  20. Quality frameworks

  21. Q – Quality Quality of Business x Quality of Management 1 X 1 = 1 1 X 0 = 0 0 X 1 = 0

  22. Quality Frameworks Great, Good, Gruesome Only 14% of BSE 500 companies earn RoE higher than Cost of equity

  23. Quality Frameworks (continued) Uncommon Profits … Emergence & Endurance Uncommon Profits in companies = Uncommon Wealth Creation in markets

  27. Growth Frameworks

  28. G – Growth Understanding 2 years Growth is a science but Understanding long-term Growth potential is an art

  29. Growth Frameworks India’s NTD (Next Trillion Dollar GDP) Linear growth … Every successive NTD of GDP takes fewer years

  30. Growth Frameworks (continued) India’s NTD (Next Trillion Dollar GDP) … Exponential opportunityWhen per capita GDP doubles, discretionary spend becomes 10x

  31. Quality Frameworks (continued) Winner Categories, Category Winners • Winner Categories = Consolidated sector + Scalability • Category Winners = Winning Categories + Entry Barriers + Great Management • Great Investments = Category Winners + Reasonable Valuation

  32. Growth Frameworks (continued) 100x Indian benchmark indices rise 100x in 30 years

  33. Growth Frameworks (continued) 100x 47 enduring 100x stocks over 1994-2014 Note: Price multiples are based on stocks being bought at the low price in the respective year of purchase, and held on to Mar-2014.

  36. Longevity Frameworks Longevity of Quality Extend CAP (Competitive Advantage Period), Delay mean reversion Companies enjoy CAP of some years … … but high-quality companies extend it

  37. Longevity Frameworks (continued) Power of Compounding Longer the period, exponentially higher the multiple

  38. Longevity Frameworks (continued) Longevity of Growth Sum multiples for different growth rates over different periods

  39. Price frameworks

  40. P – Price Reasonable Price which is significantly below the intrinsic value leaving good Margin of Safety

  41. Price Frameworks Quality & Valuation Matrix Identify Quality stocks at reasonable valuation and hold on Quality Low High Low Valuation High

  42. Price Frameworks Market Cap to GDP India’s current mkt cap > LPA but below peak of 100% of GDP

  43. Price Frameworks Payback ratio Less than 1x is almost a sureshot formula for multi-bagger Payback ratio = Market Cap Next 5 years PAT

  44. Conclusions • You can swim against the tide (i.e. make money in flat markets) … provided you have the requisite skills. • The requisite skills come from a good investment philosophy, and pig-headed determination of practising it. • A good investment philosophy evolves after years of research, practice, and fine-tuning. • We believe our investment philosophy – QGLP and its continuous improvement – should help us deliver sustained superior performance.
