What is their investment philosophy?
Finding quality companies with deep-rooted moats and staying invested for long -term in Indian markets generates tremendous wealth. The wealth generation is almost entirely attributed to compounding of earnings of the underlying companies, and not so much on trying to 'time the markets'., What make such a 'simple' sounding investment philosophy not so 'easy' to follow?, Discipline & patience to stay invested amidst all the noise and chaos of stock market. Inaction is very difficult and rare virtue in investing, but equally rewarding, Identifying the great companies which would compound their earnings at high return on capital year-after-year for 5-10 year periods, How does FidelFolio execute this investment philosophy?, We believe that the holy grail of investment in today's world is where classic fundamental investment philosophy meets new age machines. Using our experience and deep understanding of investments, we have created proprietary machine learning algorithm to identify companies that would be profit compounders over the next 5-10 years. Our system has been trained with over 50 million data points of all listed companies in the Indian markets since 1991. Our system has been trained to identify stocks that are expected to generate 25%+ CAGR investment returns over long-term. These stocks are subjected to our proprietary clean accounting framework to weed out the companies with unscrupulous promoter and management., Is it a black-box-algorithm that invests blindly in what machine learning system recommends?, We believe a combination of human and machines is the most effective duo in investments today. Our team of fundamental analysts works on understanding the underlying drivers and reasons why the stocks would produce compounding earnings over the next decade. Only once we achieve the conviction for each stock we include it in the portfolio. We believe human oversight is of utmost importance to effectively leverage the power of machines today.
