What would the Portfolio Manager do in case of falling markets?
Based on our assessment of the fall, we will accordingly decide on the necessary course of action. In the first instance, depending on the anticipated extent of the correction, we may increase the percentage of cash in the portfolio. Since our focus is always to invest in those companies which are available at an attractive valuation, we believe that in the long term, any stock will always seek its fair valuation which is unaffected by corrections in the market. If however, we see signs of a trend reversal; our focus may change to increasing the cash component and restrict investments to defensive sectors which have low beta relative to the markets.
