BE A CONTRARIAN

Alpha Invesco's mission is to deliver superior investment results with risk under control & to conduct our business with the utmost integrity.

"Don't Be Scared Of Temporary Underperformance If You Have To Outperform Over The Long Term."

Uncertainty Vs Risk - Biggest opportunities come during the times of uncertainty. Entire street is focused on next 4 to 12 quarters. We have a time horizon bigger than that, which leads to an edge & we can embrace uncertainty for a much bigger gain. We look for a business where underlying economics is improving & things are looking up with certain symptoms of change. We prefer pockets where valuations reflect the point of maximum pessimism, either due to near term uncertainties, balance sheet concerns, external factors or other concerns which prove to be immaterial over a period of time.

We like stocks where there is large undervaluation and the business already has a substantial revenue base along with leadership position in their respective segment. It pays to buy such companies when they are facing temporary problems & are available cheap.

THE POWER OF LONG RANGE THINKING

These companies can improve profitability by correcting their cost structures & leveraging existing capabilities. Such businesses, if operating in potentially large profit pool sectors, can have sustainable & predictable profit growth over a period of time.

Investment Approach

Independent & Long Range Thinking

In today's scenario, everybody has the same information. There is no information edge & how you evaluate a business is more important than anything else. In our view, the ability to have independent opinion & to be a contrarian is very critical to outperform over a period of time.

Emphasis On Consistency

We believe in consistency & having a higher batting average over a period of time, than having spurts of super normal profits or abysmal losses.

Risk Control & Avoiding Large Drawdowns

Our highest priority remains to protect capital, avoid permanent losses & large drawdowns. Market cycles give us enough opportunities. And if we just avoid the losers, the winners will take care of themselves & perhaps the portfolio performance.

Ear To The Ground

Our research is not just about numbers. We also focus on socio economic relevance of our investee companies, latest developments on the ground, talking to dealers-distributors-ex employees-competitors, management meets to have a better handle.

Staying Away From Macro Forecasts

We believe consistently excellent performance can only be achieved through superior knowledge of companies and their securities, not through attempts at predicting what is in store for the economy, interest rates or the securities markets. Therefore, our investment process is entirely bottom-up, based upon proprietary, company-specific research. We use overall portfolio structuring as a defensive tool to help us avoid dangerous concentration.
