FUND FACTSHEET NOVEMBER 2014

Indian Entrepreneur Fund (IEF):

Objective:

Launched in March 2010, Indian Entrepreneur Fund aims to invest in “Entrepreneur run and/or family owned businesses”; listed on the Indian stock markets, for compounding gains over the medium to long term. Indian Entrepreneur Fund aims to invest in high growth (listed) businesses owned and managed by Indian entrepreneurs/families for superior long term wealth creation. IEF will be a portfolio of around 20 high growth, high quality businesses led by entrepreneurs with vision and integrity, execution, capital allocation and distribution skills.

The fund seeks value creating traits in the investments, including, Size of Opportunity, Management Quality, Earnings Growth, Quality of Business and Value.

Research methodology and brief rationale: Our study covered the universe of Top 500 listed companies by market cap and we segregated them into four categories based on their ownership structures - Entrepreneur run/ Family Owned Businesses (FOBs), Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), Multi National Corporations (MNCs) and Pure Professional Firms. Since the widely held professional firms were only a handful in number, the three categories were taken up for intensive analysis and compared against a host of criteria i.e. sales growth, profit growth, operating margins, capital efficiency – RoE & RoCE and wealth creation. In each of the above comparisons, the entrepreneur run/family owned businesses fared exceedingly well. The summary of the findings are as below:

Following are the findings and salient features of the research on Indian Entrepreneur and for Family Owned Companies:

Continued Dominance of Entrepreneur / Family owned firms Entrepreneur/Family Owned Firms comprise ~50% of India’s market cap (in 2003 it was ~38% )

Fastest growing businesses

Superior operating margins

Over 20% OPMs consistently over the last 10 years. Strong capital efficiency

Biggest wealth creators Portfolio Manager’s Commentary:

Markets continue to scale new heights. The month saw markets closing at all time highs, aided by the fall in crude oil prices. The benchmark BSE 500 closed up 3.4% during the month. Indian Entrepreneur Fund continues to record superior performance. During the month stocks like Titan and Divi’s Laboratories underperformed the markets. Titan was impacted due to low consumer sentiments towards gold and also the possibility of government increasing crubs on gold imports. With the fall in crude prices, government on the contrary has eased gold imports and has scrapped 80:20 scheme, which, should benefit Titan. While Divi’s Laboratories underperformed due to relatively muted H2 FY15 guidance by the company. However, we remain positive on the strength of both these businesses and continue to hold on to our positions. We have included (KMB) in the strategy, replacing . Kotak Mahindra is a very strong financial franchise in the country. The service portfolio of Kotak Mahindra Bank includes banking solutions, insurance business, asset management business etc. The bank under the chairmanship of Mr Uday Kotak has performed very strongly under varied business conditions. Asset quality outlook continue to remain sanguine given large exposure to retail lending, high quality exposure within corporate lending and absence of exposure to troubled sectors such as infrastructure financing and airlines. Also worst may be behind for capital market operations. The acquisition of ING Vysya Bank should be very synergistic with KMB. The acquisition give KMB much needed exposure in South India. On the whole, we are very positive on the economy and the businesses that we own. The economic moat that these businesses have created over the last few years should enable them to further improve on their market positioning and thereby deliver superior performance. Overall, the strategy continues to remain biased towards very high quality businesses.
