Investment Strategy

Bellwether Long Term Growth Strategy follows a fundamentals-driven, long-term investment philosophy, focusing on high-quality, scalable businesses with strong financials and growth potential. The fund employs a bottom-up, sector-agnostic approach, constructing a concentrated, multi-cap portfolio with a minimum investment horizon of three years to unlock value.

Core Investment Approach

Bottom-Up Stock Selection:

  • Investments based on intrinsic value, independent of market trends.
  • Preference for sector leaders with high return on capital employed (ROCE) and scalable operations.

Long-Term, Low-Turnover Strategy:

  • Holding period of at least three years for each investment.
  • Portfolio churn is typically 10-15% per year, ensuring cost efficiency and tax optimization.

High-Conviction, Multi-Cap Portfolio:

  • 10-15 stock portfolio, ensuring focused yet diversified exposure.
  • Large caps: Provide stability and consistent returns.
  • Mid & small caps: Offer higher alpha and long-term growth.

Strict Investment Criteria:

  • Significant discount to intrinsic value for margin of safety.
  • Top 2-3 players in an industry, ensuring competitive advantage.
  • Cost-efficient businesses with consistent earnings growth.

Disciplined Risk Management:

  • Avoids highly leveraged companies and operator-driven stocks.
  • Focuses on strong balance sheets and prudent capital allocation.
