specialist chemicals, agri, precision manufacturing have become globally competitive and are privy to an expanding market opportunity. APJ20 invests in firms that have evolved and are in a ripe position to benefit from such growth prospects. Gree een Fund: The investment focus of the green fund is on companies which provide products and services that help in reducing the carbon footprint in the environment and/or result in more efficient use of natural resources. Within the context of this strategy, the sectors that have been identified for creating the portfolio are - emission control, energy efficiency, water management and waste management. Insider er Shadow
The Insider Shadow Fund invests in companies which have repurchased their own shares or where its promoters’ have acquired additional shares at market prices. Such an action demonstrates their conviction on company’s growth prospects or inherent value not captured in stock price at that
Univer erse se The fund’s investment universe would include the diverse investment opportunities within the following mentioned funds at any specific point of time: SPIN OFF, DVD, HOLDCO, APJ20, Green fund and the Insider Shadow Fund. The fund’s investments will be majorly concentrated in small and midcap space wherein it is difficult for “institutional” type of capital to invest and where Unifi’s relatively smaller size helps us to focus in niche areas of the market.

Inside der r Shadow Fund
Objec ectiv tive Generate superior risk adjusted returns, in relation to the broad market, by investing in fundamentally sound companies where the promoters’ have acquired additional shares at market prices or companies that have repurchased their own shares. Typically, such an action by a company or a controlling shareholder demonstrates their conviction that the company’s growth prospects or inherent value has not been captured in its stock price at that point. Strat rategy egy The strategy is to create and update (on a daily basis), a universe of companies where the promoter is increasing his stake at market prices either through creeping acquisitions or buyback route, where complete disclosures of stock purchases have been made to the exchanges, and that seem to be motivated either by an undervalued stock price or an impending improvement in business prospects that are still to be reflected in the market price. From this universe the fund cherry picks for investment, firms using a bottom-up fundamental evaluation validated by the fund manager having a positive view of the sector in which the firm operates. An emphasis is placed on companies whose promoters have increased their stake in the recent past & where the current market price is trading at a discount or at an acceptable premium to the price at which the promoter increased his stake. The extent of financial outlay by the promoter or company has to be meaningful in relation to the size of the firm. Port rtfol folio Struct cture re The fund intends to keep investments balanced among companies, but may significantly vary exposure to companies as situations evolve. Typically, the fund will hold about 20 positions ranging from 2.5% to 10% of the portfolio, with a median of 5%.

Delistin ting g Fund*
Objec ectiv tive Several multinational companies which listed their Indian subsidiaries during the 1970s to comply with the then GOI rules have been seeking to delist. The SEBI (Delisting of Equity Shares Regulation of 2009) brought in much greater clarity in the delisting process and effectively shifted the balance of power in favour of minority shareholders. The Delisting Fund sought to achieve attractive absolute rate of return by investing in companies that have a high likelihood of delisting. The amendments made by SEBI to SCCR, 1957, Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2010, effective from 04.06.2010 and Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Second Amendment) Rules, 2010, effective from 09.08.2010, with respect to increasing the level of public shareholding in Listed Companies to at least twenty five percent and any listed company which has public shareholding below twenty five percent, shall increase it to at least twenty five percent within a period of three years catalysed this opportunity. The price discovered in the delisting process invariably offered a substantial premium over the then prevailing market price. Strat rategy egy The fund built a portfolio of 10-12 companies from an universe of about 40, that have a high probability of delisting, without compromising on the fundamentals and valuations. We ran several filters that examined their technology/product and market position versus the sector, financial strength, return ratios, management’s track record and valuations. Port rtfol folio Struct cture re The fund invested into a diversified portfolio of 5-10 companies. Not more than 40% was invested in one sector and single stock investment was capped at 20% of the portfolio. Market capitalization of 100Cr was considered as a minimum threshold limit for stock selection. Most, if not all of the exits, were through the market to derive maximum tax advantage. Use of derivatives was provisioned to hedge the portfolio without exposing the fund to any leverage.
* The fund was conceptualized and launched in 2009 as a 18-24 month closed ended structure. Partial redemption was made at the end of 12 months and 100% proceeds were returned to investors in March 2011.Fund Structure
