Investment Philosophy

Unifi Blended – Rangoli Fund cherry-picks the best opportunities from across seven thematic funds that Unifi manages. The strategy looks for opportunities that arise from a blend of emergent themes, corporate actions, and attractiveness of core fundamentals. The portfolio is likely to have around 15-20 holdings in the strategy. The seven themes from which the fund picks their best opportunities are as follows:

  1. Spin-off: Corporate action leading to mispricing in a special situation
  2. Deep Value Discount (DVD): Deep discount to intrinsic value due to inadequate understanding of the business, relatively low market cap, and liquidity, or lack of correlation to benchmark indices. DVD invests in such businesses and exploits market inefficiencies
  3. Hold co: Identifies strong underlying businesses and looks for massive valuation discounts that are likely to recover as promoters feel the heat of change in the regulatory landscape
  4. APJ20: Sectors that become globally competitive and are privy to an expanding market opportunity. APJ20 theme selects firms that have evolved and are in a ripe position to benefit from such growth prospects.
  5. Green: Focus on companies that provide products and services that help in reducing the carbon footprint in the environment and/or result in more efficient use of natural resources. Sectors identified are – emission control, energy efficiency, water management, and waste management.
  6. Insider Shadow: Invests in companies in which founders have acquired a meaningful quantity of additional shares at market prices.
  7. BCAD: Focus is on established companies in the specific sector that are leading the migration of market share from unorganized to organized players. Powerful trends are driving the shift in the balance of competitive advantage in favor o organized businesses.
