Invest predominantly in a few (3 or 4) focused themes / sectors at a time: Presenting deep and large opportunities
– Where-in structural transformation is underway: Changes where the extent of impact is high, which are likely to be reasonably durable (not transitory), and sizable in nature
– Agile management of Themes: Flexibility to change themes, keeping the broad investment philosophy intact, as with time, the greater impact of transformational benefits might get saturated
– Mix of Top-Down & Bottom-Up Approach: Themes may be conceived on a top-down or bottom-up basis, while selection of the businesses would be on a bottom-up basis
