The Scheme is an open-ended Scheme that aims to provide long term capital growth by investing primarily in a well-diversified portfolio of companies that are selected based on the criteria of Value Investing. Value investing is an investment strategy where stocks are selected that trade for less than their intrinsic values.
The Scheme proposes to carefully accumulate a portfolio of stocks, which are available at a discount to its intrinsic value. The process would be through identification of such stocks, which have attractive valuations in relation to earnings or book value or current and/or future dividends and are available at a price, which can be termed as a bargain. This may constitute stocks, which have depreciated for a short period due to some exceptional circumstance or due to market correction phase or due to lack of interest in investing in a sector, which has significantly underperformed the market. Such stocks are considered to have intrinsic value because of their business models and show potential for smart growth in the future. Intrinsic value of a stock is determined through analyzing the financial statements of the companies and parameters such as EPS (Earnings per Share), the Book Value per share, understanding the competition land-scape and business structure of these companies. The universe of stocks for this Scheme will be defined as those stocks whose prices are low relative to their fundamentals, their historic performance, their book values, their earnings and cash flow potential and current and/or future dividends.

For investment, AMC would use industry specific valuation measures to evaluate companies in every sector in order to select the most attractive companies for the portfolio. The Scheme may also invest a part of its corpus in overseas markets in Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), ADRs, overseas equity, bonds and mutual funds and such other instruments as may be allowed under the Regulations from time to time. The Scheme may engage in Stock Lending activities.
The Scheme may invest in derivatives such as Futures & Options and such other derivative instruments like Stock/ Index Futures, Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements or such other derivative instruments as may be introduced and permitted by SEBI from time to time. The Scheme may invest in derivative for the purpose of hedging, portfolio balancing and other purposes as may be permitted under the Regulations. Hedging using Interest Rate Futures could be perfect or imperfect, subject to applicable regulations.
