Research process
Six checks behind every fund we select
Investment products we consider go through thorough research and due diligence, based on a 6P model.
Picking a fund isn't a single check — it's a discipline we apply consistently to every product we consider, across six dimensions. Each one looks at a different way a fund can go right or wrong, so the full picture only comes from checking all six together.

People
Assessing the asset management company's parentage, and the quality and consistency of its portfolio managers.

Portfolio
Evaluating portfolio construction quality, churn ratio, expense ratio, and flexibility.

Process
Assessing the fund house's investment and compliance processes, and how consistently portfolio managers follow them.

Performance
Analysing performance and its consistency over a longer period of time.

Persistency
Persistency of quality, process, and portfolio manager tenure — including performance through both peaks and troughs.

Probability (Risk)
Good performance can still carry high risk — we assess performers with favourable risk-adjusted returns.
Debt selection approach
The 6C debt framework
A disciplined, multi-layered framework for evaluating the issuer, repayment strength, portfolio risks, and independent validation before any debt investment decision.

Credit
- Minimum credit-rating threshold
- CRISIL, CARE and ICRA rating rationale
- Probability of default
- Future rating outlook and downgrade risk

Company
- Promoter quality and financial strength
- Management quality
- Governance standards
- Operating and repayment track record

Capacity
- Ability to repay and cash-flow visibility
- AUM and business growth
- Profitability and return on assets
- Capital adequacy and liquidity
- Debt levels and gearing

Concentration
- Sector diversification
- Product diversification
- Customer concentration
- Geographic concentration

Checks
- Review of rating-agency reports
- Interaction with market participants
- Bond dealers' views
- External expert validation

Committee
- Internal investment committee review
- Independent third-party review

This framework supports a structured evaluation process. It does not eliminate investment or credit risk.
