Investing in stocks with an aim of achieving high future growth is a key strategy for maximizing returns in today’s dynamic market environment. Bearing this fact in mind, Alchemy Capital Management offers a solution through its PMS strategy Alchemy High Growth.

In this blog, we will explore the key features, investment philosophy, and performance metrics associated with the strategy.

Key Features of the Alchemy High Growth:

Alchemy High Growth’s objective is to generate long-term returns by investing in equities and equity-related instruments across all market capitalizations. This investment strategy is tailored for those seeking sustainable growth through a diversified portfolio that spans various sectors and company sizes. The strategy’s primary feature is to identify and invest in companies with strong growth potential, thereby endeavoring to maximize returns over the long term.

1. Basis of Stock Selection

Relevant Universe:

The process begins with identifying a relevant universe of approximately 500 companies. These companies are filtered based on market capitalization, qualitative governance standards, long-term attractiveness, and the return on equity (ROE) profile of the business. This filtering helps to determine the most promising companies forming part of the investible universe.

Investible Universe:

From the relevant universe, an investible universe is created by assessing past and future fundamental variables such as revenue and EBITDA growth, cash flow conversion efficiency, and core ROE. Additionally, qualitative aspects like management capabilities, governance standards, and competitive positioning are evaluated. A thorough valuation exercise, using parameters like P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, and DCF, determines an acceptable valuation range for investment.

Portfolio Construction:

The Fund Manager managing the strategy then constructs the Clients Portfolio from within the investible universe at his discretion.

2. Diversified Portfolio:

We aim to create a well-diversified portfolio to mitigate risk while maximizing returns. The portfolio generally consists of upto 25 stocks and is a mix of large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks across various sectors. This diversification helps in spreading risk and capturing growth opportunities across different segments of the market.

3. Active Management:

The strategy is actively managed under the leadership of Alok Agarwal, the Fund Manager, along with a team of experienced professionals. This active management approach allows the strategy to respond quickly to market changes and take advantage of emerging opportunities. The fund managers continuously monitor the portfolio and make adjustments as needed to optimize performance.

4. Experienced Team:

With our experienced team of investment professionals, there is a strong emphasis on compliance and risk management. Alchemy Capital Management has earned the trust of institutional investors, sovereign funds, ultra-high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), and family offices.

5. Long-Term Focus:

Alchemy High Growth emphasizes on a long-term investment horizon of 3 to 5 years. The investment approach is associated with high risk, reflective of the focus on equities. The portfolio can allocate up to 100% in equities, with any cash portion potentially deployed in liquid funds or debt securities. A typical portfolio may consist of a maximum of 25 stocks across various sectors.

Investment Philosophy Approach

The investment philosophy is centered around long-term capital appreciation through strategic investments in high-growth stocks. Here’s a closer look at the strategy’s approach:

1. Growth at a Reasonable Price:

Alchemy’s investment philosophy is "Growth at Reasonable Price" (GARP). Recognizing India's high-growth economy and strong entrepreneurial culture, the firm aims to identify and invest in growth companies that are poised to capitalize on these dynamics. The strategy combines top-down and bottom-up fundamental research to pinpoint companies with significant long-term wealth creation potential.
