Centrum Multibagger (Deep Value I)- Investment Strategy

Focus on deep value across sectors and segments

Centrum Multibagger (Deep Value I) looks for deep value across sectors and segments; on the verge of a turnaround due to various factors.

Investment Philosophy

Centrum PMS is driven by their proprietary framework developed over time — ‘EDGE’ Framework. The AMC uses the EDGE framework to identify leaders.

EDGE Framework

  • Earnings Growth (E): driven by criteria such as minimum ~15% EBITDA growth and ~15% ROCE | High cash to EBITDA ratio (65% and above) | Low leverage (<2x)
  • Deep Dive Research (D): driven by factors like size of the opportunity, competitive advantage, scalability and channel checks
  • Governance (G): evaluated based on accounting quality, past capital allocation, past related party transactions and dividend policy
  • Execution (E): past track record and promise vs delivery historically

The above-mentioned EDGE framework is used to identify leaders.

Leadership traits are defined as

  • Market Share
  • Promoter/Management Pedigree
  • Operating Margins and Return Ratios
  • Brand/Distribution Strength
  • Business Growth and Pricing Power
  • R&D and Technology Differentiators

Portfolio Construction Strategy

Centrum strategies classify and take positions in companies labelled as ‘Quality’, ‘Value’, and ‘Growth’.

  • Quality: Companies with a strong leadership positions, known for their proven track record
  • Value: counter cyclical, contrarian, special situation opportunities
  • Growth: emerging but lesser-known companies with high growth potential and leadership traits

The AMC believes that this reduces risk and ensure participation during various phases of market cycles.

AMC

AMC: Centrum PMS (click link for detailed AMC review)

AMC in the midst of transition: While Centrum has done well historically in it's mid & small-cap strategies, this has been under a different investment team - Abhishek Anand was a continuing fund manager, under 2 different CIOs (Kunj Bansal & Anil Sarin). In 2023-24, both Abhishek & Sarin quit, and have been replaced by Manish Jain (CIO) & Atul Fateh (FM). While Manish & Atul do come with past fund management experience, it is not very clear how much the investment strategies, philosophies & proceess will change under the new investment team. Until the new Centrum team does not stabalise (we would wait until 2025), we do not actively recommended Centrum strategies - which explains it's lower 2-star rating.
