Fund

Vedartha Equity
Opportunities Fund

An open-ended scheme of Bandhan India Equity Hedge Fund registered with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as Category III Alternative Investment Fund.

Objective

The fund operates as an open-ended Category III AIF, managing investments in accordance with its objective of delivering returns to contributors under applicable laws and fund documents.

Its primary objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in listed equities and equity-related securities across various market capitalisations and sectors.

Investment Framework

Our investment strategy follows a disciplined framework that identifies and capitalises on prevailing market inefficiencies with a focus on simplicity, timeliness, and efficiency. We aim to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns by constructing a concentrated yet diversified portfolio of 20-30 high-quality stocks, designed for a long-term horizon of 3-5 years with a low churn rate.

Key Pillars of Our Framework

1. Business Evaluation

  • Focus on scalable, sustainable, and competitive business models with strong corporate governance.

  • Prioritise industries with favourable economic environments, value migration, and robust growth drivers.

  • Identify companies capable of growing earnings faster than inflation, with significant market opportunities.

2. Management Analysis

  • Assess management stability, professional expertise, and alignment of interests through insider activity.

  • Evaluate operational efficiency, strategic vision, and responsiveness to market feedback.

  • Focus on clarity, consistency, and a strong track record in investor communication.

3. Valuation Focus

  • Invest at a substantial discount to intrinsic value while ensuring a margin of safety.

  • Target companies with excess returns on capital employed and strong free cash flow generation.

  • Conduct rigorous risk-return analysis to identify opportunities with high growth and profitability potential.

This strategic approach enables us to participate in India’s growth story by investing in structural themes and market leaders across high-growth sectors with significant entry barriers. Our focus remains on building a resilient portfolio aligned with long-term wealth creation for our investors.
